Full Breakdown
Fishers City Code § 50.08 charges every residential unit a combined monthly trash, solid waste, and recycling collection fee, rising from $16.39 in 2025 to $26.89 by 2034. The fee is billed with the resident's wastewater bill; a property that gets trash service but no city wastewater service is still billed the monthly fee directly. Unpaid fees carry the same late fees, penalties, interest, and lien rights as delinquent sewer bills.
Violations & Fines
Unpaid trash and recycling fees are collected through the same remedies as delinquent wastewater bills, including liens on the property under I.C. § 36-9-23.
