Bloomington Fights Mounting Junk Problem

There's a lot of junk on the curb in Bloomington, and the city isn't touching it until the fall.  Bloomington Public Works Director Jim Karch on Wednesday told city leaders that his office has sent notices to 550 homes with junk on the curb.  Bloomington ended its every-other-week junk collection back in February and the city won't be around to haul stuff off until October.  Karch says people can haul the stuff to the dump themselves, or pay for the city to do it for them.
