Fall leaves and the tree seed that falls with the leaves can be used to reforest idle land, no mow zones, and natural areas in Bloomington Parks, other city properties and private properties. This idea can help both the city and private home owners to make a positive use of Fall leaves to complete the urban forest canopy. Mixtures of tree seed and leaves spread in layers on land will produce dense stands of native trees. Please forward this idea to Joanna Sparks, Haskell Smith, Gillian Field, Beth Cote. I am willing to meet with them to discuss the details of how to use Fall leaves and tree seed to expand the urban forest in Bloomington.
Thank you,

I put out two bags of leaves for pickup today, 11/2 during my normal trash pick up. They were not picked up. According to your website, picture attached, during the month of November, today is November 2nd, they are picking up the paper bags weekly. Mine were not picked up. You should not state they will be picked up weekly if they are not going to be picked up. Thanks, Danielle

I live on Woodstock Place, and several of my neighbors have leaf-blown their leaves into great piles along the street. I'm concerned that the street has been narrowed for traffic and that the leaves will be washed down into the sewers and cause backups. There was a yard sign in the yard nearest High Street about no leaf collection this year, but evidently it has been ignored. Can my neighbors be compelled to mulch or collect their leaves before they turn into a slick mess this winter?

Our yard waste was not picked up today, though garbage and recycling were. Can you take care of this? Thank you

Leaves from other properties wash down the hill and covering the sewer drain at the bottom, blocking the path for runoff to enter the drain. A crew had recently come to take care of the blockage, but only removed some of the leaves and poked holes in the remaining pile covering the drain. With a big rainstorm coming soon, and this being a flood-prone area, its unlikely this doesn't result in serious flooding

Please cancel environmentally unnecessary leaf collection and divert funds to much much much needed storm branch debris a few times a year.

Somehow the leaves in front of my house and my neighbors on either side as well as those on Park toward Maxwell were all missed. We had them raked in time but the truck must have just missed this block
