Trash Pickup Delayed One Day Following Holiday

Fishers, IN · July 5, 2026

The smoke from last night’s fireworks has cleared, leaving a quiet Sunday morning in its wake. If you are looking for your trash bins, keep them tucked away for an extra 24 hours while the city catches its breath.

📰 The Lead

The Fall Creek Bridge has officially reopened to vehicle traffic as of 6:00 AM this morning following last night’s festivities. While the pyrotechnics are over, the work for city crews is just beginning. Maintenance teams are currently patrolling the Geist Waterfront Park and surrounding neighborhoods to clear debris and reset public spaces for the remainder of the weekend. For those who spent the holiday on the water, the DNR is reminding boaters to maintain idle speeds near the bridge today as cleanup crews continue to scan the shoreline for any stray remnants from the show. It is a slower pace today, but a necessary one to get the city back to its usual shine before the Monday morning commute.
