Question: Does any of the solid waste generated in Bloomington go to landfills out of town / out of county? Also, are there are plans for a methane-to-natural gas plant like the one I read about in an HT article on October 4?
We live at 806 W. 4th St., in Bloomington. Today, Tuesday, July 10 was our normal trash pick-up day, and also the day for yard waste pickup, according to Bloomington Sanitation's "yard waste collection schedule." We have two 35 gallon bins filled with yard waste waiting at the curb in front of our house. They are properly packaged, and under the 40 pound limit. While our garbage and recycle bins were collected, these yard waste bins were ignored, (although they have been collected on past dates) No note was left by the Sanitation Dept. workers. We appreciate this service, and don't mind the collection fee, but we were missed today.
My garbage and recycling was just dumped into the same truck. I live on Spicewood Lane and saw this at 10:25 Aug. 1 Is my recycling being reycycled?
Just a question: I can't find a definition of "yard waste" on the site. Is it strictly grass clippings and leaves and other yard waste or can I include other compostable items from the kitchen - banana peels, apple cores, etc? thanks,
905 W 6th St Bloomington, IN 47404 Hello, with the rain this past weekend, I was surprised that both of my containers, waste and recycling, had several inches of water in them. Apparently the lids do not close securely allowing rain to enter which deteriorates paper goods and trash if not in plastic.
Sanitation website says all forms of styrofoam and milk cartons (waxy coating) are non-recyclable but our City recycling cart says that both may be recycled. Can you tell me which is correct? Also, the weblink for emailing Sanitation on the sanitation page is broken. Thank you, Perry Metz
I live at 4223 North Kinser Pike. I noticed that my trash cans are gone. Could you please tell me why? Rmyerz22@gmail.com I look forward to your response.
I have 3 old tube TVs - how do I dispose of them? Some of them work and others do not.
I have a large amount of cardboard is it possible to put this with my bins. I understand if there is additional cost. The cardboard can be flattened it is just really large. Thanks for your help!
It appears trash was picked up on Madison but not recycling (or the last of the christmas trees.)
