For self-haul, the Salem-Keizer Recycling & Transfer Station at 3250 Deer Park Dr. SE, Salem accepts residential and commercial garbage, yard debris, tires, and appliances for a fee, and takes many recyclables (car batteries, electronics, scrap metal, motor oil) for free. Posted rates are $130.00 per ton for general garbage (minimum $30.00) and $80.00 per ton for yard waste (minimum $20.00). For curbside bulky-waste collection, Marion County Code 8.05.120 requires bulky items to be securely tied in bundles or placed in boxes or sacks, and bundled bulky waste may not exceed 60 pounds in weight unless the customer arranges special service. Marion County's waste stream also feeds the Covanta Marion waste-to-energy facility in Brooks.
Depositing hazardous or unaccepted materials, or dumping outside approved sites, violates MCC 8.05.080 and 8.05.160 and state law; improper bulky-waste handling is enforced under the county solid-waste code.
