Recycle campaign signs through November 30
Carmel Utilities and the Carmel Street Department are partnering with the Hamilton County Household Hazardous Waste Center and Recycle Force to recycle campaign signs generated from the 2023 election seasons. This recycling initiative prevents an abundance of yard signs going to a local landfill as they cannot be recycled in regular curbside pickup. If residents do not plan on returning their campaign signs to individual candidates, they are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to recycle.
This link takes you to the news release and recycling location information.

Fall leaf and landscape waste removal
From now through December 15, each Carmel Utilities/Republic Services customer home is allowed up to 20 bags/bundles (four feet or shorter bundles) of landscape waste pick up per week, free of charge.
For more information on Republic Services programs for Carmel customers, please visit the Carmel Utilities website: Trash - Carmel Utilities
