My trash was not picked up. The it is at the end of my driveway. It is properly located. When leaving for work this morning I can see that the lid is flipped backward off the can. My trash is ready to be picked up and still in the can. There are trash cans in my neighborhood, laying on their side and in the road. Also the yellow recycling cans are in the road laying down. When will my trash be picked up?

It has been almost two months since my bins where actually emptied I have tried talking to the guys on my route my cans are always where they are supposed to be and they never empty them completely and they always spill the recycling in my yard.

To Whom It May Concern:
I'm writing regarding recycling collection. On a few occasions during the past few months, including today, we have not had recycling picked up. I suspect that it's because our cans have been moved together since we put them out. My wife and I are well aware of the regulations that the recycling and trash cans must be separated on the street. On Sunday evenings, we put the cans out separated by at least six feet, as was the case last night. I came home from work today to find that the recycling was not picked up. Our trash can was moved adjacent to it. I'm not sure if it's because the trash pick up has set our can back too close, if it gets moved when the can falls over into the street when placed back, or if people are moving our cans because they want to park on the block, but this is a problem. I find this regulation of can separation extremely frustrating when we comply with the rules when we put our cans out only to have our recycling not picked up. Please reconsider how this system works. We simply don't have the luxury of time to sit and watch our cans until both have been picked up. We now have a bin full of recycling that will sit for another week with more accumulation occurring and nowhere to put it. We comply with the rules and should not be stuck in these situations simply because the system is too inflexible to handle adjacent bins that get moved after we put them out.
Sincerely,
Brian Kelly

There is an all too common issue regarding the people who pick up Bloomington’s trash. Every week I have witnessed these men refuse to throw out a garbage bin because the lid is slightly ajar. The disrespect to only complete have their job and just leave residents’ full trash cans on the side of the road is unacceptable. I’m sure the city doesn’t want trash being left on the streets all week. Our property management said that trash not picked up will results in fines from the city. Well, if the city isn’t cleaning up the trash in the first place, this will not be the case. Can we please get a trash policy change or allow these college apartments/ houses have more than one trash and recycling bin so that this is never a problem again. Thanks.
