Tenants (over-occupied, BTW) have left bags of trash in yard. Wild animals can dig through them.

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.

They leave trash like this every single week, even after having a dumpster twice now. This week when the trash ran, they put out so much that the bin was overflowing & they just started putting bags on the ground. The gentleman obviously only emptied the can & they just let them lay there. Someone eventually put a few in the can & today they finally went out and put the orange bag in the bin. As you can see by the photo attached, the lid still will not close and they leave it sitting there like that until trash runs again. Most of the time the bags are not completely tied off leaving debris to go all around the area, which is more problematic during days like today with the storms & extreme wind. It is now drawing vermin galore all over the place. The few times they have taken the trashcan back down closer to the house they still leave it overflowing like that instead of putting it in garage until trash day, resulting in the exact same issues, & on warmer days we also get to enjoy the smell. I’m obviously not aware of all the rules & guidelines, but we would certainly appreciate if something could be done about this.

Again this has been out since trash ran Tuesday morning. They just picked up the orange bag today & continue to add trash to it. With the storms and wind the debris is worse than normal, but they simply refuse to move the trash can or at least the overflowing bin it in the garage until trash day to reduce the mess & pests getting into it.

Trash from dumpster and donations left are littered throughout property and along Diamond Ave., W. Cottage Grove, Morevac Way and B-Line trail. The dumpster needs to be removed, contained or relocated. If the sources of litter are better managed the city wouldn’t appear so trashy. Homeowners and businesses need to be held accountable for the trash in our city generated from their properties. We should strive to do better. Maybe the next administration will take charge and help us get back to the beautiful Bloomington we used to have.

See issue #182770. They just ripped down the citation and left the trash bin on the sidewalk and the bags full of garbage littering the yard. What good is a citation if there is no way to follow up with a fine? These are students who will likely be moving out in a couple months.

Trash cans are left in the sidewalk all week making it difficult for those in wheel chairs to make it up the sidewalk.

Trash is routinely thrown out front door onto sidewalk. Woman routinely breaks glass and throws objects into street. Trash often remains for days before any cleanup occurs. The address is 617 N. Monroe. This happens throughout the day and night. Often items are thrown into neighbors properties. This situation needs to be addressed by authorities and the rental property owners and management. Situation has been constant since woman moved into home. A directory of rental properties needs to be available for neighbors to report directly to property managers and report ongoing issues. If legitimate complaints are not resolved, citations need to be issued by the proper government agencies.
