Per EPA Tip or Complaint: My neighbor at 1650 W 8th Street in Bloomington, Indiana is constantly dumping his trash in his own yard. It then proceeds to blow into my yard from wind. If you check the public record of complaints against this property you will see this has been going on for literally years. Cops and local authorities(Housing and Neighborhood Development) only ever fine the tenants, and I'm getting tired of this blatant violation/ disrespect for the environment and neighbors.

We are in city limits and these people are throwing trash in their yard and burning it with large plastic containers. My son has asthma and the smoke will come inside our house. I am requesting that these people please pickup this trash and dispose of it properly.

I am reporting this property for the SECOND time. Nothing has changed - it has gotten worse. When reported previously, Jo Stong's response was, "Well, I drove by and didn't see anything that couldn't be outside." How ridiculous. This is NOT how the city ordinance qualifies debris. Ordinance 6.06.020 - Deposit of Garbage reads, "It is unlawful for any person to throw, place, or scatter any garbage, recyclable materials, or yard waste over or upon any premises, street, alley, either public or private, or to suffer or permit any garbage, recyclable materials or yard waste to be placed or deposited on the premises owned, occupied, or controlled by such person either with or without the intent to LATER REMOVE, COVER, OR BURN IT. Also, we know that there is an ordinance regarding construction debris. The fact is this home, which is zoned "single family home" is being used for storage only. If I read it correctly, there are no utilities currently turned on to the house. I own property in this area and I expect HAND to inform city ordinances just like they would in Hyde Park. It is not right that HAND allows blight to ruin the well-being and property rights of others.
