Trash on porch of residence
Trash on porch of residence
We have an issue where either our trash cans have been stolen or misplaced both the regular trash can and the recycling are missing from our property.
Trash bags on property for a while. Bags are starting to be torn open and scattered.
Residents at this house have left beer cans and solo cups scattered in the yard among other trash. It’s been blowing away into the alley ways. On top of that as well, they have an improperly stored trash bin in the road which has been tipped over and is actively spilling into the road. They also put up caution tape around their yard which has come loose and has also blown into the road as well. All of this is in their back yard which is facing me. I live at 415 S Grant St. I would really appreciate if someone came out to check it out and either clean it up or tell the residence to clean it up, I really care about the local environment and I’ve noticed small animals eating out of the garbage.
Not the best trash service this morning. I put nothing at the curb last night and this morning the alley is blocked by uncollected trash. The garbage container at far right belongs at 717 S Park and has been at the curb for more than a week now. The others belong across the street at 716 and are regularly retrieved.
Two days after trash pickup bins are still on the sidewalk (one has been on the sidewalk over a week)
This bin has been on the curb for more than three weeks now
Trash container still on curb Friday after Monday pickup
A tall plywood fence is being installed between the houses at 1000 and 1002 East Atwater in order to provide an area for drinking/partying. These "fence" panels are removed and stored during city business hours on the deck adjoining the house at 1002 East Atwater. These are the dates the fence has appeared: 8/23, 8/24, 8/25, 8/26 8/31, 9/2, 9/3, 9/4, 9/8, 9/9, 9/14, 9/15. In addition to hiding large crowds of kids drinking, the party area draws increased traffic, trash, noise and the possibility of the "fence" falling and injuring someone. In spite of the fact that the property owner and tenants have been notified that the fence is not allowed it is repeatedly put up and removed to facilitate crowds and loud parties. Would the city please take some action to prevent this from continuing?
This "temporary" fence has gone up every weekend since the end of August 2017, and the photo here is from today (Sat.Sept.16). It is held up by begs of sand or concrete(?), and pails with cinderblocks on them. The fence is made of plywood boards not attached to each other but resting on the aforesaid "supports". As the boards are large and heavy, it is likely they could hurt someone should they tip over during one of the many loud parties the fence enables.The fence also enables the partiers to avoid being seen by the police when passing by looking for the source of the loud parties and allows the partiers to espy the police cars coming to shut down their parties. Please inform the occupants of the house that they should not erect this fence, not only for the danger to passersby and to themselves, but because they requested permission to build such a fence from the Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission in June 2017 and permission was refused.
