City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Can't Fix #136003

Fire Hazards:

Other: My next door neighbor, Carl James, (at 703 W. 7th Street) burns trash and plastic and Styrofoam in his wood stove. The smoke is heavy, black and acrid. It is polluting the air. I think there must be regulations against burning trash like this. We have asked him not to do this and explained to him that it creates toxins in the air. A group of neighbors chipped in and bought him two ricks of wood recently, but his son took most of it and resold it. We do not know what else to do. Can someone from the City talk to him about this? Thank you.

Contacted Ms. Stanfield & explained that the city has no authority to prohibit burning of trash inside a residence. Sent links to IDEM about burning & complaint form.
