Trash pickup in Indy is affected by the snow, because 25 of the city's dump trucks are pressed into service as snowplows.
There will be no residential trash or recycling collection today (13 February), according to the city's website.
Normal collection days will ‘slide’ to one day later if the resident’s normal collection day falls on or after Tuesday. Trash and recycling normally collected on Tuesday will be completed Wednesday, and so on, with Friday routes completed Saturday, February 17, weather permitting.
