Sticker Program Guidelines
1. Stickers are sold to remove all appliances containing freon and other hazardous chemicals and must be purchased for $20.00 at the Department of Public Services, located at 5 Jefferson Avenue (978-744-3302).
-- White Goods include washers, dryers, hot water heaters, dishwashers, trash compactors and stoves. Call Northside Carting at 978-745-0635 to schedule a pick up. Remove doors and lids for safety prior to placing item curbside for pickup. Doors and shelving may also go out with your regular curbside pick up.
2. Stickers cost $20 and are payable ONLY BY CHECK. Checks may be made out to the City of Salem.
3. Pickups for stickered items will generally be the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month. (There may be an exception should a Holiday fall on that particular day).
4. At time of sticker purchase, you will be scheduled for a pick-up date.
5. Sticker must be applied to the front of the item as registered at the DPS Office for pick up to take place. (No substitute to be made)
6. Stickered items must be placed curbside by 7 am the day of pickup or no earlier than 6 pm the night before.
7. The pickups may begin promptly at 7 am.
8. If you are not able to have the item out as scheduled it is your responsibility to notify the DPS at 978-744-3302 no later than 12 noon on the Wednesday of the scheduled week. At the time of the call we will schedule you for an optional date or stickers may be put on hold for future use.
9. If unsuccessful at picking up the items on the scheduled date, then you will need to contact the DPS Office at 978-744-3302 to purchase an additional sticker and schedule a later pickup date. Again, it is very important that you call us no later than Wednesday by 12 noon to avoid any further charges to be incurred for rescheduling.
10. There are no refunds on this program. Monies collected will be applied as administration fees.
11. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the DPS Office at 978-744-3302. |
