Game Day
Landscape Services places 2500 thirty-five gallon plastic waste cans in the 11 acre Grove and Circle areas on the day before each home game.
Over 150 more fifty-five gallon barrels are placed around the campus perimeter to assist with refuge demand.
An additional 17 to 30 dumpster's (20 or 30 yards each) are placed on campus to remove all waste that is generated in the Grove and around campus.
Landscape Services will place close to 300 temporary direction signs on campus to remind fans where to and not to park.
Irrigation
The Landscape Services Department is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and installation of most of the irrigation systems on the University of Mississippi's main campus.
It is our goal to keep the campus looking lush, green, and healthy while being wise stewards of our resources. Regular maintenance of irrigation systems is vital to ensure that the systems run effectively and efficiently. There is approximately 200 acres of trees, shrubs and turf under irrigation on campus.
Solid Waste
The University of Mississippi provides trash collection dumpster's on campus. These dumpster's are for the University of Mississippi community's use and are only to be used for the disposal of campus generated material.
Street Sweeping
The University of Mississippi's Landscape Services Department plays a vital roll in street sweeping on campus. The Landscape team is responsible for maintaining over ten miles of campus streets as well as numerous parking lots and service drives.
A dust-free sweeper, which uses a powerful vacuum and high efficiency filters to control secondary dust, is used to clean the many curbs along the street. This keeps gutters free of debris so rain water can flow freely into drains. Backpack blowers are also used by the Landscape Services team to clean up tight corners in service drives and parking lots.
