The Avenue throws their recycling into the trash can. However they label it as recycling! This isn’t good for the environment or the general public

Disappointing that all my recycling wasn't emptied. I have put the container back in my garage. I have several bags of shredded paper to recycle. It appears that they were lifted out and all recycling not taken. I will have bags of shredded paper in w my other recycling over the next several weeks.I was looking for options below and it wouldn't let me delete the one indicated. No message was left.
Pardon my candor, but Bloomington utilities is a joke. They are obviously very understaffed. The phone recording has been the same since before Christmas. They are constantly missing recycling pickups. This office needs a major overhaul. We pay more than enough taxes to cover this basic utilities service.
All kinds of shredded paper on the ground at my house, directly in front of the recycling bin. Sloppy job this morning, PEOPLE putting the recycling in the truck works much better. I have to clean up almost every week after your trucks come through. Is there someone with whom I can speak?
Recycling was not picked up today at 4001 e Providence ct Bloomington, IN. Our bin was out and spaced appropriately and neighbors had theirs picked up but we were skipped. Can we please get this picked up? Our bin is full and already have more recycling needing put into the canister before next week (1/4/22) pickup.
Recycle Bin not emptied!
704 S Eastside Drive. The recycling truck driver was flying through our street at break neck speed. They did not take enough time to properly empty our recycling can. There was NO piece of cardboard wedged in there to prevent the items from falling out of the can into the truck once the can was upside down. The result: can on its side when the truck left, half of the contents still in it, plastic strewn in the road and on the sidewalk. An F for this performance.
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.
Although my trash was taken my recycling was left Tuesday morning. There was no indication or notice sticker as to why.
Last week our recycling was no picked up, we followed all guidelines and saw that everyone else on our street also did not get theirs picked up either, now today they have not come by to pick anything up, I’m not sure if they’re just running late or if this will be a continuous problem
