Sanitation crews are working hard to dispose of six months' worth of garbage from a community the size of Wahpeton or Valley City. The mountains of debris need to be moved before the spring thaw occurs.
Making a dent in the immense amount of trash being hauled out of the Oceti Sakowin protest camp is being hindered by the weather. All the garbage that was left behind is now frozen into massive chunks of junk.
In a month, all this trash could become toxic.
[...] It's estimated it will take 250 trucks filled with litter to clear the camp.

Perhaps. But that is speculation hence my question.
Another theory is they didn't pay for it so they didn't care and abandoned it. In this case their are big money interests on BOTH sides who want and do not want protesters. With that sort of money there could be shenanigans and paid protesters. However, THAT is speculation too.
Did they abandon all the crap in place? Or were they forced off?
Once Trump signed that order they had pretty much 0 reason to be around anymore. However, it could be the locals got tired of their shit... Again speculation and EITHER is a scathing remark on the whole mess.
