Sunday mornings at Sun Devil Stadium may not have all the action of Saturday nights, but there is still a lot of work to do at Frank Kush field.

After every ASU home football game, thousands of pounds of trash line the bleachers and stadium walkways, and a local company, C & D Crystal Cleaning, Inc., moves in to clean it up.

The company has cleaned the stadium since 2003, general manger Travis Lambert said.

Part of the bid C & D Crystal Cleaning made when selected to clean Sun Devil Stadium included offering to help student groups raise money. Lambert regularly hires student groups of 25 or more to help his company clean the stadium.

“It’s not a necessity,” Lambert said. “But it’s something we do to give back to help out the students at ASU.”

Lambert pays student groups a minimum of $1,000, but said the amount can fluctuate based on the game’s attendance.

Meghan Tuttle, a kinesiology junior, said she contacted Lambert to raise money for her sorority, Omega Phi Alpha. She serves on the sorority’s fundraising chair and said the sorority is seeking to raise $4,000 for local charities.

“The way we put on our service projects is by raising money,” Tuttle said. “We went around campus to find as many ways as we could to raise money.”

Tuttle and about 30 members from her sorority met at the stadium about 6:30 a.m. Sunday to help with the cause. She said she didn’t mind spending a couple hours on a Sunday morning

cleaning because it benefited her sorority and ASU.

“We thought it would be a great way to give back to ASU too by helping to clean up,” Tuttle said.

Pete Wozniak, ASU athletics facility manager, oversees maintenance at all athletic facilities at ASU. Maintaining the cleanliness of the stadium is important to the University’s image, he said.

“We don’t want it to look like there was a football game from the outside as soon as the game is over,” Wozniak said.

People are constantly cleaning the stadium, he said, even as the game is being played. Workers clean everything from the bleachers to the bathrooms immediately following the game, he said.

“We do, average, about 10 tons [of garbage] per game,” Wozniak said.

An average of four-to-five 40-yard long bins are filled with trash each game, Lambert said.

The stadium started recycling last year, but the process didn’t pan out as well as he would have liked because it was implemented too late last year, Wozniak said.

But better results are expected this year because Sun Devil Stadium staff got on board during the preseason.

“This year we’re doing a lot more,” Wozniak said. “We’ve already done significantly more this year than last year.”
