City of Bloomington, MN / Sustainability

Staff and the Sustainability Commission sought community feedback in April 2021 on a proposed plan for handling bulky items in Bloomington in a more sustainable way. Over 1,400 residents provided feedback in a survey and 60 attended a Community Listening Session. Since April, we have reviewed the feedback, conducted additional research and developed a new proposal to incorporate what we heard. This Community Listening Session provided opportunity for residents to learn about the updated proposal for sustainable bulky item management in Bloomington and provide feedback.
