Here's what I periodically run to look for unused indexes:
select relname, indexrelname
from pg_stat_user_indexes
where indexrelname not like '%_pkey'
and idx_scan = 0
order by relname, indexrelname
;
We omit the primary keys from the list (based on our naming
convention) because they are needed to ensure integrity.
