How collection works
How trash collection works in Gary.
Trash collection in Gary is run by the Gary Sanitary District's Waste Management department, and the City of Gary collects only trash placed in the authorized black cans.
The District brought collection in-house with a new fleet of 10 trucks and 14 new Gary-resident drivers, and says residents' current collection schedule stays the same.
The District's Schedule page lists the holidays that move collection, and its trash FAQ says to report a missed pickup to Gary 311 at (219) 881-1311. The District's office is at 3600 West 3rd Avenue, Gary (219-944-0595, 9:00am-3:00pm Monday-Friday).
If your collection day is on a holiday (New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas Day), your trash is collected on the following business day.
