Jan 2, 2009: Happy New Trash

xoxoxoBruce · 01-02-2009, 03:58 AM

To many people, when you say New Years Eve, Times Square comes to mind.
Bazillions of people have seen the Times Square celebration, the ball and for a while the Big Apple, dropping at midnight.

A lot less people have actually made their way to New York City to participate in the party, but this year (or would that be last year now?) they claim about a million people showed up. I've been to Times Square (not on NYE) and believe me, it ain't that big. They must have been huddled for warmth.

They say a 25mph wind was blowing around anything that wasn't tied down, but even with the wind's help there was over 40 tons of trash left behind... over a ton of just confetti.

I wonder if someone will do an article on some of the more interesting things the sanitation crews find?
