• 55 gallon overage tags for extra trash are available for purchase should residents ever need them. $2.50 each.
• Extra carts (over the 3 provided in the base bid) will be made available at an extra charge of $5.00 per cart/per month.
Landscape Waste:
During the months of April, May, October and November, each household is allowed 20 extra bags or bundles per week of Landscape waste. Outside of these months, each household is allowed one 4 foot bundle of twigs/limbs that are tied and bundled in addition to one trash container.
Alternate Sized Carts:
We ask that a 30 day trial period is given to evaluate container size before ordering a different sized container. If you determine that a different sized will better fit you needs call Republic Services at 317-917-7300 ext. 0 and inform the representative of the desired size. Container sizes are 96, 65 and 48 gallon. Please note the footprint of all three container sizes is similar so you are encouraged to go with the larger container size for times when extra capacity is needed.
Bulky Item Pickup:
Bulky items include household furniture, some appliances, bicycles, etc. Special pickup for these items include an additional fee of $10.00 per item to be paid by the resident. Please contact Republic Services at least 48 hours prior to your normal pickup day if you have a heavy or bulky item. Prior arrangements are required. To contact Republic Services, click here. For items that contain Freon, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and other items, please contact us for instructions on disposing these items.
