FAQs
City of Indianapolis recycling is serviced on the main street curb due to not safely being able to access alleyways. We do our best to ensure service on your main street and appreciate you joining us in the continuous sustainability of Indy.
Since the cart is mechanically emptied, the driver doesn’t leave the truck. The cart cannot be emptied if recycling is on top of or next to the cart. All recycling must fit inside the cart with the lid closed. Only material that is in the carts will be collected.
