Gary Sanitary District Waste Management
The department of Waste Management is committed to provide our residents with quality garbage collection disposal services.
- The City of Gary collects only trash in the authorized BLACK cans.
The Benefits for Gary Residents
- Stable Household Rates: Bringing collection in-house allows the City to maintain your collection trash to a manageable cost, protecting you from unpredictable private rate hikes.
- Local Control & Investment: Eliminating the middleman ensures accountability, better service quality, and direct investment in our city.
- New Equipment & Jobs: We’ve invested in a brand-new fleet of 10 modern trucks and hired 14 new Gary resident drivers.
What This Means for You “We Can Maintain Reasonable Rates”
- No Service Interruption: Your current collection schedule will remain the same.
“This is a commitment to local control and local investment. We are expanding our essential services while maintaining reasonable rates to directly benefit our residents.”
– Mayor Eddie Melton
