Hope! Change! Trash!
According to the Associated Press:
As crowds cleared the city Tuesday, their trash covered the National Mall and Washington Monument grounds after President Barack Obama’s inauguration.
They left behind plastic bottles, newspapers, food wrappers, gloves and even American flags they had been waving. Trash bins overflowed with items people tossed.

And for those unamericans who booed former President Bush, shame on you, history has not been written yet and in the future take your trash with you to your own hometown.
