The annual “rite of summer” known as move out/move in days in Madison will be a little easier for young apartment and flat dwellers this year, as city crews downtown plan to empty garbage and recycling carts every day this week.
Most leases end on Aug. 14, which is Friday, with most new leases starting up the next day.
Hundreds of tons of refuse and recyclables used to be piled high at curbside, but the city has been very proactive for several years, both in collections and working with agencies to get dropoff donation sites set up downtown and on campus.
