INDIANAPOLIS — All residential trash, heavy trash and recycling collection was cancelled for Wednesday, Jan. 30 and Thursday, Jan. 31. Normal service will resume on Friday, February 1.
Routes missed will receive a double pickup on Wednesday, Feb. 6 and Thursday, Feb. 7. Residents with cancelled routes may set bags outside of their carts for pickup next week. The dangerously frigid temperatures bring safety risks to DPW drivers as frostbite can occur quickly. The frigid air also impacts the performance of residential trash trucks, inhibiting their ability to run properly.
Residents are reminded that colder temperatures may require extra time of DPW staff on regular pickup routes, as crews must allow time to warm up equipment for regular use.
