Going green on game day: App State’s Physical Plant and keeping campus clean
Jackie Park, News Editor
September 27, 2019
With all of the preparation that goes into football game day tailgates — food, tables, cornhole and so on — an important element is often forgotten in Peacock Lot: trash.
Chris Erickson, assistant superintendent of landscape services, hasn’t forgotten about this step in the tailgating process after 11 years of working at App State.
“We’ve got the receptacles there; we’ve got them in place. They’re just not choosing to use them,” Erickson said. “I think they do a good job at first, and then as the day goes on, they’re not doing as good.”

Good reminder! It takes a lot of work to get campus back in shape after game day, and it would be a lot easier if more people took responsibility for squaring away their own mess whenever possible.
That's one thing my wife commented on about the hill during the UNCC game. Once the exodus from the overstuffed hill started in the second half, it was pretty disgusting how much garbage was left behind. I get it. People leave trash behind in the stands, too, but it's not as visible as it is on the hill.
