Here’s how trash pickup is going to work in Indianapolis next week

Trash was not picked up Jan. 26-27 because of the winter storm that hit Indianapolis the weekend before. To catch up, the city chose to forgo the usual one-day rolling delay and returned to the regular collection schedule beginning Wednesday, Jan. 28.

The Department of Public Works said that if you missed trash pick-up on Jan. 26-Jan. 27, you are able to leave extra bagged trash out.

“For residents who had solid waste pickup canceled earlier this week, Monday and Tuesday, they are welcome to leave additional bagged trash that won’t fit in their cart at curbside next week,” Kyle Bloyd, chief communications officer for the Department of Public Works, told IndyStar. “Both haulers, Indy DPW and LRS (Lakeshore Recycling Systems), will collect the additional bags on Monday and Tuesday.”

So, if necessary, Indianapolis residents can place bagged trash next to their trash bins for pick up collection on Feb. 2, and Feb. 3.

The revised schedule applies to DPW and Lakeshore Recycling Systems customers throughout Indianapolis.

Did your trash get picked up? You can find what day your trash is picked up on the city’s website at indy.gov/activity/trash-pickup. If you have questions, you can contact the Department of Public Works from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 317-327-4000.
