The Campus Community Coalition is working to place six trash cans on Neely Avenue and on Marsh and Rex streets along the Muncie Indiana Transit System's experimental east-of-campus shuttle route.
The sites have been OK'd by property owners, and the trash cans will be serviced by the city, said Eldon Buck, who represents the University Area Landlord Association. Mike Gallion, student member of the coalition and Student Government Association treasurer, is working with the city to get them placed as soon as possible, Buck said.
The coalition on Thursday also discussed ways to raise awareness about its purpose and to build creditability and name recognition through a Web site and a logo.
Several members suggested themes that emphasized bridging the gap between the city and university.
"For students, sometimes it's easy to get so consumed by the Ball State campus and school activities, but we also want them to feel welcomed," said Alison Quirk, Muncie City Council member.
