large piles of trash and recycling in yard
large piles of trash and recycling in yard
Next to my townhouse there is a furniture store. My front door faces their parking lot. There is a tree line- it is unclear who's property it is. A group of transient people have been living in the tree line. I don't believe they reside there currently but the mess left behind is so huge that I can't even let my children play outside. There is constant debris blowing, and I am concerned that they will wander toward the trees where there is just a TON of trash and things that I am positive are a biohazard.
There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.
Trash continues to accumulate outside trash containers on the property and blow into street and neighborhood. Accumulation of trash bags and random debris is a violation of Bloomington Trash and Recycling ordinance: "Accumulated trash is unsanitary and attracts rats and other animals. Properties with accumulations of trash or scattered litter or debris may be issued a Notice of Violation with fines of up to $150."
Lazy neighbors. What a great home my teenager has. Seeing entitled white Men like this neighbor with a fat retirement from military which has created a lazy entitled self- centered person. Why not put it in your car trunk 10 feet away?????????
Recycling bins filled with overflowing trash sitting by the curb, again. Pick up day is Tuesday. Your staff needs to communicate better with renters because they don't seem to understand this from past complaints and investigations. Don't close the case until you actually get compliance.
Trash can set down in middle of driveway, trash can dumped over in middle of road. This happens more often than not.
Two trash bins and a recycle were in front of my house blocking the sidewalk this morning (Wednesday). The bins are not mine. I moved them in front of 717 S. Park because I'm guessing that they belong there, but I'm not sure. The residents left town Sunday, our pickup day was Monday.
Trash has not been picked up on the 2100 block of Wimbleton Ln
There was a homeless camp in the woods by Clear Creek at the end of Pinewood Drive. The people have moved on, as all their tents have been removed. However, there is a lot of remaining trash. Is it possible to have sanitation clean up this area? Please let me know if I need to contact someone else for this request. Thank you!
