Sorry, I was traveling and my husband forgot to take out the trash because I always do it. Would there be any possibility of them picking it up? thank you

Trash was not picked up today (recycle was), likely because avenue was blocked by house renovators' trucks at 1009 Greenwood. Will trash on Greenwood Ave be picked up this week?

Observed city sanitation personnel leaving trash in their wake as they did the weekly collection. I had guessed this was happening, but finally saw with my own eyes. Often they leave the emptied bins in lanes of travel as well, when the bins were not set in the road. FYI - just hoping this can be improved so our neighborhood is free of litter.

I found my trash can like this after this morning's pickup. My guess is that it was replaced too close to (or partially in) the road after pickup and it was struck by a vehicle. I also noticed another bin on my block with this same kind of damage.

6:05am Weds 11/29: City sanitation truck driving south on S Woodlawn at Bryan Park (going to collect trash from park receptacle at Woodlawn and Sheridan) completely ignored stop sign on S Woodlawn. I’ve seen a number of pedestrians nearly get hit by cars that treat stop signs as optional. It’s dismaying to see a city owned vehicle contributing to that dangerous trend.

Not sure which category this falls under. Eight (!) trash bins are lying on the sidewalk (south side of Cottage Grove, just east of Walnut), completely blocking pedestrian traffic. It isn't really a busy street and it's one-way so not a huge problem for most people who can step around them off the curb into the street, but people in wheelchairs or with strollers would not be able to navigate the area.

I was visiting Crumble Bakery in downtown Bloomington and was informed that they do not recycle because the City of Bloomington does not collect recycling from restaurants and other food service places in the city. In a community that cares so much about our people, I want to see our community expand to care about our peoples health and the area that our people live in. One of these ways to take care of our people and the place we live is to recycle materials. Recycling materials are not difficult to separate with simple training or charts to follow directions.

Hello - Our (full) recycling bin was stolen last night. A neighbor spotted a woman hauling a recycling bin down the street around 1am Monday morning, so we are guessing that was ours. We've just sent a note around to our neighborhood listserve asking if anyone has spotted a spare one around their house. So I'm wondering if you can let us know what identifying numbers are on the bin assigned to our house. And, if ours isn't found, how do we go about getting a replacement?
