Trash container not emptied, also our neighbors was not
Trash container not emptied, also our neighbors was not
Not sure why my trash was not picked up yesterday (Thursday). My recycling was collected, but not two bags of trash (with stickers showing clearly). I guess I can put them in my garage until next Wednesday night, but if there was a problem with the trash that kept it from being picked up, I would like to know what that problem was.
I do not see a way on the website to give feedback so I am using this form. I would ask that you forward the information to the Sanitation Department. I was reading the proposed changes to the trash pick-up at https://bloomington.in.gov/sanitationmodernization. It states that the new rates would be $6-$18/month. This penalizes families who work hard to reduce waste. For the past decade or more we have averaged fewer than 8-10 bags of garbage a year. You are proposing that I now start paying a monthly fee whether I put out garbage or not. I will not belabor the point, but you are asking me to go from paying $16/year to, at best, $72/year. This would not appear to incent conservation in any way.
Lack of garbage pick up today on Coriander CT
Trash in my neighborhood (Clifton, Hunter, 2nd St., Eastside, etc.) was not picked up today, Monday, including my trash. I hope it will it be picked up.
Miss Picking Trash and Recycle
No trash picked up today for me or my neighbors in the 700 block of South Park Avenue. Recycles were picked up, though, so apparently this is not some obscure holiday?
The city's garbage and recycling trucks are tearing up the circular median between 500 and 501 South Arbutus because they are too large to turn around in the cul-de-sac. I have reported this issue several times. I can arrange with the other residents of our street to put all of our garbage and recycling bins on either the east or west side of the street (whichever is preferred by the truck drivers) to make this easier so that they can back in or back out of the street rather than trying to turn around. Please let me know if you would like for us to do this.
the wheel is off of my trashcan
This morning when the recycling crew picked up they knocked over our trash can and left it! Trash all over the road, driveway, and in the yard. Do better people and be considerate, knock it over...pick it up!!
