Set-out rules
Cart and set-out rules in Indianapolis.
Heavy trash is capped at two bulky items per month, placed at the curb beside the cart on your designated heavy-trash day.
Trash has to be bagged inside garbage bags before it goes into the free 96-gallon city cart, and the cart must be at the curb before 7 a.m. on collection day.
Set the cart two to three feet back from the curb with the arrows on it pointing toward the street or alley.
Leave at least five feet of space between the cart and every object or building around it.
Up to two heavy or bulky items may go at the curb beside the cart on the heavy trash pickup day, with a limit of two per month; box springs and mattresses must lie flat on the ground rather than lean against anything.
