To Whom It May Concern:
The Salem Board of Health has received numerous complaints regarding your
trash trucks parked on Forest Avenue in Salem, MA.
On Monday, May 19, 2025, David Greenbaum, Health Agent for the Salem Board

your trucks parked on the side of the road with a barrel full of trash and debris
next to it. Additionally, pictures were provided to the Salem Board of Health

Therefore, in accordance with Massachusetts General Law c.111, s123, you are
ordered to remove these trucks from Canal Street in Salem and cease and desist
parking these trucks on any street in the City of Salem.
Additionally, you must apply for and receive the required permits to operate as a
waste hauler in the City of Salem.
These violations must be corrected within 24 hours of receipt of this order.
