Responsible for recycling, collecting burnables, and collecting trash.
Keep Trash area organized throughout the week.
Find people to take trash & recycling out of the event with them at the end of the week
Find people to take burnables to a burn barrel in the village and burn them.
Compost
Camp Contact has some trash cans and we bring plenty of trash bags, but it requires a concerted effort to coordinate this vital part of our camp experience.
Camp CONTACT Leave No Trace plan:
Practice the 5 R's: Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore and Respect.
Reduce trash when packing.
Keep smelling garbage away from recyclables in BRC.
Clean As We Go and Keep It From Hitting the Ground.
Adopt the seven principles and practices of Leave No Trace at Burning Man.
Educate all camp members about minimizing our impact on the playa, so that my LNT crew can relax during the event knowing that all of our camp members are doing their part.
Conserve energy, use renewable energy sources and minimize waste.
Collect, reduce and properly dispose of grey water.
Use or creatively use discarded materials for all the components of our camp structure and decorations, so that our camp is sustainable year after year.
Bring tools to rake, magnetic rake, sweep and pick up every last nail and wood shard that dropped on the playa surface so that I leave my space and my surrounding spaces better than I found them
Follow the rule of thumb for line sweeps – performing required multiple sweeps of our camp before leaving BRC. (One sweep is not enough. Do as many passes as necessary: the strength of the line sweep is in the number of people and passes.)
Organize neighborhood MOOP sweeps. (Joining with neighboring camps and sweeping an entire block together is the best insurance against MOOP hot spots, bringing your own MOOP scores down.)
Secure all vehicles' loads to prevent windblown trash on the highway and in neighboring communities.
