Excessive trash outside the house. In trash bags.
Excessive trash outside the house. In trash bags.
The tenants left an entire trailer of trash in the empty lot on S Madison and country club Dr. They have been loading up trailers of trash from inside the house for days and this abandoned trailer makes me wonder where everything is being dumped. Trash is falling off the trailer and all over this lot.
Trash and recycling cans permanently left at the curb.

Trash carts left on street more than 24 hours after trash pickup.
This property has accumulated months of trash in front of the residence, from bags of personal trash to full tires. They do not appear to receive city trash removal services and this 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." This attracts pests and is a detriment to the health and safety of the neighborhood.
A full bag of trash was emptied along the south side B-Line this morning. This occurred on the west side of the trail between light posts 11-12 or so and is going directly into the creek. There have been bags and piles of trash left along the trail. If City employees are monitoring the trail for trash, please ensure they are diligently visiting the south end of the B-Line as it gets a lot of discarded waste. Additionally, the camp just south of the Switchyard Dog Park has basically become a landfill, currently inches deep in trash and waste.
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."
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 in the front and side of the house. Has been there for a month.
