This is a thank you to the persons responsible for trash pickup today. We are overrun with trash and trash cans overflowing and the sanitation crews are picking it up. We could not be more grateful to the crews and hope this message gets to them. Thank you!
The homeless are camping out in the lot next to us again. Could someone come out and put up the orange fence
The location looks like a junkyard a lot of junk on the outside of the house
Could the city place a garbage can near the chocolate moose or require them to have one? People buy ice cream and go to the benches a bit north of there. There is no trash can nearby so people just leave their sticky trash on the bench or the ground. The melting ice cream attracts bugs. Thanks.
I walk downtown early morning and have noticed there is much more trash laying around than normal. There used to be a couple of city workers out every day picking up the trash, but it seems like this is no longer happening.
trash in bloom along roads is bad in a num of places. south patterson, sare road around rinwick. walnut pike from winslow to rohr road. and more. i pick up where i can but cant do it alone. please make this important to the city. bloomington was a beautiful place. its getting overlooked.
somehow trash has been droped along sare road, going south before round abot, and going on south to jackson creek middle school. and onto rohr rd, paper, some garbage, different items.
Failure to pick up Trash. I am incredibly disappointed in the city's handling of trash today as we switch to the new system of trash pick up. Nowhere in the handouts given to us about the new system did it say that we can not start using the new bins right away but then today as you drive all over Bloomington all you can see is full cans of trash with a "notice" that the trash was not picked up because it should have been set out in the old way with trash tags and such. This is infuriating. Now we all have to keep our festering, rotting garbage for another week because it was NEVER stated that this couldn't be done immediately. Even your own website simply states: "The new modernized system will formally go into operation beginning on October 2, 2017." This message does not at all clearly say that we have to wait until then to use the new bins. If anything it just makes it seem like it may take that long to get everyone bins and set up properly. Also, and maybe the most maddening part was the fact that when the new recycling bins were used THE RECYCLING WASN'T PICKED UP EITHER. What possible excuse is there for this? We don't even pay for recycling, it's not like the trash where, apparently, if you took it today it was for free. Now we have to wait TWO WEEKS for recycling for literally no reason. Maybe next time you will have learned how to make things clear so that the city isn't literally overflowing with garbage. Your very disappointed resident, Alyssa Ball
We replaced counter tops and sink in remodeling our kitchen. I can haul the old formica counter tops to the dump...or wherever...where do I go? I am assuming there is a charge by weight of the refuse. Thanks, jim
