It's far easier from an event planning standpoint to clean up the trash after instead of trying to supply and maintain trashcans or dumpsters. This is pretty normal

I hate this attitude, and I hope it isn't "normal". So basically, you are saying that if I am an attendee- I would have to endure all the filth and litter because nothing is going to be done about it until the event is over. and a lot of people may have your attitude that " it's all going to be cleaned up later", so they may not feel there's a need to exhibit any type of decorum with regards to their trash and litter. In the meantime, the litter tends to defile the aura and ambience of the event for a lot of people.

I have kids and I attend a lot of their youth sporting events. Quite often, some facilities have the same mindset that, "we will clean up after everyone leaves the event". So meanwhile, I am sitting next to spilled containers of nacho cheese, trash at my feet, empty drink bottles everywhere. Thats not a pleasant atmosphere for most people.
