The Solid Waste District hours are terrible. I was just turned away at 5:34pm as were a bunch of others (cars lined up behind me trying to leave the lot, so they expected it to be open too). If the hours were friendly to the people trying to recycle they would be open MORE on the weekends, not less. And they would be open MORE after 5pm, not open during 9-5. Unless you're trying to pick up recycling primarily from servers and bartenders, these hours do not make sense.

When trash and recycling is picked up on my street (S. Washington), sanitation employees throw the empty cans and bins back down, which is both very loud early in the morning and had resulted in damage to my trash cans and bins. Monday mornings, the sidewalks of S. Washington are strewn with the cans and bins that have been tossed (rather than set) back on the sidewalk.

My recycling wasn't picked up today although it is on the schedule to be and all of my neighbors had theirs removed. No notes were left with it, it was sorted, etc.

Meadowcreek and Steeplechase apartments do not provide any recycling. Can you please mandate that they add recycling options to their residents. They need to add more trash dumpsters as their is only one in Meadowcreek. How is that legal? It's overflowing and smelly every time I take my trash there. They need to provide a dumpster for recycling as well.

Does the City not recycle newspaper any more? Most of my recycling materials were picked up early this morning, but I was puzzled to find that the newspapers were left in the bottom of the bin. I finally went out about 1pm and brought them back inside. Should I not put my newspapers out anymore?

I was visiting Crumble Bakery in downtown Bloomington and was informed that they do not recycle because the City of Bloomington does not collect recycling from restaurants and other food service places in the city. In a community that cares so much about our people, I want to see our community expand to care about our peoples health and the area that our people live in. One of these ways to take care of our people and the place we live is to recycle materials. Recycling materials are not difficult to separate with simple training or charts to follow directions.

Hello - Our (full) recycling bin was stolen last night. A neighbor spotted a woman hauling a recycling bin down the street around 1am Monday morning, so we are guessing that was ours. We've just sent a note around to our neighborhood listserve asking if anyone has spotted a spare one around their house. So I'm wondering if you can let us know what identifying numbers are on the bin assigned to our house. And, if ours isn't found, how do we go about getting a replacement?
