No thanks most of the cans and bottles have piss in them!

FWIW, the Bills organization provide jobs to people to clean up the lots. So I say throw away more crap and support underprivaledged people working. And that goes the same for all the beer cans and bottles. There are countless homeless people or families that count on those returns for cash. I say dump all your crap and help out the homeless!

Oh big of you, are you for real or just joking? Helping out the homeless is the last thing on tailgaters mind most of the cans are crushed and bottles smashed making them nonreturnable. If you want to help out the homeless work in a soup kitchen and if you want to pay Cadillac entitlement to the "underprivileged" well you're living in the right state.

Roger, !@#$ you and the horse you rode to the Ralph on.

[JDHILL]

what's your problem? Is this your first game? And yes some of us do leave our bottles for certain people that clean the lots. I don't park on RWS property but park in a nearby lot. We always pile our bottles up and leave them for the guy we call the "warrior". We usually feed him too. I don't know if this qualifies as helping the homeless but it is definitely realizing that not everybody is in the same situation and trying to treat people with respect.

[GR8PRKN]

That is part of the Cleaning contract with the Bills... KNIGHT FM has the contract and they made money on it today in the lots as they were empty so quit crying... It does provide some jobs to the area to...

Just so you know, you can return cans that are crushed. Just not in the machines.

[TheChimp]

In New Mexico where I'm stuck they dont even HAVE deposits on cans and bottles yet! !@#$ing dark ages here. Hell, I have a job but I bet I'd make more on any Sunday night grabbing all those !@#$ing cans than I do in 8 hours at my regular job. !@#$ing GOLD MINE that place must be!!!

i couldn't help but notice in all of your high-minded social commentary that you could not resist in throwing out a racist comment - very classy - very socially aware.

I don't agree with the OP, but what the hell are you rambling about? I don't know what a "Nanny State" is, but you sound like your typical angry, ill-informed, Fox News-watching redneck. Keep your politics to the appropriate forums.

[Just Jack]

Hell, I have a job but I bet I'd make more on any Sunday night grabbing all those !@#$ing cans than I do in 8 hours at my regular job.

Back in the mid 80's when NY first started doing returns, I'd head down to the state park by my parents house early in the morning before the park crew would clean out the garbage cans and pick cans/bottles. Usually made about $15 each day on the weekends, which was a lot of money for a couple hours work to this teenager.

[GOBILLS78]

I'm sure it's no worse than the trash on the field.

[The Tomcat]

Whenever I go past the stadium a few hours after the games it looks like a hell hole of trash. Its embarrassing really. I always think of the commercial in the 70's when the Indian has a tear coming down his face from all the trash on the side of the road.

 

I'm not against leaving your cans and bottles but it really is sad.

Every July, they have a fireworks show at a local park near my home and the amount of trash the next morning is astounding. What is really sad is that there are trash cans everywhere, yet you see garbage strewn on the ground and the cans are practically empty.

 

My point is that this unfortunately happens everywhere. I have been to many games around the league and you see the same thing at other venues. At the Ralph, they could certainly use more garbage cans, but then again based upon my example above, would people actually use them. We also used to have a small fire after the game and burned much of the paper trash that was left around where we parked. With the lots closing at 6PM, no more fire.

[St Jimmy]

I actually used to work clean up @ RICH stadium while I was in high school, got me into games for free, heck I even saw the Rolling Stones and others for free back then. Parking lot detail was the BEST part of the job, you think they are bad trying cleaning inside the stadium

Catch 22 with the garbage cans. Parkers would put trash in cans and than somebody would put hot coals in them. Cans were also turned in to burn barrels when the weather turned cooler. Plastic barrels were even used as burn barrels. Dumb.

 

Anyone notice how the grass around the grounds of the Ralph look like it has not been cut for a couple of weeks?

I think they fired the grass cutter after week 1

For Christ sake clean up after yourself! You must have left thousands of dollars of beer cans in the parking lots and enough paper trash to fill the stadium.

As of 11:00 am E.S.T. 10-11-2010 the stadium parking lots have had the trash picked up and placed in bags You can now rest peacefully.

[section122]

I don't know how social you are but in talking w the bottle collectors we found out there are separate ppl that collect plastic, glass, and cans. Also in talking with them they routinely make hundreds and one guy claimed 2000 from one game. A lot of ppl do make piles to make it easy and we always gave food/shots/beer to whomever collected the cans. Littering bothers me too but more in a side of the road way. If there are ppl paid to clean up no worries.

[tonyd19]

Yea, why pick up after yourselves when somebody else is paid too? So far the original poster has been attacked as a redneck and a racist (for some stupid reason). I can't believe all the people here making excuses for why they can't have enough pride in their city and themsleves to actually put trash in a trash can? (Inside or outside the stadium)

 

If you are leaving your trash anywhere, your not helping the needy, your not providing job security and you are not serving some higher order of social equality. Your just a filthy f*cking entitled slob who does not care about anyone or anything around you. It speaks greatly to your lack of character and the lack of pride you have regarding yourself, your neighbors and your community.

 

I live almost 3,000 miles away form Buffalo and cannot comment on the actual trash at the stadium, but the responses here to what seems to be a legitimate grip are astounding. I applaude the original poster for saying sometihing.

They must be a lot of rich Bills fans out there to just leave thousands of dollars in the parking lot each season. I should not hear any complaints when they raise tickets prices. You’re lucky Ralph Wilson does not walk the parking lots after a game. You tailgaters got more than enough disposable income to absorb it and if I were Ralph I’d be jacking the price of tickets and parking right up your butts.

 

I would mind it so much if the tailgaters would throw out the garbage and neatly stack up their cans for other to take, but most do not. It’s like the tailgater was brought up in a barn just like pigs wallowing around in their own slop waiting for someone else to clean up after them. Have a little more respect for yourself and others! Now I truly know the phrase “the ugly American”.

You pay $25 to park in the stadium lot, and part of what you are paying for is the right to be messy and act like a cave man. That is part of the fun of tailgating.

 

Dirty stadium lots provide jobs to people on the clean up crews. No tailgate trash means people losing jobs.

 

Also, very poor people can earn some extra cash for themselves by filling their shopping carts with trash. Sometimes I pile my empties up to make it easier for the homeless. Sometimes I just crush the cans, though, because I don't care that much.

 

The reality is that when you have that many people going to an event, you are going to have trash and need clean up crews. It's the same thing as cleaning up after a concert. Heck, you even have to clean up a movie theater after every showing because people leave trash around. That's life. Tailgating is no different.

I always have a garbage bag to put trash in @ the games....so........stop generalizing. And guess what? We even throw the trash bag in the dumpster.

[Just Jack]

Part of the regulationas on the Bills webpage regarding parking is that everyone is expected to bag their tailgate garbage and place it in the dumpsters (I'm on the road and can't look up the exact wording right now). Now, with that being said, they could provide bags when you enter the lot to those who want them.

[lets_go_bills]

Parking fees cover clean up costs.

I unfortunately live 4 hours away and can't come to every game. However I just decided that the next time I come up I am going to use your front lawn to dump all my trash after the game. When Ralph stops putting trash on the field, people might stop leaving trash in his parking lots.

40,000 cans and bottles? NO way. I'll bet that the most ambitious/creative of them make in the $200 range (that's still 4,000 cans and bottles--over 160 cases--to transport), though.

Not off of the cans, they didn't.

While I’m at it I may as well get a few more things off my chest. I don’t mind the drinking and getting loud as long as it’s done responsibly and respectably but the Spring Break atmosphere I could do without, unlike most of you tailgaters who act like they just walked off a Girls Gone Wild video.

 

Also, as if the all the drunken fools falling over their seats spilling their beer and nacho cheese on everyone was not enough, I could never imagine taking my 8 and 10 year old nieces to the game for fear that they might get an ear full of foul nasty language.

 

My nieces would have loved to see the cheerleaders but I would never expose them to the fans yelling down to the Jills “dance for me whores”. Also, half the stadium cheering for the girl fight that started up in the stands
