Background
The City of Fishers implemented a citywide contract with Republic Services for residential trash services in January 2025, including trash, recycling, and leaf and landscaping collection for all residential units in Fishers. Benefits of a city-wide contract include:
- The ability for the City to assist residents with trash concerns and issues;
- Reduced wear on neighborhood roadways;
- A leveraged economies of scale to secure services not currently offered to the majority of residents, such as leaf and landscaping pickup;
- And a locked-in rate for 10 years.
See a review of Republic Services collection procedures.
In March 2024, the City of Fishers released the RFP for city-wide waste collection. The City 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.
At the Board of Public Works meeting on July 23, 2024, City staff presented their recommendation of support for a city-wide trash contract with Republic Services (see the presentation here). Republic already served the majority of households in the Fishers market and boasted decades of experience operating in the community. View the memo here.
