Residential Services

 

The Department of Public Works (DPW) has several residential services to help keep Indianapolis running:

Keeping Neighborhoods Clean and Trash-Free

DPW staff and contractors help keep neighborhoods clean by coordinating trash pickup, leaf collection, recycling and dead animal pickup.  We also collect abandoned vehicles, investigate illegal dumping, remove graffiti and enforce the city's weed control ordinance.  These services help maintain aesthetic appearances and quality of life in Indianapolis neighborhoods.

Keeping Water Clean and Flowing

The city has begun a much-needed program to improve water quality in Indianapolis neighborhoods.  DPW oversees the operation of the city's two wastewater treatment plants and sewage collection system.  We also work to improve drainage, reduce flooding and extend sewers to neighborhoods served by septic systems.  These efforts are improving our quality of life and making our neighborhoods cleaner and healthier.
