Leaves from other properties wash down the hill and covering the sewer drain at the bottom, blocking the path for runoff to enter the drain. A crew had recently come to take care of the blockage, but only removed some of the leaves and poked holes in the remaining pile covering the drain. With a big rainstorm coming soon, and this being a flood-prone area, its unlikely this doesn't result in serious flooding
Our yard waste was not picked up today, though garbage and recycling were. Can you take care of this? Thank you
I live on Woodstock Place, and several of my neighbors have leaf-blown their leaves into great piles along the street. I'm concerned that the street has been narrowed for traffic and that the leaves will be washed down into the sewers and cause backups. There was a yard sign in the yard nearest High Street about no leaf collection this year, but evidently it has been ignored. Can my neighbors be compelled to mulch or collect their leaves before they turn into a slick mess this winter?
I put out two bags of leaves for pickup today, 11/2 during my normal trash pick up. They were not picked up. According to your website, picture attached, during the month of November, today is November 2nd, they are picking up the paper bags weekly. Mine were not picked up. You should not state they will be picked up weekly if they are not going to be picked up. Thanks, Danielle
Fall leaves and the tree seed that falls with the leaves can be used to reforest idle land, no mow zones, and natural areas in Bloomington Parks, other city properties and private properties. This idea can help both the city and private home owners to make a positive use of Fall leaves to complete the urban forest canopy. Mixtures of tree seed and leaves spread in layers on land will produce dense stands of native trees. Please forward this idea to Joanna Sparks, Haskell Smith, Gillian Field, Beth Cote. I am willing to meet with them to discuss the details of how to use Fall leaves and tree seed to expand the urban forest in Bloomington. Thank you, Ray Major Forester Trees From Seed on Facebook
For many years we have been putting out yard waste bags for pickup on designated. Never was there a problem. That is, until about six weeks ago. The excuse given was that the materials were against the house. That was not true. This Wednesday, today, we put two yard waste bags put placing them in front of our recycling and trash bins. They are (present tense because the bags were not taken) clearly visible. In fact, the recycling personnel had to reach around the waste bags to retrieve the bin to empty. Why the awful service the past few weeks?? Our adjacent neighbor, who is caring for an ailing spouse, did not have hers picked up either. Granted hers is not totally visible. But it is in a spot where their bags usually have been placed. Please resume the fine service you offered until six weeks ago.
Leaves and trash clutter North Adams Street near the Indiana Railroad Tressel. The leaves on West 8th Street are a safety hazard.
most, or all of the storm drains on this street are completely full, up to street level, of dead leaves.
The leaf collection crew left a rake in our yard. It is leaning against our mailbox at 933 S Meadowbrook Dr. Please have them pick it up. Thanks.
I am an Adopt a Storm Drain volunteer for Queensway from High to Montclair and Sussex Dr. I have cleared leaves from drains numerous times this fall. I have cleared the drain at the SW corner of Queensway and Chelsey Ct several times this fall including raking leaves of Queensway for about four houses west of the drain onto the city easement. Today December 15, 2021 I cleared the drains because of an approaching rain event. The property owner nearest the drain on the south side of Queensway has raked not only the leaves that I had raked onto the easement last week but their entire yard into Queensway, blocking the drain completely. I suspect they will once again rake them into the street. This is one of the stormwater lines/creeks that results in flooding south along Rock Creek. Can the city take action and remove the leaves?
