Other: This morning, sanitation services left the contents of the shared recycling bin of the duplex for addresses 718, 720, and 722 W Kirkwood Ave. all over the curb. I understand that my duplex neighbors before have placed items in the recycling bin that are not recyclable, and I try to remove those as I see them, but dumping what is essentially all of the contents on the sidewalk for me to have to pick up is ridiculous. My neighbors are lazy and will not clean it up themselves, so until I return home from work today, all of that recycling is just going to sit and rot on the sidewalk. Also, no notice was left, so even if they were to go out and see what happened, they would have no clue as to why these things weren't collected. I understand the frustration of people putting legit trash in the recycling bin, it frustrates me too, but there's a level of passive aggression here that is quite unwarranted and is instead resulting in littering by your employees and a genuine inconvenience from me that I can't address in a timely manner, since most people getting into their car for their morning commute don't expect to see their recycling bin dumped on the sidewalk, waiting for them.

Simon, Rhea, I happened to be near this address and spoke to the residents in apartment 720 who were responsible for leaving the mess at the curbside. Sanitation Crews will not pickup items left outside of the provided carts. The residents at 720 and 722 were informed of this, and also informed that two additional recyling carts would be provided at the address. Adam Wason Public Works Director 812-349-3516
Simon, I apologize that this happened. I will address this with the crews immediately. Thank you!
