During Spruce Up Weeks, City of Salisbury residents can place items at the curb on their regular collection day before 7:00 a.m.
The City of Salisbury Public Works Department will pick up your old appliances, tires without rims (up to 5) and extra bagged trash. This is a great time to encourage a neighborhood cleanup!
This collection is for residents living inside the city limits of Salisbury only. NO BUSINESSES.
