Failure to pick up Trash. I am incredibly disappointed in the city's handling of trash today as we switch to the new system of trash pick up. Nowhere in the handouts given to us about the new system did it say that we can not start using the new bins right away but then today as you drive all over Bloomington all you can see is full cans of trash with a "notice" that the trash was not picked up because it should have been set out in the old way with trash tags and such. This is infuriating. Now we all have to keep our festering, rotting garbage for another week because it was NEVER stated that this couldn't be done immediately. Even your own website simply states: "The new modernized system will formally go into operation beginning on October 2, 2017." This message does not at all clearly say that we have to wait until then to use the new bins. If anything it just makes it seem like it may take that long to get everyone bins and set up properly. Also, and maybe the most maddening part was the fact that when the new recycling bins were used THE RECYCLING WASN'T PICKED UP EITHER. What possible excuse is there for this? We don't even pay for recycling, it's not like the trash where, apparently, if you took it today it was for free. Now we have to wait TWO WEEKS for recycling for literally no reason. Maybe next time you will have learned how to make things clear so that the city isn't literally overflowing with garbage. Your very disappointed resident, Alyssa Ball

The stream in the middle of the boulevard on East Sheridan Drive 47401, between Hawthorne and Manor: bushes, trees, and weeds have been allowed to grow so thick and tall it is blocking the view of traffic. This all needs to be cut down and then kept down every year.

I live in a single-family house--807 W 6th and ordered two small trash cans; came home to find four large. Need these removed and the correct trash cans delivered. Also need a way to double-check that I am not being charged for two large trash pickups per week, so will need a method to check this.

Garbage buildup at 1221 Green Tree Lane at the back of the house by the shed. Ive reported this before and they just move the garbage from side of house to back so it couldn't be seen.

The pavement on Washington Street behind the recently completed Chocolate Moose Building is in really bad shape. It is kind of filled in but not level with old pavement and has lots of gashes in it. The bike lane there is especially bad. The new pavement south of 2nd street is great, especially where the cars are on the left side.

Weeds have grown out of control. Have not been maintained since the house was moved out of. The door has been hanging wide open for a couple of weeks and we fear that it will start becoming a squatting location.
