Weeds around the trees
Weeds around the trees
We recently moved to this address and have had a lot of boxes and Styrofoam to throw away. Our trashcan is so small, trash and recycle got picked up today and they are both already full again. Is there a place we can go to dump them or can we get a bigger trashcan?
By the warehouse along the Bline: The lack of adequate facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington, combined with all the overgrown vegetation, and potentially the use of the warehouse as a shelter, has resulted in ~ 10 cars being slept in overnight. That part is fine. However, there are no facilities for people to use the restroom, which results in the vegetation (behind the warehouse) and along the Bline being used as a latrine. Can Bloomington please pay attention to the homeless issue and take it seriously? Covid is not going away there must be facilities for people to use the restroom and throw away their rubbish. Currently, it's thrown all over the street on Hillside. Portland built tiny home communities to help with the homeless population, others offer hotel rooms, still other cities provide YMCA-type facilities. Bloomington continues to take this problem seriously and help this critical component of our community! With regard to restrooms in particular, given our current pandemic, safe and sanitary options for human waste are essential. We still do not know whether coronavirus can spread through human feces. Given that we live on karst topology, it is crucial that people aren't pooping outside (never mind walking through it and the horrid smell).
Piles of trash at East side of house
Trash overflowing onto ground from dumpsters on the north and west side of complex.
There is a dumpster in the alley behind Indiana Auto Sales (not sure if it is residential or commerical) that is not up to code for a business in Bloomington (no concrete slap, and no surrounding fence / wall).
Parcel of land to the EAST of 1002 W Pinehurst is overgrown and is part of Southern Pine Common Area.

Property has weeds and foliage that have not been cut for over 3 months and are growing onto Mr. Shields' mailbox. He has reported this before and is concerned that nothing has been done, especially now that his mail carrier is complaining about the growth on the mailbox. Thanks for your help.
