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

Tenant or homeowner has left garbage/refuse by side of the road. Some of the material is bagged, some of it is loose. None of it is in an appropriate receptacle. Some of the debris has spilled over onto the multi-use trail, creating a potential obstacle and/or tripping hazard for pedestrians/cyclists/runners/disabled individuals. Garbage/refuse has been there since at least Saturday morning, 09/17/2022.

A mattress has been sitting on the street outside 1709 Circle Drive for over a week. If anything can be done to encourage the owner to clean up their front yard, that would also be appreciated by local residents.

This house is constantly overflowing with litter and trash. The occupant is apparently a horder, with stuff, mainly used electronics, stuffing into the screened porch and into an abandoned car. He is also something of a recluse, so it's hard to contact him.

Hello, I live at Oakdale Square Apartments. Apartment management had an issue with their trash collection service and it has been weeks since trash is collected. Management added a few more temporary dumpsters but existing dumpsters are full of rotting food/feces and causing terrible health hazards. You can't even drive or walk around the whole complex without getting assaulted by the rotting smell, swarm of flies and maggots everywhere. Can city do anything about it? Thank you! Debra

Trash has not been removed by a trash company from Oakdale Square Apartments in over 4 weeks. The dumpster corrals are overflowing and trash is littering the grounds around the dumpsters. The smell is horrible and there is a concern that this is attracting and encouraging pests. (mice, raccoons, etc.)
