Solid Waste Services for Oread Neighborhood
- 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.
- 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.
- Bulky
items are picked up at least once per week in the neighborhood, whether
called in or not.
- 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.
