Cleaning Up the Aftermaths of Celebration

On the eve of every year, the residents of Sydney flock into the heart of the city by the thousands to celebrate the arrival of the new year. The extravagant display of fireworks over the world famous Sydney Harbour Bridge brings people from all over the city, and indeed, tourists from all over the world, into the vantage points at the Rocks, Mrs. Macquaries chair, Blues Point, and more. However, after the celebrations are over, on the first day of the new year, the city sobers up to the mounds of garbage left all over the untidy streets of Sydney. Clean up crews work frantically to scoop up all the broken beer bottles, crushed cans, discarded food packaging, and other debris from the streets, before spraying down the streets with high pressure water hoses to make the city look acceptable again. Even sweeper hire companies were called into action. It is a shame that a city has to welcome the new year by ruining its world famous façade, simply because people are too lazy to take care of their surroundings.
