I assume they are sewer line clean outs, but I can't figure out why there are three different cover plates. The pipe that is uncovered has a cover, but it fits lonely over a broken piece.

What are they? Should they be replaced with stuff that is not broken? What type of service do I even call?

Thanks in advance.
They are all functional accesses to your plumbing system and should not be kept buried in case they are needed by a plumber - I keep my clear of grass to allow easy access if needed - check all 3 with a flashlight to ensure they are clear of objects the go to Home depot or Lowes (with the broken top & a picture of the smaller one) Normally there are two together. I had an acclaim irrigation controller box and had the sensor buried under a cap in the front side yard so one may be that. If one is a sensor it easy to see when you check. Don't bury or allow grass to cover anything that may have to be accessed by a plumber or other workmen if needed. Good Luck
