The city of Salem is not very taxpayer friendly. In fact, they are much more friendly to non taxpayers like NSMC, PEM and SSU . Those institutions have been doing whatever they want for years. NSMC lost $60 million last year and are putting a new sidewalk on Highland Ave and repaving Dove ave. PEM doing a massive expansion. SSU has completely ruined south Salem. With all that , the streets in Salem are a disgrace. Trash issues a disgrace. Traffic a mess. The only time Salem does anything is when they get a grant. Now they want input for the development of Winter Island. What are we doing ?

Call your City Councilor as that is that they are paid to do - respond to constituent issues. SeeClickFix is answered by someone at City Hall. After you speak with your councilor then write a comment and remember to do follow up if the issue is not resolved. All you are doing with this is saving them a phone call/email.

Well Said, John. And, thanks, Mary, for the advice.

An inspector will address this issue.

We investigated the dumpster on 8/27/2018 and found the dumpster has been emptied. Please contact us if the problem reoccurs.

Thanks for fixing this request!

Due to the fact that this is a reoccurring problem I am wondering what has been done to address that fact? It is only empty until it is full AGAIN.

I use to live in this building 3 years ago the owner sold over the summer and didn’t inform the new owner that he had a private trash company. This is what the problem is i unfortunately don’t know the new owner but the old owner was terrible this place should’ve been condemned nice and rats in the basements. Leaks all over everything breaking power going out all the time.
