Moving CU students = lots of garbage

July 23, 2010 · Posted by in Environment 

How much waste is produced by the students moving in and out of Boulder each year? Well, enough to warrant a lot of extra garbage trucks, apparently.

The requirements mandate that landlords in the University Hill and Goss/Grove neighborhoods, known for high concentrations of student rental properties, sign up for additional trash pickup during designated times in the spring and fall. Additional trash pickup, already required from May 4-10 this year, will be required from July 31 through Aug. 30.

Seriously, these are college students. They had Craigslist before they had braces. Figure it out, kids! Or consider investing in summer storage!
