Curbside recycling is coming to all residents of Indianapolis, but collections won’t start until 2028.

The city’s Board of Public Works announced the recycling service is part of new contract with Lakeshore Recycling Systems, which will oversee solid waste collections for the city.

Lakeshore Recycling will begin servicing Indianapolis at the beginning of next year for residents who have their trash removed by vendors other than the city crews. The Indianapolis Department of Public Works will continue serving its own solid waste districts.

Curbside recycling comes to Indy

The new contract with Lakeshore will provide city residents with universal curbside recycling in 2028, and materials will be processed at a newly-constructed facility. No comprehensive, curbside service is currently available in the city.

“This is the culmination of a years-long process as Indy DPW and the Office of Sustainability sought out comprehensive services at a fair rate for Indianapolis taxpayers,” Indy DPW acting Director Todd Wilson said in the news release.

Here’s what residents need to know

Indy residents will continue to receive their residential trash collection at the existing set-out locations.

Closer to the start of the new contract with Lakeshore, residents will get new, branded trash carts. The city will own these bins at the end of the contract.

Residents will be able to purchase a second cart from current vendors for $65, and those who already have a second cart can keep it until further guidance is offered closer to the beginning of the new contract.

IndyStar’s environmental reporting project is made possible through the generous support of the nonprofit Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.

New partnership celebrates Indianapolis’ Black baseball heritage


INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Indians has partnered with GANGGANG, an agency centered around equity and culture, to honor the history of Negro Leagues and Black baseball in Indianapolis.

The partnership includes revitalized imagery for representing the original Indianapolis Clowns and
Indianapolis ABCs – two historic Negro Leagues franchises in the Circle City. They’ll focus on educational tools and community outreach opportunities through five core principles: respectful representation, cultural education, authenticity through collaboration, understanding and empathy, and empowering impact.

Redesigned on-field hats, jerseys, and merchandise honoring the original franchises of both the ABCs and
Clowns will be launched in May in conjunction with a three-part web series highlighting Negro Leagues
history, current activations and outreach, and GANGGANG’s visual creation process.

“This is an effort to not only celebrate history but also protect history and heritage. It represents a very
important part of Indianapolis history,” said Alan Bacon, co-founder of GANGGANG. “There wouldn’t be
this evolution of baseball if it weren’t for these original creators that we get to celebrate and talk about.”

During Negro Leagues Heritage Weekend on Friday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 22, the Indians will suit

Fans are encouraged to submit their personal stories from playing baseball growing up, attending games at Bush Stadium or Victory Field, and any personal connections to the Indians, Clowns or ABCs, to baseball in Indiana here.
