Keep Fishers Beautiful encourages the community to take an active part in the upkeep of Fishers neighborhoods and parks. While we have a stellar Department of Public Works in Fishers that works daily to keep our city not just looking nice, but also functional and safe, it is important that residents take ownership of the community in which they live to help us keep the city clean and beautiful for everyone who lives, works and plays in Fishers.
