The City of Bloomington 2014 Trash Collection fridge magnet indicates that there would be yard waste collection every other Monday March-December. It gives December 29 as a recycle and yard waste collection date. I was wondering why our yard waste was not picked up today, nor were the 10 bags with leaves at 2020 E Second.
trash along the roads and streets. getting bad. trash trucks are droping trash on the way to recycle, boxes , bags of trash. etc. besised cups bottles and other items. looks bad . bloomington never used to look like that. its a real concern of mine . please we need to take better care of this issue. thanks mr hiestand
Where and when can I take an old large TV for recycling?
The Solid Waste District hours are terrible. I was just turned away at 5:34pm as were a bunch of others (cars lined up behind me trying to leave the lot, so they expected it to be open too). If the hours were friendly to the people trying to recycle they would be open MORE on the weekends, not less. And they would be open MORE after 5pm, not open during 9-5. Unless you're trying to pick up recycling primarily from servers and bartenders, these hours do not make sense.
When trash and recycling is picked up on my street (S. Washington), sanitation employees throw the empty cans and bins back down, which is both very loud early in the morning and had resulted in damage to my trash cans and bins. Monday mornings, the sidewalks of S. Washington are strewn with the cans and bins that have been tossed (rather than set) back on the sidewalk.
The trash cans in the business district, along Kirkwood Ave. stink.
The 500 block of West Kirkwood has a trash container fastened to the #3 bus stop sign on the south side of the street. Folks are good about using it to dispose of their trash. However, the bus stop on the north side of the street is without a trash container---so there's litter all over the grass, curb and sidewalk. I don't know who distributes or cleans these containers, but I'd like to see a trash container attached to the stop sign on the north side of the street in the 500 block of West Kirkwood. This area is part of the BEAD district and should be kept as clean as possible. Thank you! --Chris Paputsas
Closed friday, no information on website, newspaper ANYWHERE on what the rules are for Labor Day pick up, do monday picks up, likely no, city closed, so when, maybe folks who have lived here know, but there is no announcement anywhere I can find about holiday pick up schedules. Harrumph
My recycling wasn't picked up today although it is on the schedule to be and all of my neighbors had theirs removed. No notes were left with it, it was sorted, etc.
