In which case all that trash you saw would just look a bit more organized. There is nowhere to deposit trash on North Campus, even on none gamedays


In Auburn, for the most part, people place their trash bags next to the nearest trashcan. Cleaning crews start picking them up at night.

During the day, crews also ride around and ask if anyone needs trash bags

At UGA, people would have to just keep them at their tailgates (all trashcans were either built in next to sidewalks or the cardboard trashcans were in the middle of the quads anyway). As rig alluded, the crews that were supposed to come through at night usually didn't make it until some time the following morning.

Yeah, that never happened at UGA as far as I had seen. And that's partly what I'm wanting to see. It shouldn't be an honor that UGA alumni and fans get to even breathe the air on North Campus. It is meant to be a place where fans are supposed to congregate. The school or whoever else happens to be in charge should recognize that and do their best to accommodate the needs of the alumni that have made the university and gameday what it is. If after those necessary and appropriate accommodations are offered you see a complete disrespect of the grounds, then there is reason to either reduce or do away with tailgating on that area of campus. But to my knowledge, no such accommodations beyond cardboard trashcans and your typical porta potties were provided.
