For some reason our recycling is not being picked up. It is not the auto truck given we live in Windermere woods and the truck with staff need to come through the ally. We have had it out 3 weeks (pickup is every week, we thought!) but for whatever reason it is not being emptied. Can someone help me understand what we may be doing wrong? 2602 E Windermere Woods Dr. Thank you.

This empty lot is on North Summit two lots South of 11th. This collection of garbage occurred from a camp during the last several months. The camp has since vacated and has relocated. The same result is sure to occur again unfortunately at a new location. This was reported at the beginning and was told nothing could be done and the neighborhood should work it out. This issue is destroying our city. Regardless of this being a private or city lot or in what area of the city this is taking place someone in city government needs to take ownership and provide the leadership and use of city resources to remedy this issue. Citizens and neighborhood associations can only do so much. Landlords and property owners need to be held accountable. Action needs to be taken. The problem is only getting worse. This case needs to remain active until this situation is resolved. A simple drive by is no solution. It’s obvious that if we cannot take care of the issues on Kirkwood (the focal point of our community) current department leaders are not qualified to continue in their positions. This can be remedied without being harsh or heavy handed. It takes leadership, commitment, communication and perseverance.
Street light is out on corner of Cambridge Dr and Sheffield Dr. This is a school bus stop.
Hello, Bloomington has a safety problem with its homeless population. Our daughter is a senior at IU, she lives off campus, near downtown. She calls me as she walks places because she is afraid of the homeless and their behavior. This afternoon I received a call to tell me two homeless men were walking through their neighborhood, under the influence, and checking doors of homes as they went through the area. The City needs to address this issue to insure its residents are safe.
Our water bill has been very high the last couple months, and we don't have any running toilets or leaking faucets. We think we may have a leak and would like to know what action can be taken to fix that.
Large branch has broken off maple tree at NW corner of 7th and Maple and is hanging precariously. High winds this afternoon and evening could cause it to injure someone. Hard to see in my photo but it is definitely broken off.
Hello - This year I have twice alerted the City to issues with individuals who were still actively receiving uReport cases in the uReport system and listed on the City directory as employees despite having terminated their employment with the City. I would suggest the City look into how it deals with former employee accounts and emails in City systems as it is wild to be that the City does not seem to have controls in place for it. See Case # 181859 and Case # 180664 for the two examples of the City allowing uReports to go sit in inboxes of ex-employees and go unresolved for the concerned citizens of Bloomington reporting issues to the City government. Time to audit the systems and clean this up! Good luck.
I forgot to report this at 10pm last night when I observed it. I have not gone by this morning to see if it is still an issue. But, as of yesterday, S. Rogers Street was a mess from the construction site. It was covered in gravel and mud. It was very dangerous in a car and would likely cause bicycle and motorcycle accidents. They apparently do not have a tire washout station setup because they dragged the mess into the road and made it everyone else's problem.
