Hello, this is the second week in a row that my trash bin has not been picked up. Can you please let me know what the problem is? The lid is closed so it’s not overflowing. Thank you very much. I’m getting concerned.

Bloomington Sanitation Department,
At 3 AM of Wednesday, August 8, 2020 on the morning of trash pickup day at 1412 S. Winfield Rd., 47401, my wife was up watching a recorded news program when a crash was heard from the bottom of our driveway where the cans awaited pickup. The bang was followed by a loud dragging sound. She walked to the bottom of the drive and found the landscaping can in the recycling can were gone.
She woke me and we searched for the cans until we found them three doors south on the Boulevard of the Southwest corner of the Moores Pike roundabout.
At first I thought at 3 AM, it must've been a drunk. However, the more I thought about it, the more unlikely I thought it would be that a drunk would be able to retain the cans for 50 yards.
Retaining the cans brings me to the question which I thought worth sharing with the city. I cannot think of any way to carry the cans that far without damaging one's vehicle other than the way the city does it – hooking a lifter up under the bar built-into the can.
If a prankster is trying to develop a "trick-or-treat… Throw your garbage in the streets" system, the potential chaos it could create for the city sanitation system seems to me to be huge and I would recommend that the city proactively try to answer the following questions.
1.) Have any of the lifting mechanisms used by the city trucks ever disappeared?
2.) Since this system is presumably used throughout the country, can such a lifter be bought online?
3.) Are there any YouTube videos about how to make a lifter that someone could have been testing on Winfield Road?
4.) Has the company from which the city purchased the cans and lifters had experience with cans being fiddled with when they are sitting ducks beside the road the night before garbage pickup? If so, what did these other municipalities do about it?
I got my cans and my trash back in time to leave it out for pickup, but the next victim might not be so lucky.
Thanks for your attention,
Eric Mjolsnes

Hello - I sent an email to sanitation department Wednesday morning but haven't heard back so trying this route... I live at 1205 S Washington St and our trash can went missing sometime between 1am and 9am early Tuesday morning.
I've sent a note around to the neighborhood email list in hopes that someone will notice a random one abandoned in their yard. But so far no one has. A neighbor thinks he may have heard it traveling north on Lincoln near the intersection of Dodds around 2am).
What's the next step? We don't produce much trash so could likely skip a week of trash pickup if there's a chance it'll be spotted by your tracking equipment elsewhere.
Thanks for your help,
Jenn

Hello, we have not gotten trash collection going on a 4 week in a row. The recycling gets taken, and the trash is: 1) not overflowing 2)everything is in a trash bag so there’s no loose trash. But it is still untouched week after week. I do not understand the issue and was wondering if we could get told what the issue is and if we can get an alternate pickup day set up to finally get the trash taken. Thanks!

I found my trash can like this after this morning's pickup. My guess is that it was replaced too close to (or partially in) the road after pickup and it was struck by a vehicle. I also noticed another bin on my block with this same kind of damage.
