Important Notice: Early Trash & Recycle Pickup Next Week Due to Extreme Heat

Jun 25, 2026

Dear Carmel Utilities/Republic Services Customers:

Due to the extreme weather conditions forecasted for next week, Republic Services will be adjusting the collection schedule to protect drivers from the high temperatures.

  • New Start Time: 5 a.m. (instead of 7 a.m.)
  • What you need to do: Please place your trash and recycling carts out the night before your regularly scheduled service day.

This minor adjustment ensures our hard-working drivers can minimize their time in the peak heat while ensuring your service remains uninterrupted.
Thank you for your cooperation and helping us keep our community workers safe!
