Rensselaer in Brief
Crackdown at U Albany
Two weeks after the unruliness that usually surrounds the neighborhoods around the University of Albany reached its peak, with the arrest of three students for allegedly throwing bottles through the windows of a neighbor’s house and the injury of two Albany police officers struggling with students, it appears that the area is becoming calm once again.

Police patrols in the area have been increased, including many by undercover officers, and the State Liquor Authority has increased its presence in nearby college bars. Two bars have already been charged with selling to minors, one being accused of thirty one counts. The Hudson Avenue residents that bore the brunt of the rowdiness do not think the change is permanent, however, and expect the riotous behavior to return within weeks.

Waste Pickup Revised
Starting October 24, the trash pickup system in Troy will be given a major overhaul. Street collection and recycling will be consolidated to Tuesdays only in order to add an extra crew devoted to bulk waste collection. Alley pickups on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays will be maintained. It is hoped that this will improve the current system, in which some residents have to wait weeks for bulk trash and brush pickup, without increasing the costs associated with the service. The new system will eliminate Thursday as a day for street and alley pickup, but city Solid Waste Coordinator Bill Chamberlain stated that residents shouldn’t notice a difference as Thursdays have been their lightest pickup day for some time.
