The Bloomington Convenience Center is also open again!

From CityBlm.org:

Citizen Convenience Center

  • The CCC will reopen starting Tuesday, April 7, 2020.
  • Hours (same as pre-closure):
    • Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 7 AM to 2:45 PM
    • Wednesday: 11 AM to 6:45 PM
  • We will be limiting contact between staff and citizens and following CDC guidelines and best practices.
    • Staff will advise users to roll up their windows and show their driver’s license from behind the closed window.
    • There will be one user vehicle per material bin location at a time.
    • Staff does not handle material with their hands, unless absolutely necessary and then only with proper PPE.
    • Equipment is utilized to move material from bins to roll off containers.

Spring Free Curbside Bulk Collection

  • We are delaying the beginning of Spring Free Curbside Bulk Collection from May 1st to Monday, July 6th.
    Collection typically takes about two weeks, and we’ll be providing an area-specific schedule as we get closer to July 6th.

(Good Friday April 10th, the CCC will be closed and there will be no bulk waste pick up due to the holiday)

Outside of Free Spring Bulk Waste Collection, Bloomington Public Works will charge: $25 per bucket for household bulk waste and $100 per bucket for sod, dirt, concrete, rocks and shingles. The 2nd yearly free Fall Bulk Waste Collection will take place in October.

Personally, I LOVE the Bloomington Citizen Convenience Center. I have been there many times to drop off bulk waste (after checking to see what is acceptable), and if you are a resident, there is no additional charge. The Bloomington Citizen Convenience Center is located at the corner of East Street and Jackson Street, south of the Bloomington Public Library.
