Garbage regulations will be discussed when city council’s Rules and Ordinances Committee meets at 6 p.m. Jan. 12.
“Everybody’s complaining about the trash not being picked up on time,” Councilwoman Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey said Tuesday night when contacted by phone.
During the day, it was hard not to notice the overflowing trash containers with more bags and boxes piled on top and to the side sitting by curbs throughout the city. She said there have been complaints about noise, too, and some trucks are leaking on city streets.
Dickey chairs the Rules & Ordinances Committee and announced the meeting during Tuesday’s city council session. She said Councilman Sal Salvino approached her about discussing the garbage rules. She explained the discussion will include regulations for trash haulers and restrictions related to hours for pickup or possibly requiring truck inspections for registration.

How I Lost and Found My Sense of Style During the Pandemic
Isabel B. Slone on how she’s meandering her way through quarantine style. By Isabel B. Slone
In the seven years I’ve lived in Toronto, I’ve managed to stuff 74 pairs of shoes into my tiny shoebox apartment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, I’ve only worn two: comfy grey Allbirds sneakers and a scuffed pair of No. 6 clogs that I kick on and off every time I need to pop downstairs and take out the trash.
As the world settled into varying stages of mandatory quarantine, everything in my carefully curated wardrobe – including my beloved collection of Victorian witch boots – began to feel all wrong. My closetful of monastic, architectural black dresses suddenly felt stifling and constrictive instead of stately and majestic, so they remained untouched while I rotated through three pairs of Lululemon leggings, laundering them only when they had accumulated enough

SALEM City council agreed Tuesday to allow the writing off of $32,696 worth of uncollectible income tax accounts.
Council members met in special session via Zoom to get the action done before the end of the year. The write-offs are one of many tasks the income tax department has been working to accomplish before shutting down and handing the keys to the Regional Income Tax Agency.
RITA is taking over the administration and collection of city income taxes beginning Jan. 1, eliminating the tax office at city hall and ending the jobs for tax office employees.
Mayor John Berlin said the income tax department employees are doing a great job getting ready for the transition to RITA and that everyone should be proud of the work they’ve put in.
