Recycling the empties at Wrigley Field
Monday, June 23, 2008
Have you ever wondered what the Cubs do with all those empty beer cans after a game? Me neither... but I was waiting in line for day-of-game Cubs/Sox tickets yesterday and a truck from Bucktown Recycling pulled up to the gate. (The gate by the Harry Caray statue, I think Gate D.)
Anyhow, the Cubs were apparently expecting this truck as a few minutes after the driver parked it, they started carting out pallets full of empty beer cans. I counted four pallets just like the one being loaded onto the truck in this picture.
Bucktown Recycling - the official recycler of the Chicago Cubs?
And now you know. (More about my Cubs/Sox adventures later this week. It was a good weekend for discovering some things around Wrigleyville.)
Finally, I'd be remiss to mention that today is the 24th anniversary of the Ryne Sandberg Game. Here's some links for further reading:
• The greatest Ryne Sandberg fan page on the interwebs.
• A reflection on my first time seeing the Sandberg game. (hee, hee, hee :^) - I'm so juvenile.)
• The Ryne Sandberg Appreciation Day program (4 MB download).
