When walking southbound on the Jackson Creek Trail, just south of Winslow, there are a couple houses up on the hill to the left (located on Linden Hill Drive, or maybe Ashwood?) where various items have washed down into the ravine from backyards. This includes stairs, and what looks like portions of small decks. This is particularly noticeable now that the trees are bare. The homeowners should really be asked to clean this up, and prevent these objects from ending up the creek.

On Thursday 3/11, the homeowner's recycling bin blew over and trash fell out. The neighbor has left the trash in their driveway and yard since thursday. Much of it's now gone as it's blowing into other people's yards.

Trash and recycling containers are constantly being left on side of Rogers Street (and on sidewalk) days after collection.

This homeowner takes out her trash and recycling carts on Sunday and places them near the sidewalk. Our neighborhood does not get picked up until Thursday mornings. For 4 days, the neighbors have to look at that eye sore and when it's windy, the cans tip over and debris blows around everywhere. This person should take out their cans on Wednesday evenings like everyone else does. Thank you.

This trash container, on the west side of S Covey Lane, in Front of the Life Designs duplexes, has been on the side of the road for several weeks. Not sure if the person moved or if they have just stopped bringing it back after pickup.

This is the back of BDLC. Their address is 1807 S Highland Ave but the problem area is in the back on Covey Lane. A television and wood pallets have been sitting next to the dumpster for nearly a year. Recently a plastic slide has been added to the mess. I would appreciate it being removed as it is an eyesore.

I live on West Ezekiel Drive in Bloomington, which is part of the Summit Woods HOA. I've owned my home at this address for over three years, long before the rest of the neighborhood was developed. Since the neighborhood has filled in, the townhouses on my street have not been served by Bloomington city trash or recycling, leaving residents and nearby students in an apartment complex to pile trash in two hastily placed dumpsters in the drive behind our row of homes. As of tonight, the dumpsters are, once again, overflowing with trash, with full trash bags and loose trash blowing around our back yards and flocks of black birds feeding on the scraps. I have three children who often play outside, and several of my neighbors also have young children as well. Not only is this situation an on-going eyesore, but it is also dangerous and a sanitation risk for residents and families in the neighborhood. The city of Bloomington has told us that since this is a private street, there is nothing they can do to help. I’m writing to ask if you will help us address this immediate mess and also help us find a long-term solution to this perpetual problem. All of the homeowners on this street pay thousands of dollars in HOA fees every year only to see our street overrun with trash, which, ultimately, will depress property values and/or resale potentials. This situation is unacceptable and I'm hoping you to help us hold the HOA accountable and also help us find a new, more reliable and sanitary solution for the dumpsters. Every other house in our development has curb-side trash and recycling, including units literally across the street from us. I have reached out to Summit Woods HOA numerous times and they have never returned my calls or emails. Thank you so much for your help. You're welcome to call or email me if you have further questions. Richard Barnett scbarnet@indiana.edu 919-559-6282
