Local Fishers residents worried about the escalating cost of trash collection should know the City of Fishers is moving along with reviewing the three responses received following  the Request for Proposals (RFP) on a city-wide contract.  Republic, WM (formerly known as Waste Management) and Priority all submitted proposals

City of Fishers spokesperson Ashley Elrod says staff is reviewing all three bids, which all “are in line with our expectations.”  The city is currently in a negotiation period with all 3 firms bidding on the contract.

The public hearing on the bids was originally expected to be held in July, but that may slip into August, with no firm date set.  Elrod says the timeline, other than the public hearing, is “still on track.”

The earliest any new city-wide trash contract would be in place would be January of 2025.
