# City of Indianapolis Services & Information

Residents can connect with representatives from City agencies at monthly membership meetings. Attendees from IMPD, Marion County Public Health, and the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office are regularly in attendance, as well as our Neighborhood Advocate from the Mayor’s Office. Other City services and information can be found at [herron-morton.com](https://herron-morton.com/?page_id=57) or [indy.gov](https://www.indy.gov/). You can also email [herronmortonplace@gmail.com](mailto:herronmortonplace@gmail.com) for help connecting with City representatives. 

Be a good neighbor! In order to keep all areas easily accessible, please put your trash and/or recycle bins away after pick up.

- Up to two items of heavy trash will be collected each month.
- The following items are acceptable for heavy trash:

- Large yard waste: Tie limbs, shrubbery cuttings, etc., in bundles no larger than 3 feet by 3 feet. Each bundle counts as one heavy trash item.

### Fall Leaf Season Collection

- Each household is permitted 40 bags of leaves for weekly disposal.
- Place leaves in large plastic trash bags, specially-built large paper lawn-waste bags, and/or bag leaves and place your regular trash cart.
- Place the leaf bags out by 7 a.m. on your regular trash day.
- Keep all leaf bags at least three feet away from cart collection areas to ensure trucks can service the carts.

### Christmas Tree Disposal

From December 26th until January 31st, trees can be dropped off from dusk until dawn at the following Indy Parks locations.
