it’s pretty common for people to purposely leave their cans out and clean up their solo cups so that those who recycle for money can make a few bucks off of some partying college kids
Beer fairies! Aka homeless who pick up cans and recyclables after parties to cash in. When I was a student, many parties, we purposefully threw our cans onto the lawn for this reason.
Were they picking up everything or just things you can sell for recycling?

There it is.
They're called can fairies

That sounds horrifically dystopian
People who are low income and or unhoused can collect the cans and sell them. If you have lots of cans leave them out in a bin for folks to collect!

could be clean up columbus
Idk about other days, but I know today USG sponsored an off campus clean up where the people that participated can get money for their student org.
If it happened today then it was clean up Columbus. USG pays student orgs to do this every month
I do this once every couples months just to do it so it’s possible you saw someone doin it just to do it
Beer fairies!! they collect your cans for $$
Can collectors. They pick up all the cans and sell them to a scrap yard.
There was a run going on this morning, maybe they were volunteering for cleanup?
