Trash collectors hit my mailbox
Trash collectors hit my mailbox
when do we get the correct size trash cans?
I requested a smaller trash can a couple months ago and was told in would come in November. I was wondering if it was still in the process if coming or what's up. my address is 3417 S Westminster Way, Bloomington, IN 47401
I live on a corner lot and always bring trash to the "front" for collection. Would it be fine to leave it on the side yard instead since a street is there too for pickup? It's a much shorter drag of the bins there. Thank you.
It would be useful, and I think easier for the sanitation department, to have an online form to request large item pick up, rather than having to call in. I was hoping to have a large item of trash picked up with my regular trash today, Monday. I called this past Friday, not realizing the sanitation department was closed on Fridays. They called me back today (Monday) and left a message. By the time I was able to call back, it was too late for anybody to pick up the item, so I have to wait until next week.
My address is 416.5 North Lincoln Street and because the house is in the middle of the block I have been taking my trash cans to the 9th street driveway for the past year for pickup. My regular pickup day is Monday but because of the holiday it should have happened yesterday and it did not. My cans are still out on the street because I have been wondering if there is a delay due to the holiday. I do not want to be charged extra for a pickup specifically related to my house but I don't want this trash sitting in the sun for the next week and I don't understand why it was not collected yesterday.
Hi, I had a note from the sanitation crew that said my trash was too close too a vehicle (true) and had to be placed on the curb. I live at 419 S Highland Ave. The trash and recycling cans were on the sidewalk, as they always are, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put them closer to the street? Also, they are very close to a car because it's the only place they can be put other than the street or the driveway (which is shared) so I'm not sure what I should do. Also, my yard waste wasn't picked up at all, so I'm in a bit of a quandary. I think very highly of the folks picking up the trash and recycling and want to do whatever I can to make it as easy as possible. I'm just not sure how to do that. Please advise. Thanks very much, Deborah
I would like to file a complaint regarding whomever is picking up our trash and recycling at 422 S. Hawthorne Dr. For the past several months, the sanitation workers have become increasingly careless with throwing empty bins onto our curb, into the middle of our driveway, and even (today) in the middle of the street. While I recognize that the workers are busy, this is a health and safety hazard and we pay too much money in property taxes to receive this sort of inexcusable service. PLEASE ask sanitation workers who pick up trash and recycling on S. Hawthorne Dr. to do their jobs properly and not create more work, let alone health and safety hazards, for residents.
Not sure why my trash was not picked up yesterday (Thursday). My recycling was collected, but not two bags of trash (with stickers showing clearly). I guess I can put them in my garage until next Wednesday night, but if there was a problem with the trash that kept it from being picked up, I would like to know what that problem was.
I do not see a way on the website to give feedback so I am using this form. I would ask that you forward the information to the Sanitation Department. I was reading the proposed changes to the trash pick-up at https://bloomington.in.gov/sanitationmodernization. It states that the new rates would be $6-$18/month. This penalizes families who work hard to reduce waste. For the past decade or more we have averaged fewer than 8-10 bags of garbage a year. You are proposing that I now start paying a monthly fee whether I put out garbage or not. I will not belabor the point, but you are asking me to go from paying $16/year to, at best, $72/year. This would not appear to incent conservation in any way.
