Litter increase could cost UNL By Kara Korshoj Staff Reporter The University of Nebraska-Lin coln cleanup crews are asking every one to be tidier. People who ignore waste contain ers could be costing the university big money, said Bud Dasenbrock, direc tor of Landscape Services. Littering is up 1 percent this year, which could pose a problem, he said. Dasenbrock said a survey was done several years ago about littering on campus. Results showed littering cost the university 2 cents for every wrap per, cigarette butt and other item of trash improperly discarded.

STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANIES Horn* OfftcM: Bloomington, IMnofe An Equal Opportunity Employer $35,000 a year to have Landscape Services pick up the litter. If littering continues to pile up, Dasenbrock said, cleanup costs could rise as well. Dasenbrock said the increase in litter could be related to the new no smoking policies enforced in all uni versity buildings this year. Dasenbrock said more cigarette waste containers were placed around campus and that more will be added. About 400 waste containers are on campus. Landscape services will add more containers where students think they are needed, Dasenbrock said. Picking up litter on both City and East Campuses takes 7,000 hours each school year, which is 6 percent of Landscape Services employees’ time, Dasenbrock said. These figures do not include “acci dental” littering, such as papers blow ing off trucks or wind bringing litter onto the campus, Dasenbrock said. Football Saturdays can bring a tre mendous amount of litter onto the campus. Kirby Baird, city landscape man ager of Landscape Services, said it took five or six employees three hours each topick up the litter around Me morial Stadium. Big Red litter has been a problem even after 50 to 60 extra trash contain ers were set up. On the Monday after a football game, the entire depart ment must clean up what has been overlooked, Baird said.
