I live at 3500 E Morningside Drive in Bloomington, Indiana. (There are two homes that appear to be at this address. Ours is the light green ranch house with a dark green metal roof.) We have a dark green plastic mailbox by the street. Our mailbox was damaged this morning, 8/9/23, sometime after 6:30am. Our neighbor noticed the damage and notified us this morning at 11:04am. Since today, 8/9/23, is Wednesday, the day that trash and recycling are collected in the Park Ridge neighborhood, we are guessing that the damage was caused accidently by the robotic arm of the sanitation vechicle. We didn't have bins out this morning to empty, but other neighbors did. Here is a link to photos that show the damage that was done to our mailbox: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19_rM2q5K7visO0LR5-6t8QG-fYq8OQia?usp=drive_link . It was scraped on the top, pushed back and to the side, the plastic on the back was broken, etc. We had a box for the Herald-Times newspaper next to the mailbox which was knocked over during this incident, so my husband removed the post from the ground. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of that. I'm hoping someone would be willing to meet with us to see the damage. If after seeing the damage, they agree this could have been done accidently by the robotic arm of the sanitation vehicle, I'm hoping we could be reimbursed for the damage. Thank you for your time and attention to this concern. Please know that we greatly appreciate the weekly sanitation and recycling services provided by the city staff.

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.

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,
