Salem is located in scenic Southern Indiana just 35 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky and less than 100 miles south of Indianapolis, Indiana. Salem is a great place to live and make a living. We have high achieving public schools, and a wide variety of community activities. Salem also has a strong and diverse economic base. If you're a visitor to Salem, we hope you will take note of our many unique and historic destinations. As a city, Salem has retained much of its small town flavor, a flavor that is enhanced by the city’s tree-lined streets, stately old homes and a friendly atmosphere that has been nurtured and handed down through the generations.
Garbage collection in the City of Salem will be delayed by one day due to the Labor Day holiday, advises Mayor Justin Green.
Labor Day will be observed on Monday, Sept. 5.
Monday’s route will be collected Tuesday; Tuesday’s route will run Wednesday and so forth throughout the remainder of the week.
“I appreciate residents’ efforts to help keep our city clean and attractive,” said Mayor Green. “I also thank them for their understanding when there is a change in the regular schedule.”
The City of Salem utilizes Blevins Sanitation for garbage collection.
Mayor Green advises the city will issue information prior to all holidays to remind residents about the collection schedule.
