Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 18, 2005
“I say two weeks. That gives them enough time to make arrangements if they don't have a way to haul it off.”
— Deanna Favand, bartender, Topeka
“I would say no longer than two to three weeks after they post the notice. That's more than ample time.”
— Paul Adams, freelance web and graphic designer, Lawrence
“Something like three days, just because is doesn't look very clean or sanitary to have trash in the lawn.”
— Jackie Rocha, waitress, Lawrence
“A week is fair, I'd say. That's plenty of time to clean it up.”
— Josh Rodewald, Kansas University sophomore, Lawrence
