Trash receptacle for Edith English at 914 W Graham Dr., Bloomington, IN 47404 She is living at our house right now and we need to know what to do about the trash pickup receptacle. She has not selected one nor does she know how to select one but she is not even living there now. Please advise.
My grass clipping bags are still setting in my drive. Every one else on my street have had their bags picked. What gives?
Late last month I made arrangements to have the city sanitation service pick up two old dehumidifiers this morning. Unfortunately when I got up this morning to set them out, I discovered I had no garbage stickers. (I put my garbage can out only about once every three months so I hadn't noticed). I deeply regret having made this mistake, and hope you will forgive me. I will call the sanitation office to reschedule a pickup in August or September. Thank you.
Regarding the new trash pickup system, what payment arrangements will be in effect for a resident like me who travels a lot for business? I am out of Bloomington for at least 4 months of the year, when I will have no trash for pickup. MMcG
I have been unable to get through to Sanitation, so I am using this source to ask 2 questions. How many gallons do the current trash cans hold? I'm asking about the cans which the city now limits in size. Will I be able to change to a different size should my guess about what my needs will be under the new system? Max Skirvin
Trash in my neighborhood (Clifton, Hunter, 2nd St., Eastside, etc.) was not picked up today, Monday, including my trash. I hope it will it be picked up.
I do not see a way on the website to give feedback so I am using this form. I would ask that you forward the information to the Sanitation Department. I was reading the proposed changes to the trash pick-up at https://bloomington.in.gov/sanitationmodernization. It states that the new rates would be $6-$18/month. This penalizes families who work hard to reduce waste. For the past decade or more we have averaged fewer than 8-10 bags of garbage a year. You are proposing that I now start paying a monthly fee whether I put out garbage or not. I will not belabor the point, but you are asking me to go from paying $16/year to, at best, $72/year. This would not appear to incent conservation in any way.
Not sure why my trash was not picked up yesterday (Thursday). My recycling was collected, but not two bags of trash (with stickers showing clearly). I guess I can put them in my garage until next Wednesday night, but if there was a problem with the trash that kept it from being picked up, I would like to know what that problem was.
