Each New Year's Eve at Times Square an army of 250 sanitation workers remove up to 50 tons (100,000 lbs) of waste after the celebrations in just 8 hours.
My university was mad folks were smoking on campus.
So, they banned it and moved all the ashtrays to the edge of school grounds. Where folks stood around and smoked. So, they decided to remove them from the edges. So, folks started throwing their butts on the ground. They granted a sustainability prize of like $10,000 to a group that came up with the idea of teaching birds to pick up the butts and drop them in the trash.
The idea never happened. And they still complain about the butts. But, they won't bring the bins back.
