Wheel off recycling bin after Thursday morning collection
Wheel off recycling bin after Thursday morning collection
Our entire street was skipped for recycling pickup. Are they coming back to pick up or?
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.
Debris on Hillside Dr: A couple of 4x4 posts on north side of street just east of Huntington; a bag of garbage east of Weatherstone/Olive.
Someone this past weekend dumped a box springs in the middle of Wilson Street between Grant and Palmer. I moved it off the street, but could you send a truck and pick it up?
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 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.
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.
Lack of garbage pick up today on Coriander CT
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.
