Names sent in on Tuesday will be picked up Thursday.
Names sent on Thursday will be picked up the following Tuesday.
Housing is saying we can only send one crew of 4 employees on campus on each pickup day.

PLEASE- I am a small, local, family-run business and I could always use your help with referrals and trying to get CU Boulder to work with us this year and in the future. On-Campus students if we do a good job please let CU housing know, over the past 10 years they will not even mention our company in any emails or their website as an option for CU students and parents that need summer storage or shipping services. We are located right here in Boulder and I am a CU alum. If you know other CU students or parents that need our services, this year in particular, please let them know about CSS! We can help them out.
Boulder is one of Colorado's most bustling cities, so it's no surprise that students flock there to receive a world-class education. The university's setting offers the benefits of picturesque mountain views with the learning and career opportunities offered by proximity to a major city. Students can easily reach downtown Denver or Rocky Mountain National Park within a short drive. In the immediate area, there is a mix of trails through the Flatirons for those who want an outdoorsy experience. For shopping, dining, and entertainment, students can visit Pearl Street Mall and other popular areas in downtown Boulder, which is only one mile from CU-Boulder's campus.
CU-Boulder's campus and the surrounding community have helped Boulder achieve the title of the number one college town in America. With more than 450 student clubs and organizations, countless community service projects, and many sporting events, students are never at a loss for things to do on campus. When students want to explore beyond the school grounds, Boulder's 43,000 acres of open space and more than 80 miles of pedestrian and bike paths make it easy to explore the area's offerings.
Students at the University of Colorado Boulder benefit greatly from a school that combines the offerings of a busy city with the beauty and active opportunities of lush natural landscapes. Meanwhile, the school's academic programs make it easy for students to get an excellent education.
