Fishers, IN Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Disposal of large or heavy items in Fishers is handled through Republic Services rather than a separate municipal program. Bulk and heavy item collection is available by appointment for a fee, reported at about $25 per pickup, which residents arrange directly with Republic through the customer portal or by phone at 317-917-7300. Typical bulk items include furniture, mattresses, and large household goods; residents should schedule the pickup in advance and set items out per Republic's instructions rather than leaving them indefinitely at the curb. In addition to on-demand bulk service, the citywide program includes seasonal benefits: extra leaf and yard-waste pickup is provided in April and November (up to roughly 20 bags), and 'snowbird' residents can pause service over the winter. Because uncollected bulk items left at the curb or in common areas can become a nuisance, leftover or improperly set-out items fall under the Property Maintenance Code (Chapter 157) and can prompt a Friendly Notice and then a documented violation if not removed. Items that cannot go through curbside bulk service, such as certain electronics, hazardous materials, paint, or tires, are not accepted in regular collection and must be taken to an appropriate Hamilton County recycling or household-hazardous-waste drop-off. For exact current bulk pricing, item limits per appointment, and scheduling, residents should confirm with Republic Services.
