Avon is amazingly beautiful . In order to keep it that way, we need all Avon residents and business owners to keep the trash in appropriate receptacles. The Town invests money and time trying to keep the Town looking good and differentiating itself from everywhere else. We ask residents to help us by not throwing trash out the window, or on the ground. It's actually cheaper for you to take it home and throw it away in your trash can than throwing it out your window and the Town paying for someone to pick it up.
We appreciate everyone’s help in making Avon a better place to live.
The Avon Pol ice Depar tment i s cur rent ly accept ing appl icat ions for ful l t ime of f icer pos i t ions . The deadl ine to apply is September 17th 2021 at 9:00 a.m. Test ing wi l l begin wi th phys ical agi l i ty test ing and a wr i t ten exam on September 18th 2021 at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainf ield.
