Other:

Other: I saw hypodermic needles being thrown in the trash. They go around picking up lots of then daily they go in a bucket they carry with them , After mixing the needles with trash they dump the bucket in the dumpsters. Why is this happening? How does the city not know this is happening when it is funded through the city of Bloomington..
