  • Vacation or extended travel
  • Temporary employment relocation
  • Temporary education relocation
  • Extended absence due to health reasons
  • Any other valid temporary absence as outlined by the City of Fishers


Additionally:

Sharing garbage services with another unit or property while on a Service Hold is prohibited.

  • The Service Hold must last for a minimum of eight (8) consecutive weeks and may not exceed 26 weeks per calendar year.


Service Hold Start and End Dates:

  • The City of Fishers does not prorate trash services. Service dates operate on a monthly cycle from the 15th of one month to the 14th of the next month.
  • The Service Hold will take effect during the next full billing cycle following your request, regardless of the requested start date.
