This is some the trash items I saw on Sunday after the Missouri football game. For my service outreach project, I was part of the tailgate clean up group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I started at the Legion Pool area and found that a lot of other people were cleaning and it was a little hard to find trash. But as I made my way up the stream towards O-house dining commons, I began to see much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I reached the most densely populated area in terms of trash, I was very surprised to see not only the amount of cans and trash, but also the obscurity of some of the objects. Objects like broomsticks, tires, etc. We filled 3 trash bags of mostly cans and bottles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who actively tailgates here, I see trash thrown all over campus on football game days. Greek Park Circle, the area where I currently live is often flooded with cans, cups, and miscellaneous trash on Sundays. But I think my favorite part about this outreach was that we went to a less visited area of campus and got to pick up trash I don’t think would have gotten cleaned if it weren’t for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also showed me that the employees of volunteers that do routinely clean after game days do not get everything, us going out there really does make a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
