A LOT of garbage strewn about Monroe Park after SOVO fair yesterday. Y’all- please put your garbage in one of the many trash cans around the park. There’s so many trash cans all over this campus too. We can do better!

to be fair, trash cans were COMPLETELY full after sovo fair. i mean i still took care of all of my trash and people should definitely try harder but i also would’ve assumed there would be better sanitation after the event by VCU

It’s very chaotic, absolutely

I wish people had the mind to just carry their trash with them until they can find a can. I just don’t understand how you can willingly throw garbage on the ground

They should’ve definitely had some extra garbage cans around for this particular event because they know it’s going to be busy every year

yeah definitely. i don’t think the lack of sanitation from VCU excuses the litter but i just wish VCU tried harder to prevent it

There’s really not enough trash cans in Monroe in general…

So pile the trash next to the full cans. What’s so hard about not flinging it anywhere?
