Japan - Busy Pokémon GO locations leading to trash issue

Pokémon GO is a phenomenon in Japan just as it is anywhere else, but it seems like there's some negative side effects from the game. Case in point, the huge amount of trash that players are just leaving behind when playing. Some areas are littered with trash strewn about on the ground, others are swamped with garbage receptacles that just aren't big enough to handle the influx of people. Hopefully players start to clean up after themselves a bit better, or we might soon see locations banning Pokémon Go play.
