Fishers switched to a single citywide hauler, Republic Services, in January 2025. Service includes weekly trash and biweekly recycling using city-issued 96-gallon carts, billed monthly on the city utility bill (about $16.39 in 2025, rising to $17.33 in 2026 under Section 50.08).
Effective the week of January 13, 2025, the City of Fishers moved all incorporated single-family residential households to a single citywide hauler, Republic Services, replacing the previous open-market system where homeowners and HOAs contracted individually (Waste Management was a prior provider). Each household receives city-issued carts from Republic, typically two 96-gallon carts (one for trash, one for recycling). The standard service is weekly trash collection and biweekly (every-other-week) curbside recycling, with additional benefits including seasonal leaf and yard-waste pickup in April and November (up to about 20 bags) and a 'snowbird' option to pause service over the winter. Collection days were reassigned under Republic and vary by location; residents look up their day using the city's online map (FishersIN.gov/Trash). The mandatory program is funded by a monthly fee set by ordinance in Section 50.08 (Fees for Trash, Solid Waste and Recycling Collection and Disposal for Residential Units), which establishes annual rates for 2025 through 2034. The 2025 rate is about $16.39 per month and the 2026 rate is about $17.33 per month, billed on the city utility bill (the first charge appeared on the February 2025 bill). For service questions, missed pickups, or cart requests, residents contact Republic Services at 317-917-7300; billing questions go to Fishers Utilities at 317-595-3140.
Participation in the citywide program and payment of the Section 50.08 fee are mandatory for covered residential units; the fee appears on the city utility bill and unpaid utility charges are collected through the city's standard utility-billing process. Missed-pickup and service complaints are resolved by Republic Services (317-917-7300) rather than by fine.
