Every day after trash and recycling pick-up, there are pieces of trash and recycling all over the road, sidewalk, and yard.

704 S Eastside Drive. The recycling truck driver was flying through our street at break neck speed. They did not take enough time to properly empty our recycling can. There was NO piece of cardboard wedged in there to prevent the items from falling out of the can into the truck once the can was upside down. The result: can on its side when the truck left, half of the contents still in it, plastic strewn in the road and on the sidewalk. An F for this performance.
This morning, sanitation services left the contents of the shared recycling bin of the duplex for addresses 718, 720, and 722 W Kirkwood Ave. all over the curb. I understand that my duplex neighbors before have placed items in the recycling bin that are not recyclable, and I try to remove those as I see them, but dumping what is essentially all of the contents on the sidewalk for me to have to pick up is ridiculous. My neighbors are lazy and will not clean it up themselves, so until I return home from work today, all of that recycling is just going to sit and rot on the sidewalk. Also, no notice was left, so even if they were to go out and see what happened, they would have no clue as to why these things weren't collected. I understand the frustration of people putting legit trash in the recycling bin, it frustrates me too, but there's a level of passive aggression here that is quite unwarranted and is instead resulting in littering by your employees and a genuine inconvenience from me that I can't address in a timely manner, since most people getting into their car for their morning commute don't expect to see their recycling bin dumped on the sidewalk, waiting for them.
600 N. Morton on the corner of the parking lot for city vehicles, there is an abandoned couch just right off the sidewalk. Where the marker is placed according to my screen is precisely where the couch is located.
Three unit apartment building at 203 E 10th seems to need more gray top trash containers so the residents won’t leave bags laying around the sidewalk impeding pedestrians and making a big mess on Washington street which is existing now. Please help if possible. Thanks. Really appreciate this city service towards keeping Bloomington downtown safe and civil!
Trash put out Wednesday for Thursday pick up still not picked up as of Saturday evening. Leaving it in the street until you pick it ip. It will be over flowed next week. I'm not bring 10 day old garbage into my house until next Thursday. It is not on the curb because the city plows the snow from the cul de sac into my yard which is ok because there is no other place to put it. So I don't have a curb at this time. I'd appreciated a notification if you weren't going to pick up the trash so I could have found a dumpster somewhere. Other neighbors still have their trash cans out. I presume the other gave up, or maybe theirs was picked up.
The trash/recycling crew left most all cans thrown off the sidewalk, into the road on their sides today. This is not normally the case, and it was absolutely NOT weather related. The trucks woke me up three times today. And then I find my trash can only half emptied, with one bag still in it. Either the trucks are malfunctioning, or someone was in a bit of a hurry to get done with the route.
There is a desk sitting on the sidewalk in front of this house, it's been there for months.
There’s an abandoned mattress on the sidewalk of S. Walnut St just south of 1st St.
Hello, the pictured trash can was placed in my driveway at 514 S Grant St sometime between 9am and 10:30 am this morning. It blocked me from entering my driveway and was extremely heavy to move. I'd like to return it to the proper address, but unsure where it came from. I'm guessing you have a list and can advise on how to return it to the proper address. Since school has started it seems new residents are unsure how to use the city bins. My neighbors on the northwest corner of Grant and University have kept their trashcan blocking the sidewalk for over two weeks now.
