trash, containers not pulled up from curb
A full bag of trash was emptied along the south side B-Line this morning. This occurred on the west side of the trail between light posts 11-12 or so and is going directly into the creek. There have been bags and piles of trash left along the trail. If City employees are monitoring the trail for trash, please ensure they are diligently visiting the south end of the B-Line as it gets a lot of discarded waste. Additionally, the camp just south of the Switchyard Dog Park has basically become a landfill, currently inches deep in trash and waste.
tractors, discarded vehicles, lots of trash mostly on south side of street (although the north side has some, too.) caller would like to know what can be done about it.
Trash/recycling not picked up today (scheduled day)
Trash is all over the yard and blowing throughout the neighborhood.
This morning I was bringing my bins up from the curb and this was the state of my garbage can. The handle on my recycling bin was also broken a few weeks ago. It is still in functional condition. Is it possible to get a replacements for the bins? Thank you
Trash continues to accumulate outside trash containers on the property and blow into street and neighborhood. Accumulation of trash bags and random debris is a violation of Bloomington Trash and Recycling ordinance: "Accumulated trash is unsanitary and attracts rats and other animals. Properties with accumulations of trash or scattered litter or debris may be issued a Notice of Violation with fines of up to $150."
There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.
