Trash service set up is not yet available and information will be distributed to residents this fall.

10/03/2024 Update: Important Timeline Change for City-Wide Trash Services

Following the Twilight Town Hall meeting, please note the following update regarding the transition to Republic Services for the City-wide trash contract:

New “Go Live” Date: Republic Services will begin City-wide trash services in Fishers on January 13, 2025.

For current Waste Management (WM) customers, your final week of service will be the week of January 6, 2025.

Please be aware that while WM plans to collect bins the week of January 6, there may be delays. Residents are encouraged to leave bins out on your day of service or after until WM has picked them up. If there is an extended delay in pickup, please reach out to utilities@fishers.in.us.

For more details about contract services and how we will proceed moving forward—as well as answers to frequently asked questions—check out the attached presentation and watch the recording of the Twilight Townhall meeting.

Background

In March 2024, the City of Fishers released the RFP for city-wide waste collection, including trash, recycling, and leaf and landscaping collection for all residential units in Fishers (see below for eligible residential units). The City also conducted a public survey for residents and HOAs to learn more about their current trash services and preferences. 2,532 residents and 120 HOAs completed the survey. Survey results can be found here.

Recommendation

At the Board of Public Works meeting on July 23, City staff presented their recommendation of support for a city-wide trash contract with Republic Services (see the presentation here). Republic already serves the majority of households in the Fishers market and boasts decades of experience operating in the community. View the memo here.
