Pat,
If we could only get that through to the party people who attend concerts and theaters these days. It is pretty nasty trying to pull cables out of that mess when striking a TV production after everyone has left. One event I worked had less than 500 people in the audience. The cleanup crew started picking up recyclables first and filled two 55 gallon drums with glass bottles.
