'We want the public to know we are driving over the same streets they are driving over. Our trash is on the same curb ... we are doing our best.'
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Department of Public Works has openings for dozens of positions across all of its divisions.
"The complaints are up. We just don't have the staffing to cover all of those routes," said DPW Solid Waste Deputy Director Shawn Brock.Brock says his department is need of 18 drivers and employees are being pulled from different units to make ends meet. Brock says it's led to more complaints from the community. Southport resident Mary Bowen doesn't mind the wait.Trash collection isn't the only division short staffed. 51 positions are open in the operations division, where employees fill potholes and monitor illegal dumping and traffic signals.
Keith says DPW desperately needs more certified commercial drivers to operate the trucks while other crew members get the jobs done. CDL A and B licensed drivers are needed."We do have a lot of positions open, which means we don't have a lot of people out. Indianapolis is a big city, which means we have a lot of different things we need to do, which means we need personnel to do those jobs," Keith said.
