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

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

3. I wish the city had a free bus/trolley system on gameday to take people back and forth from downtown. Would help the parking problem. I also believe this would help distribute traffic to other parts of the city
We do this at Missouri and it's f'n fantastic if you don't have a parking pass. Park downtown in a deck for free, hit the bars, then take the $1.50 shuttle to the stadium. I love it.
That said, Missouri could improve the pre-game atmosphere with more parking for people without passes.
BRING BACK REACTOR FIELD
They shut it down a few years ago because they were afraid someone was going to get killed. I say, let the rules of Darwin be the only rules when it comes to tailgating.
