The scene looked more like the leftovers of a massive college frat party.
Heaps of plastic bottles, food wrappers, soda cans, and newspapers, which blanketed the National Mall Wednesday morning, were a stark contrast to the stateliness and splendor of President Barack Obama's inaugural ceremony a day before.
One hundred tons of trash were collected by city and federal sanitation workers, according to Department of Public Works public information officer Linda Grant.
In comparison, 40 tons of garbage were collected in New York City's Time Square on New Year's Day 2009 -- after one million people attended the celebration -- according to the city's Department of Sanitation.
Grant said Washington's massive inaugural cleanup effort began at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
"By 5:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, we collected about 90 tons of the garbage," she said.

The rest of the garbage left on foot.
ah, but the Homeless still aren’t allowed into the area. Besides. homelessness is only a problem during Republican administrations. . .
Where have you been? The Democrats solved homelessness back in 1992. Right before they cured AIDS.
Tower of Babble-on.
Rush’s comment: Hurricane ‘Latrina’ hits the Washington Mall. I laughed.

I’m sure the small American Flags weigh about 2oz. each.
A lot, actually.
Almost all of it was either bagged and stacked next to the permanent (but full) trash cans or thrown into temporary "cages" labeled "PLEASE DEPOSIT TRASH HERE".
Wow!
Someone threw away a perfectly good woman in a wheelchair.
I wonder how many of the candy bar wrappers belonged to Aretha Franklin? I hope she wasn’t invited to any luncheon buffets........
I remember in NYC after the Bicentennial celebration there was some attention paid to the number of tons of garbage picked up in Lower Manhattan afterward. Supposedly there were close to 11 million people in the area that day. But, I think Obama’s 1 million slobs may have topped it in trash tonnage.
