Birch Garbage & Dumpsters: Birch residents are responsible for taking out their own room garbage to the outside dumpster. Please use the dumpsters either between Decker & Birch Hall on the parking lot side. The dumpster will be behind a tan fence. We encourage residents to break down their boxes and place them in the dumpster, not on the ground beside it.

GMW staff routinely take out the garbage and recycling in the shared community spaces.
