Disgusting Danone Litter!

Today I was walking down Granville St (at the corner of Granville and Robson) and saw a trash can that was not only filled to the brim with
little purple plastic bottles, but almost 30 of them were strewn below
the trash can and rolling every which way.
As I walked up the street to the corner of Granville + Georgia, I saw the culprits: Apparently the Danone company put out a promotion of a drinkable yogourt beverage, and were handing out free samples.
Unfortunately, the company that Danone hired (Celsius Communications) failed to provide adequate trash receptacles, and the litter was tremendous! Bottles EVERYWHERE!
I'm infuriated! This is BEYOND disgusting! Not only were the persons responsible for the promotion irresponsible, but they actually did a very poor 'cleanup' job afterwards. The trash cans that had been overflowing were still stuffed with bottles, as only the bottles beneath them had been cleaned up. There were still numerous bottles left on the street, to be stepped on or crushed by busses.
