Why do some people think it is okay to dump their shot bottles and trash all over the ground while tailgating and then just load up and leave it for the people that clean the lots? You were offered a garbage bag upon entry, USE it. S1 space 9. I wished I would have taken a picture of their license plate before entering the game.
Your trash at your tailgate spot.

we always leave our cans in a pile as it seems people want to collect those for the 5 cent return
but yes, always try and clean up trash

Years ago we came out of the stadium to see a guy dropping his full trash bags in the back of my truck and then walk back to his car. I grabbed the bags and put them on the hood of his car. Everyone in the car looked ashamed and they drove off with the bags still on the hood.
I ALWAYS clean up around my car. Sometimes I even clean up the spots near me, if the morons left it there.
In the stadium after the game irks me too. Why can't you take your nacho tray and empty soda to the garbage can you pass by when you leave?
Yeah, we often did the same thing, there were always people coming by collecting cans, so there was a can pile.
Trash other than cans\bottles goes in a bag though.
I’m not sure anyone collects cans anymore. At least not in our area. Because we used to do the same thing. Now we try to clean up before we go.
Wonder if its not worth it anymore. 5 cents doesn't go as far as it once did. One of many reasons we probably need to either raise the deposit or get rid of it.
It's the same reason people can't return their shopping carts to the return, laziness. Now I will eat crow and say I have left trash unknowingly (forgetful and rush to get out) in the stadium at my seat. I generally try to throw trash in a dumpster or cans versus on the ground. I wouldn't say I'm the best, but I also will say I'm not the worst in terms of just throwing trash wherever.
I am pretty sure I witnessed this and cheered you on while walking to me car. (or it's happened multiple times which is possible).
There was a guy grabbing cans out of garbage bags on Saturday.
All three games we haven't been offered a garbage bag. We bring our own, but thought that was weird that wasn't offered anymore. We are in D3
THIS. We've moved to the paved lots in recent years, but in the old days (Rhoads era for sure), you could leave your empties in a pile and they'd be gone after the game. It doesn't seem like that anymore.
I don't ever get offered the trash bag by the scanner girls, but I bring trash bags and bring my trash home with me.
Boy/Cub Scouts used to do it, usually starting during the game when most people were in the stadium. Did they get banned, or just give up on doing it?
The 1st two games, I noticed there was furniture in the dumpster near the lot I park in, talking up a lot of the room before the lots were close to filling up. Obviously some chowderheads dumped it there illegally. The trash had to be set alongside the dumpster because of the loveseat taking up all the room.
After the Iowa game, I saw a family loading up the back of a U-Haul truck with bags of cans they had collected from the lots during the game.
I always clean up my area where we sit. I like to keep it tidy, plus I usually have a lot of those little plastic liquor bottles to collect. Don’t want anyone thinking we are big drinkers, and getting a personal email from Jamie.
Were they taking them to Michigan?
we were offered bags in the first and third games but not iowa. seemed strange
