trash overflowing containers, city will not pick up, spilling into neighborhood
Trash build up. Sticks. Is a health issue.
Trash overflowing causing it to not be picked up by city for weeks.
I place a dirty furnace filter on top of my bagged trash in my trash cart. The trash collector looked in my cart and left my trash without emptying my container. I realize trash is to be bagged, but what an environmental waste to make me place a furnace filter in a bag!
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.
