Beech Grove is resuming its free clean city initiative for 2026. 

In addition to paper shredding, the drive-up recycling program allows residents to get rid of hard-to-recycle items, such as: 

• Metal and appliances (except tube TVs)
• Hearing aids
• Eyeglasses
• Medicine
• Used syringes

Community members will receive assistance unloading items from 9 a.m. to noon March 7, June 6, Sept. 5 and Nov. 7 at Beech Grove City Hall, 806 Main St.

Mirror Indy, a nonprofit newsroom, is funded through grants and donations from individuals, foundations and organizations.
