I'll tell you the biggest root of the problem and it aint the fans...it's out cheapass administration's complete lack of foresight into giving people the proper tools they need to keep the area clean. Many (hell, most) schools provide AMPLE trash cans and dumpsters in high tailgate areas for starters. Furthermore many actually hire (novel concept I know!) cleaning crews to go around policing the area and emptying trash WHILE people tailgate, crazy! The era ending circa 2009, where all these pictures came from, resulted from THOUSANDS of people tailgating in one compact area on north campus where the school put out a handful of flimsy cardboard trash cans (with 1 bag in it) Saturday morning and didn't come back til Sunday afternoon. I mean FFS what do you expect to happen?

1993 Florida at LSU game.
I bought a ticket outside of Tiger Stadium from a very drunk guy that I think was an LSU fan. Good seats on the east side on about the 50 and 20+/- rows up.
The very drunk guy was sitting next to me cussing up a storm. He mentioned something about attending a game in Athens. Maybe LSU in 1991. Do not really know who played.
I asked him what the University of Georgia campus was like. The very drunk guy looked at me and without cussing or slurring he said, "That place is so clean, you could eat off the sidewalks."
That was a real complement to the University of Georgia coming from that guy.
Pregame tailgating (food and drink) has really increased over the past 25 years. Some people treat it like it's Mardi Gras with everything disposed of on the ground.

This. It just doesn't seem that difficult or even costly to have a small staffing that rotates through key tailgate areas, replenishes trash bags where necessary and tie up full ones. Don't even need to worry about getting them to a dumpster, just sufficiently collected and tied up is really enough.
