Every single year on a weekend in the middle of August, the city of Madison becomes host to an event known as “Hippie Christmas.”  This transition period of students moving in and out of both apartments and houses throughout the city brings along an abundant amount of opportunities for people to grab whatever “trash” is left to be thrown away.
