Bloomington residents might need to curb their trash a bit longer this week. Due to dipping temperatures that could freeze more than just your morning dew, the City of Bloomington is hitting the brakes on its usual sanitation schedule. In a move that's all about safety and none about convenience, your bins will be sitting pretty for an extra day.
Confirmed via an announcement on the city's official website, those who typically hear the clattering of cans on a Monday will now count another 24 before the big green trucks rumble down their street. Tuesday will be a new Monday for the trash and recycling collection this week. That domino effect of delays isn't confined to a single day, though. The whole week is taking a collective step back in the dance of refuse removal.
According to a statement from the City of Bloomington, "All sanitation services, including trash and recycling collection, will run on a one-day delay." This readjustment is a safety-first approach in response to some seriously nippy weather that's hitting the region. So while toes are best kept warm inside, the bins will brave the chill until the sanitation teams roll around.
Further information is a call or click away, with direct lines to key contacts like Lazarus Sears, Sanitation Director of Public Works Department, and Desiree DeMolina, Communications Director from the Office of the Mayor.
