Nothing new here. Ever been to a Seahawks/Mariners game? Concerts?

If you get a bunch of people grouped up in one area drinking and having fun... The place is going to get trashed. It's not a sledder thing, it's not a Seattle thing, it's a people thing.

"Beginning your title with "vote up if" is violation of intergalactic law."

on a technical basis yours starts with "please upvote" so you are in the clear.

and yea these people should have cleaned up after themselves. very disrespectful

This happened back in the huge snowstorm of 2003. I lived right on Bellevue/Denny (the brick building across the street) and the sledders left trash everywhere. The sidewalks were covered, the streets and intersections of Bellevue/Denny and also Melrose?Denny had abandoned couches and mattresses from sledders. I went out at 2AM to start picking up trash and a few neighbors came out to help. It was horrible.

This sucks, I know. And I don't condone it. But have you ever been to other large cities? Seattleites are WAY better with their litter than people in any other city I have spent time in. If this was taking place in Vegas, the last city I lived in, garbage would definitely NOT be in the garbage can to begin with, let alone filling the can to the brim before placing the extra around the can. It would be just dropped where the person finished it.

The evidence suggests Vitamin R is responsible.

It's ridiculous. I can't imagine how these people were raised that they think this is acceptable civil behavior.

Is this them?

I am all for having fun. I agree though, pack it out. These are the reasons that so many "fun" things are no longer allowed/tolerated.

It's at least by the trashcan, which is full to the top.

Also, while it was cool when they were out there in the afternoon/evening having a good time when it turned to random drunken shouting in the streets at 2 AM it got rather annoying fast. Have fun sledding, just respect the people who actually live there by keeping the noise down at night and not leaving trash everywhere.

That being said, even if I agree with you I always downvote anything that sets "please upvote"

The sledding party in Eastlake cleaned everything up on Lynn st. Too bad it didn't happen elsewhere :(

It isn't the end of the fucking world, there were a lot of people having fun and there is a little bit of trash, get the stick out of your ass.

To be fair it looks to be more of an issue of not enough space for the trash. While taking your trash home would be the right idea, most people don't even have the foresight to bring a trash bag with them, and I don't blame them for this. There are the occasional assholes who just litter, and they should be drawn and quartered, but that is not the constructive way to go about things.

Example: I was on the bus a few weeks ago and this early 20s guy in the back was breaking up weed to roll a blunt. Being from the Midwest I was surprised by how brave he was to take such a risk, even in Seattle. I don't have a problem with cannabis, but I don't think one should publicly roll up, on a bus, where there are children. What really struck me and pissed me off as something that makes cannabis users look bad is that he proceeded to empty the tobacco onto the floor of the bus. I usually don't say anything when someone litters on the bus, but in this case I had thought of a constructive way to criticize his behavior with an added friendly suggestion. So I got his attention and said "Dude, you should save that tobacco, you can sell it to a homeless guy or something." He gave me a thoughtful and friendly smile and most likely brushed my suggestion off, but he'll remember it in a positive way instead of some asshole bitching at him for littering.

tl;dr Guy dumped his blunt guts on the floor of the bus, instead of criticizing him for littering I suggested he save and use what he had just wasted.

My point is people are people, and when I see an overflowing trash can I don't blame the people who didn't plan on having to lug their trash home.

Hand out some trash bags next time.

Kinda funny how The Straner one day becomes enraged when the cops were closing down Queen Ann streets to sledding, even going so far to calling people to take back Denny Way!

Then the next day, complain about the trash leftover.
