Trash

called Rhea in Sanitation, transferred to us; KL area, called to complain two weeks ago, nobody entered complaint, trash from bins left out, spreading throughout neighborhood
Homeless encampments all along the Rail Trail are covering the natural area in garbage and poisoning the creek with waste.
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."
Trash is all over the yard and blowing throughout the neighborhood.
trash not picked up b/c overflowing container, trash scattering through neighborhood
trash, containers not pulled up from curb
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.
