KU students urge Lawrence to shift to automated pickups amid mixed support. Officials cite $5 million for weekly curbside recycling and $1.75 million for a sorting center. Move faces high costs, alley constraints, student move days, and space limits. Weldon Enterprises promotes efficiency, fuel savings, and greener trash, while framing Eudora and De Soto as early adapters.
