Cleaning the venue was a massive task and took several days, bulldozers, and tens of thousands of dollars. The workers actually started the clean-up by shoveling the trash; it looked like a tornado had gone through.

Plastic, crates, and clothes were strewn about, and the farm’s green grass was trampled into oblivion. However, there were more than eight thousand attendees who volunteered to help clean up, and it went fairly quickly and smoothly.
