Leaving your trash in the stands means you’ve decided someone else’s job is to clean up after you.

Rubbish left behind does not evaporate, it becomes an instruction. Somebody comes along the row after you with a bag, and the only thing that decided whether that was necessary was whether you carried a cup forty feet. Nobody will catch you, which is why it happens, and the job quietly transfers.

Take yours out with you on the way, every time, including the sticky one at your feet that might not be yours. If you are with people, do it without a comment and they will usually copy you. It is twenty seconds against somebody else’s shift.
