Trash

There is a row of storage units immediately to the south of my apartment at Brandon Ct. There is a space between the units and a fence that is supposed to be maintained by Henderson Court. As you can see by the photo (I can provide more), it appears that unhoused people use it as a place to sleep. The area is strewn with trash, and mattress/foundation, and I would suspect that drug activity is or has occurred in the space. Furthermore, several packages have been stolen off of my stoop by occupants of this space. Clearly, this poses a health and safety hazard. I ask that the City investigate the area and assess fines and other sanctions against Granite, the listed property owners or managers. In addition to clean up and possible environmental remediation, I want the area secured in such a fashion that in the future no unhoused people can reoccupy the space. The Department may also need to contact Henderson Court for erection of a fence that denies access for the length of the fence that serves as the property line between Henderson Court and Brandon Court. I would like the City

Subject: Notice and constructive feedback regarding trash collection at the stated address I am writing to report a recent sanitation issue and to constructively suggest a structural change to prevent future occurrences. On 6/17/2026, responsible parties at the stated address did not follow collection guidelines and piled extra bags on top of their full bins. During pickup, the collection crew left one of these excess bags on the ground. Because the bag remained on the curb overnight, local wildlife tore it open. This scattered rotting food waste is now creating a possible health hazard and a severe mess for the neighborhood. Additionally, bins on the street remain at the curb more than 24 hours after collection. To ensure our neighborhood stays clean and safe, I would like to suggest two updates to current practices: * Enforce a strict "Tag and Leave" policy: Instead of leaving a loose bag on the ground where animals can access it, crews could leave the bag inside the bin with an educational warning tag. * Issue reminders for bin removal: Send a neighborhood-wide notice regarding the local ordinance that requires bins to be stored away within 24 hours of collection. *Have a means to take the extra bags and charge extra for the service. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

We were charged over $300 under sanitation for "Large Item Pick up", however, were not responsible for any items that were allegedly picked up. I have tried to get in contact with the sanitation department for the past month with no avail. I would like to get this issue resolved so I am not responsible for the charges or the late fees that could potentially accrue. Please contact me via email as that is my preferred method of communication.

I am requesting an inspection of the property at 1800 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana, where approximately 63 used/discarded tires are currently being stored outdoors on the grassy area behind the automotive repair facility. The tires are being stored uncovered and directly on the ground/grass, with numerous tires positioned open-side-up. Several tires are stacked together while others are scattered individually around the area. Based on their condition and the manner in which they are being stored, I am concerned that these may constitute discarded or waste tires rather than properly stored usable tire inventory. I am particularly concerned about the potential for the tires to collect standing rainwater. The open tires can act as containers for water and potentially create breeding habitat for mosquitoes and other disease vectors. The tire pile is also located immediately adjacent to a wooded/vegetated area and a creek/drainage corridor, which raises additional concerns about rodents, insects, snakes, and other wildlife using the tire pile for shelter or nesting. The accumulation is also located very close to neighboring business property and appears to be immediately adjacent to the creek/drainage area. I am requesting that the City determine whether the storage area complies with the Bloomington UDO provisions governing vehicle-repair uses and outdoor storage of discarded tires/materials, as well as any applicable riparian-buffer, drainage, stormwater, floodplain, or environmental requirements. I am also requesting that the City evaluate whether the manner in which these tires are being stored creates a nuisance, fire hazard, mosquito/vector concern, or other health or environmental concern, and whether the property owner/operator is required to remove, relocate, cover, or otherwise properly manage the tires. I have photographs documenting the current condition and location of the tire accumulation. I am not asking the City to assume that the tires are waste tires; I am requesting that the appropriate department inspect the property and make that determination based on the applicable Bloomington and Indiana requirements. Thank you for investigating this matter.

Hi! The trash can we are renting from the coty seems to have a hole somewhere, because many flies and other bugs have taken it over and are breeding inside it. Please replace it asap. Thank you!! Daniel

Does HAND have any authority to force tenants to remove furniture that sits in the front yard 24/7? This location is just one of multiple rentals in the area that have newly-constructed beer-pong tables littering the yards. Are there any ordinances against such things? There are significantly more of these things popping up this year for some reason.
