Critical Links & Information

New Single Stream Recycling

Beginning on Monday, May 17, 2010, the City will no longer require residents to separate recycle materials into the two categories of paper and containers.  Residents may place all allowed recycle materials into one or more containers that are 33 gallons or less in capacity and clearly marked as recycle to distinguish these materials from household waste.  Please do not place any plastic bags in the recycle containers.

See the Public Works Department Recycle section for a complete listing of materials that are allowed to be recycled.   If you have any questions, please contact our office at 434-2225 or by e-mail to pubsvs@cityblm.org.

The Bloomington Library Bookmobile shows up at Strawberry and Woodbine every three weeks on Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:15.  You can request books, video, and periodicals on their website and pick them up on the Bookmobile.

The Official Word from the Bloomington Public Service Department

Garbage may be placed out for collection at the curb (NOT in the street) no earlier than 2:00 p.m. on the day prior to scheduled collection, and no later than 6:00 a.m. on the day of the collection. Empty containers must be removed from the curb no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day following collection. Garbage containers can be plastic trash bags, galvanized steel containers, or heavy duty plastic containers.  Containers must NOT exceed 33 gallons in capacity. 



Trash Guidelines
  • Garbage pickup on Mondays (except on Christmas Day and Labor Day)
  • Recycle (paper and glass/plastic) on alternate Mondays. New "Single Stream" recycle policy in effect (Flyer for new procedures.)
  • No trash out before the afternoon before (2 PM)
  • New bulk refuse rules as of December 1, 2009 (Check out Bloomington rules on this!)
  • Landscaping debris is typically picked up on Thursdays.  Put landscaping debris out by the curb the day before.
  • Bulk trash pickup (cabinets, refrigerators, furniture, etc.) is typically every two weeks. Check with city (see website link above) to time when to place the trash out.
  • AVOID putting landscaping debris and bulk trash out on the curb and having it set there for multiple days or an entire week!  This reflects on the overall look of the high-quality profile of our neighborhood. 

For all the details check out the Bloomington Public Service Department's website.
