Salem residents should prepare for a change in their waste collection schedule starting in July 2025. Wemiga Waste has announced that beginning Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025, garbage will be collected on Wednesdays instead of the current day.
To accommodate the transition, there will be no garbage pickup on Monday, June 30th, ensuring a smooth start to the new Wednesday collection routine.
Residents are also reminded that Des Moines County curbside recycling will continue to operate on its current schedule, with pickups occurring every other Monday.
Wemiga Waste thanks the community for their cooperation as this scheduling adjustment is made.
