@billyjim58 - The line was hardly on Main Street at all. I'm wondering if most of the garbage you saw was from the regular bar/college scene. I was on line up near Edmunds Middle School (a few blocks up from the Flynn, but many blocks as the line winds.) I showed up around 6 in the morning (with a trash bag and a recycling bag in my pack) and was immediately dismayed by all the trash *already* on the ground. I quickly realized that it was ALL from the previous night's bar scene. As the line wound through the blocks, I saw many full bags of trash, but not the mess you describe. Even one of my friends who lives on King Street - not a fan, does not particularly care for hippies, had a big bag of trash left in front of his place afterward - admitted begrudgingly that it was really pretty smooth, and the trash was largely left in bags.

In fact, now that I think about it, walking back up Main Street after the sale, that stretch where the 5:00 AM and later arrivals were lined up (practically the only people on Main Street, other than the half block below the Flynn) was pretty much immaculate.

I share your general dismay at the trash often left behind, but I'm calling shenanigans on this one.
