Couch left in front of 817 N. Washington St., plus piles of garbage already ripped open by raccoons alongside house. These items have been here for a couple of weeks and it appears that the tenants have moved out for the summer. I have photos of both but it appears it will only let me upload one, so I chose garbage. Couch is clearly visible to the street.
As of 5/8/17 one full garbage can remains uncollected from this Orion properties rental. This uncovered can has been on the street for at least 3 weeks and the collection crews continue to pass it by. Last week the garbage bags that were laying by the street were collected, but the full can was left. No action taken by the city for 3+ weeks. From the city website: "Do not place containers out more than 24 hours in advance and remove them from the curb on the same day as pick up. A violation may result in a fine up to $50. Each day a violation continues is a separate violation." This means Orion properties should be fined in excess of $1050.00.
On this page of the City of Bloomington Website (http://bloomington.in.gov/sanitationmodernization) I find conflicting references to the size of the recycling cart that will be issued to residents. See the quoted texts below. B. Recycling Operations • Weekly service: Recycling pickup will become a weekly pickup service on a designated day for each household. • Carts provided: Each household will receive a 64 gallon cart for recycling collection as a default. If desired, customers can also request either larger or smaller carts for recycling instead. Carts will be made of recycled content and containers that are currently being used will be picked up and recycled if the resident chooses. **Note: Households receive a 64 gallon cart. **Later it states...under the FAQs... How many carts will I get? Two carts will be provided per household, one for regular solid waste and one for all recycling. Again, customers will choose the size of their solid waste container. Customers will receive a 96 gallon recycling cart (or may request a smaller sized one), which will be collected for weekly single stream recycling. Households (customers) receive a 96 gallon cart. **My question is about which size recycling cart will people actually receive? I know I can request a smaller recycling cart, but which size are you actually planning to give households by default?
The people at 1317 W 6th St have a mountain of garbage building up in their front (and back?) yard. It smells and needs to be removed. This has been a continual problem with these residents.
Hi there! I'm getting ready to move to Bloomington and I was trying to find my trash collection day. I used your online tool, but it said it wasn't available for my address. Could you let me know what the trash pick up day is for 337 S. Maple Street? Thanks so much!
Orion properties has left the garbage can on the curb for another full week. Who should these problems be reported to? This reporting platform is ineffective.
I'm contacting you because this morning at my residence, 213 N Grant St, we received a notice of violation for BMC 6.04.070. Before seeing this notice on our front door, my roommate found that someone had ripped open our trash bags and left that trash all over our yard. This is by far from the first time this has happened. Since August, we have had issues with people ripping open our trash. These people have become comfortable enough to leave their own trash in our yard, even including used needles. This situation has gotten out of hand. On this occasion they ripped open separate bags inside our trash bags that contained trash from our bathroom, leaving used feminine products strewn across our yard. The comment on our notice said to remove all trash from our yard. My roommates and I in between classes today, have been picking up this trash all morning. We will be contacting other departments because this issue of trespassing on our property has gotten out of hand, even after contacting law enforcement. I wanted to bring it to this department's attention that our house is not causing this mess.
If my trash is now considered a utility why are the containers not on display on Miller Drive? This is where the form needs to be returned to. Is it that hard to have them on display where the homeowner needs to return the form. And, parking is much simpler at that location.
I have been unable to get through to Sanitation, so I am using this source to ask 2 questions. How many gallons do the current trash cans hold? I'm asking about the cans which the city now limits in size. Will I be able to change to a different size should my guess about what my needs will be under the new system? Max Skirvin
Armchair left on the sidewalk, soaked in rain for last several days so I don't think anyone wants it.
