Salem residents would pay about $20 more per year for garbage collection if the city council approves requested rate increases for private haulers at their meeting tonight at 6pm. If approved, it would cause increases on Jan. 1, 2024 and again on Jan. 1, 2025. Councilors will also consider the city’s lobbying plans for the next legislative session, two public hearings on code changes, 2 police lawsuit settlements, climate planning and a presentation on Forever Chemicals. The council meets tonight at 6 p.m. in-person at the city council chambers, 555 Liberty St. S.E., room 220, with the meeting also available to watch online.
