The City of Fishers is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Indiana. Such a sudden explosion of growth may have hit other communities by storm, but we have been fortunate in Fishers to have the community leadership and vision to develop a charted course for our future.

At the heart of this vision is our commitment to protect our environment and preserve the neighborhood spirit and civic pride that remains the foundation of our community. To further ensure the quality of life we enjoy, the City of Fishers has enacted the Adopt-A-Road program to improve the environment and beautify our roadsides.

Established in 1992, the Adopt-A-Road program is an opportunity for individuals, community groups, and organizations to volunteer and take pride in the appearance of our community. At the same time, this allows the City to concentrate more of its resources on road maintenance and construction.

By giving our office 48-hour advanced notice, we will be able to provide you with all the necessary equipment needed to perform your pick-ups. The city will supply safety vests, gloves, and plastic trash bags. Upon your notification, we will remove the bags from the roadside, and any large or dangerous items that you/your organization flag.

If you/your organization are interested in participating in the Adopt-A-Road program, please CLICK HERE to fill out the Fishers Adopt-A-Road Agreement Application.

Thank you for your interest in the City of Fishers Adopt-A-Road program and your willingness to help maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the community in which we live and work. Please feel free to contact Amy Crell at (317)670-9437 if you have any questions.

The City of Fishers has enacted the Adopt-A-Storm Drain program to improve the water quality of our streams while reducing flood risk in our community. Storm drains (also known as catch basins) are crucial parts of the city’s infrastructure that collect rainfall and snowmelt that cannot be absorbed through asphalt or pavement. Keeping these drains clear and free of debris prevents pollutants from entering local waterways and helps reduce localized flooding by ensuring water can flow freely down the drain. 

Adopt-a-Storm Drain is a Fishers volunteer program that provides the public with an opportunity to be actively involved in clearing storm drains.  The endeavor strives to improve the water quality of our streams while reducing flood risk in our community. Storm drains are important infrastructure that redirect rainfall to our waterways. They can often get clogged with debris or used for dumping pollutants. Protect storm drains near you by making sure only rain goes down the drain! The City of Fishers is asking residents and other community members to sign up and Adopt-A-Storm Drain to help keep Fishers safe.

The Role of an Adopt-A-Storm Drain Participant

The only prerequisite for Adopt-a-Drain is to have a genuine concern for the well-being of our community.
