Someone has dumped an old mattress on the sidewalk/street. This is just the latest event in the severe downgrading of the neighborhood to occur since the city has allowed apartment buildings to be constructed in small residential neighborhoods. I am hoping Bloomington Sanitation can remove this trash.
Trash is still not being removed adequately. More rats have been sighted/trapped.
Caller is very concerned about trash in the neighborhood, particularly from the Elkins Apartments at 200-204 E. 16th and Washington between 15th and 16th. He said that he's contacted HAND twice, was told that an inspector would be sent out, but has seen nothing change.
This construction waste has been sitting here for 3 weeks.
1000 & 1002 East Atwater trash 9/5/2017. Photo of construction materials that have been laying in the yard between these 2 houses since October, 2016. The second week of August they were moved behind the dumpster and have remained there spite of repeated requests to clean up the area. I am also questioning why this dumpster is not covered or enclosed on all sides considering the rat problem the neighbors have been experiencing since these properties were purchased by a new owner.
Couch has been sitting on sidewalk for about a month.
We replaced counter tops and sink in remodeling our kitchen. I can haul the old formica counter tops to the dump...or wherever...where do I go? I am assuming there is a charge by weight of the refuse. Thanks, jim
