Yes indeedy... if the organizer doesn't provide the picking up himself then he'd will likely have to pay the state/city/county (who ever is responsible for the roads) to do it. Our amateur races are pretty sensitive about trash - we'd lose our venues if we were known to leave a lot of junk and the small promoters certainly can't afford a clean up crew, so *NO* throwing of wrappers, bottles can only be discarded if your race has a feed zone and only in the feed zone - where there are people to collect them. If an official sees you intentionally litter you will probably get relegated. Of course the pro races often have the advantage of 1,000's of fans who'd probably scoop up and frame a bar wrapper if they found it.... fist fights have probably broken out over bottles...
