The council have tried various initiatives including putting on extra collections at the end of the year but they're partly to blame because since the student allocation increased the area was mismanaged. Sorry for the grizzle - I moved out last year and I'm still a bit pissed off about having to do so.
I grew up in the area as well. I agree something needs to be done about the rubbish as even throughout the year it can be a problem. I think that students do contribute a lot to the area though
