Through the remainder of 2025, your trash will be collected by the same hauler currently providing your collection service: Republic, WM, or DPW. You can click here to confirm your provider and district.
Commencing on January 1, 2026, if you are currently in a Republic or WM serviced area, your trash will be collected by Lakeshore Recycling Services (LRS). This would include residents in solid waste districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 10. If you are currently serviced by DPW, you will continue to be serviced by DPW. This includes solid waste districts 5, 7, 8, and 11.
WHAT’S HAPPENING:
- New Indy DPW waste carts will be delivered starting the week of Oct. 6 through the end of the year.
- Your old cart will be collected after your new cart arrives based on your district’s schedule.
WHAT TO DO:
- STEP 1: Begin using your new Indy DPW cart immediately for all household waste.
- STEP 2: Stop using your old cart once your new cart arrives.
- STEP 3: Place your empty old cart at the curb on your regular service day and leave it until collected (allow up to 3 weeks).
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- For current subscription recycling customers, your recycling cart will remain the same (please continue to use it).
- Residents wishing to sign-up for new subscription curbside recycling service for 2026 and 2027 should reach out directly to LRS or wait to receive an invoice with instructions that will be sent out to everyone in December.
- Previously purchased second carts are owned by the resident who purchased them and will remain with the resident to continue to be serviced by LRS commencing on January 1, 2026, regardless of being branded with Republic or WM.
- The DPW carts are manufactured by Cascade or Sierra and made of recycled plastic. The standard cart size is 96-gallons. Your new cart is assigned to your address. If you move, it is not to be taken with you. If you have purchased a second cart, you own that cart. That cart can be taken with you if you move.
