Solid Waste Services for Oread Neighborhood

1. Much of the Oread Neighborhood is provided with dumpsters due to the high density of the area and large number of alleys where service is located.  Most of these are serviced twice per week rather than once per week as most residential areas receive.

2. Alley and street right-of-way litter control is provided on most Fridays.  This involves picking up all litter along the alley ways, cleaning out the dumpster enclosures and collection of litter along the streets up to the sidewalks (or hilly slopes which are bordering some streets).  We do not pick up litter from residents yards.  Neighborhood litter control is always performed before home football games and before other KU functions such as graduation.

3. Bulky items are picked up at least once per week in the neighborhood, whether called in or not.

4. During student move-in/move-out times the trash is generally collected on a six-day per week basis until the area is cleared of trash.

Note:  Some other neighborhoods, mostly ones with alleys, receive litter control but on a greatly reduced frequency than the Oread Neighborhood.
