As Dyer continues to recover from the recent storm, Town crews, Public Works employees, emergency personnel, contractors, utility crews, and community partners continue working throughout the community. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our residents throughout the recovery process.

TREE LIMB & DEBRIS CLEANUP

Public Works crews and contracted tree removal companies continue collecting storm-related tree limbs throughout Dyer.

• Place tree limbs and branches at the curb for collection.
• Keep limb piles clear of parked vehicles, fire hydrants, electrical boxes, and other obstructions so large equipment can safely access them.
• Residents and contractors may also bring tree limbs to the designated drop-off area at Dyer Public Works, 516 Edmond Drive.
• Do not place tree limbs or yard debris in residential dumpsters.

♻️ RESIDENTIAL DUMPSTER ACCESS

Dumpsters remain available for Dyer residents only at the following locations:

Dyer Public Works – 516 Edmond Drive

• Monday–Thursday: 7:00 AM–5:00 PM
• Friday–Sunday: 7:00 AM–3:00 PM
• A separate container is available for spoiled food.

Pheasant Hills Park – 2301 Nondorf Street
North side of the pond — available dawn to dusk.

Northgate Park – off Calumet Avenue
Available dawn to dusk.

Please place permitted items completely inside the dumpsters and help keep these locations clean and safe.

⚡ POWER & INDIVIDUAL HOME ISSUES

As widespread power restoration nears completion, some individual properties may still require repairs or additional coordination with NIPSCO before service can be restored.

If your home's weatherhead or other homeowner-owned electrical equipment is damaged, repairs may be required before power can safely be restored. Residents should contact the Dyer Building Department to verify that an electrician is properly licensed before hiring or providing payment.

ASSISTANCE FOR RESIDENTS

Please continue checking on neighbors, seniors, and anyone who may need additional assistance.

Residents needing help or assistance connecting with available resources may contact the Town of Dyer at 219-865-6108.

Additional assistance may also be available through the St. John Township Trustee's Office at 219-865-2705.

REPORT STORM DAMAGE

Residents who experienced storm-related property damage are encouraged to report it through Indiana 211. Damage reports help local and state officials document the overall impact of the storm and identify potential recovery needs and resources.

For Indiana 211 assistance, call 1-866-211-9966.

STORM RECOVERY INFORMATION HUB

The Town's Storm Recovery Information Hub will continue to serve as the central location for cleanup information, available resources, assistance programs, and important recovery updates.

Thank you to our residents for your patience and cooperation—and to everyone who has worked long hours to help Dyer recover. The progress made throughout our community would not be possible without the tremendous effort of our crews, first responders, contractors, utility workers, community partners, and residents.

Dyer continues to recover together.

The Town of Dyer has declared a Local Disaster Emergency following the severe August 11 storm that caused widespread power outages, flooding, downed trees and infrastructure damage.

The declaration allows the Town to access additional resources, coordinate assistance and take necessary actions to support emergency response and recovery.

As we enjoy walking our pets throughout the community, please remember to follow the Town of Dyer's Animal Waste Ordinance.

Many children and families use our parks, trails, and green spaces for recreation and play. Recently, the amount of pet waste being left behind has increased and has become a concern for residents and park users.

Please do your part by cleaning up after your pets and properly disposing of waste. Together, we can help keep our parks, sidewalks, and public spaces clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

Town of Dyer Animal Waste Ordinance (Sec. 6-86):
The owner of every animal is responsible for removing any waste deposited by their animal on public walks, recreation areas, or private property.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep Dyer a great place to live!

The banners have been a valuable resource, helping us to deliver a great first impression to many of our community’s first-time visitors. Furthermore, it is without question that these banners have helped us reinforce our brand, brighten and invigorate our business districts and drive attention to our local merchants and organizations. The program also helps Dyer, IN by showcasing our community's economic vitality and the support of our local businesses and organizations. 

Because of the ongoing success of the initiative, we are excited to announce that Dyer has qualified to acquire a brand-new series of banners, featuring an exciting new design theme. Outreach for the new display will be conducted by Community Showcase Banners, the same company who has helped us year after year.

Whether you are an original supporter or you are being offered this opportunity for your very first time, I encourage you to consider participating in this program, as it provides an excellent way to showcase your pride in the community.

I thank you for your continued investment and belief in Dyer’s potential.
