Please remember: Raking or blowing leaves into the street is prohibited by SRC 76.015. You can place leaves in your yard debris cart for weekly pick-up.

Most street sweeper routes are completed in numerical order around once a month. Streets with heavy leaf debris are cleaned more frequently during leaf season. They are also likely to get a visit from the leaf crew, which is a separate operation.

Regular Sweeping: Sweepers operate Monday through Friday. They do not run on weekends, holidays or garbage pick-up days on your route. Special circumstances that may disrupt or delay regular sweeping include:

• Urgent clean-up needs like spills and broken glass
• Equipment breakdowns
• Staff shortages due to illness, vacations, or hiring needs.

Arterial roadways (Pine, Commercial, Liberty, Lancaster, etc.) aren't swept on the same schedule as neighborhood routes. They are swept by night sweeper operators. The downtown area is also swept on a different schedule.

Also, the leaf crew will not sweep every street within a route. They focus on areas with heavy leaf drop.

Streets are not swept include:

• Private streets or private property
• Unimproved streets (generally, only curbed streets are swept)
• Streets in unincorporated Salem (outside Salem city limits)
