The basics

Hauler

Priority Waste, under the Town of Zionsville’s contract (since April 10, 2023).

Who it covers

Homes in the town’s urban service district. In the rural service district or outside town limits, you hire your own hauler.

Trash

Every week, Monday to Friday by zone. Crews start at 7 a.m., so set carts out the night before.

Recycling

Every other week, on your zone’s A or B week.

Cost

$13.46 a month through March 31, 2027, on the Town’s sewer and trash bill.

Start or stop service

Through the Town: new service or final service request.

Missed pickup or broken cart

Priority Waste at (855) 927-8365, or its missed-stop and cart damage forms.

Night-before reminders on your calendar

Each zone has a calendar feed with a reminder at 7 p.m. the night before every pickup, about a year ahead, holiday slides applied and recycling weeks marked. Your calendar subscribes to it, so it updates on its own.

♻ = recycling week for that zone · “late” = holiday slide applied

What goes in the carts

Cart rules

• Everything goes in a cart with the lid closed. Bags beside the cart, yard-waste bags included, are not picked up.
• Up to two trash carts a week, and two recycling carts on your recycling week. Priority Waste sells extra carts.
• Set carts with the lid opening toward the street, 3 feet apart, clear of cars, mailboxes and landscaping.
• Empty and rinse containers: the truck compacts hard enough to squeeze liquids out.
• To retire an old cart, set it out on your non-recycling week with a note or a red X.

Paint, chemicals and electronics: the Boone County Solid Waste Management District holds Tox Drop and special collections (boonecountysolidwaste.com, (765) 483-0687). Cart rules and materials are from Priority Waste’s 2026 Zionsville brochure and Zionsville page.

Bulk items and heavy trash

Bulk pickup, any week ($10 an item)

For anything too big for the cart, schedule a pickup with Priority Waste at least 48 hours before your pickup day, online or at (855) 927-8365. It costs $10 an item, up to three items. Booked later, it goes the following week.

• A mattress and box spring together count as one item, as do a chair and ottoman. Couches, toilets and empty water heaters qualify.
• Nothing over 50 pounds. No tires, bricks, pavers or concrete.
• Appliances with Freon need it removed and tagged by a technician, and the doors taken off. Tape or break down mirrors and glass.

Heavy-trash week (free, once a year)

The Town takes up to six items per home on its trash service, 50 pounds or less each, set out by 7 a.m. on your non-recycling week. The latest ran the weeks of June 8 and June 15, 2026; the next dates aren’t posted yet. Tires and Freon appliances don’t count toward the six, but call Public Works at (317) 873-4544 first. Not taken: tube TVs, paint, oil and other liquids, batteries, propane tanks, construction debris, fencing, concrete, soil, trees and stumps, and loose piles. (Town of Zionsville)

Yard waste, brush and leaves

Grass clippings and small yard waste go in the trash cart. There is no separate compost route, and yard-waste bags beside the cart are not picked up.

Brush and limbs

Public Works collects brush twice a year in the urban service district, one week per area. The fall 2026 round ran the weeks of September 28 and October 5; the next round’s dates aren’t posted yet. Set it out by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday of your area’s week: pieces 6 inches across or smaller, unbundled, laid the same direction, up to a pickup-truck load. Not taken: leaves, grass, vines, stumps, root balls, lumber, firewood or fencing. Questions: (317) 873-4544. Between rounds, GreenCycle takes brush and limbs free for composting. (Town of Zionsville)

Leaves

The Town vacuums leaves from the curb, generally from late October through late November (in 2025, October 20 to November 30). There’s no set day: crews try to reach every street once a week, or every two weeks at the peak. Rake leaves into long, narrow piles at the curb, leaves only. (Town of Zionsville)
