The Lost Colony
Camp Clean Up Plan
Basic Outline
1) We will be concise with our use of materials; using recyclable and reusable items for camp structures, costumes, toys, and food; and removing all excess packaging.
2) We will avoid bringing MOOP: super small trinkets, paper, feathers, glitter, and excess packaging and glass bottles.
3) We plan to set up camp in a specific manner as outlined below under, “Camp Set Up Plan”; accounting for every board, stake and scrap.
4) We will recycle all matter that qualifies – including aluminum cans if we bring them.
5) All members will be outfitted with standardized utensil set, which includes cup, plate, fork and spoon – there will be no paper plate or plastic utensil type materials in our trash as they are wasteful!
6) We designate Deborah Gilbert – aka Mademoiselle Nettoyer Le Femme (The Clean Up Woman) - as the camp LNT expert. She will ensure that our camp stays clean from our first day of arrival (8/24/06) through to our strike day (9/4/06). She will organize clean up with and from fellow BRC residents if and when it is needed. She will also assist in planning our purchases to ensure we buy reusable, and easily recyclable items. She will be there when it's time to strike camp and will make sure every trace of matter goes with us.
The Lost Colony – Playa Friendly Rules
* We promise to Leave No Trace in and around The Lost Colony, including our waste and that of those who visit us - invited or otherwise.
* We will make time for regular cleanup, cleaning as we go, picking up random moop we see along our paths. On our first day all Lost Colony residents will be advised to check around camp daily for loose MOOP.
* We will keep our recyclable, burnable and non-burnable items separated for easier disposal.
* We won't light fires on bare ground, leaving scars. If we burn, we'll use a public burn barrel or burn platform and follow the safety guidelines for fires and burn scar prevention. We'll sweep up and haul out the ashes.
* We won't dig holes more than 6 inches in diameter or trenches, scarring the Playa.
* We will keep all items tied or weighted down, and leave papers at home.
* We will leave extra space in every vehicle (8 cubic feet) on the way to the desert, so that every member can haul away extra trash.
* We will take all trash in sealed containers to a landfill on the way home – locations listed below.
* We won't put any trash into the port-o-potties or leave any trash near the potties – only toilet paper.
* We will bring the following items for our Camp's Clean-up Day (Sunday)
* Shovel
* Whiskbroom
* 5-gallon bucket and mesh bag for wet kitchen scraps.
* Separate containers for recyclable, burnable and non-burnable items.
* Lots of rope and string
* Lots of trash bags
* Work gloves
* Long-handled sledgehammer for compacting in 5-gallon buckets and driving stakes.
* Vise grips for removing stakes and rebar. Magnets for picking up small pieces of metal
* Directions and hours of landfills.
* We are taking the packaging off everything before we leave home. We'll utilize reusable containers to transport items to the playa.
* We will not over pack, costumes, food or toys.
* We will keep our stuff in camp. Not leave stuff lying around with the intention of cleaning up later.
* No one in our camp smokes, but if friends of ours do they will dispose of their butts appropriately.
* We pledge to do our absolute best to be waste-free on the playa and when we return home.
Reno Garbage Dump Locations
FERNLEY SANITATION
In Fernley, (everyone leaving Burning Man goes near or through Fernley) Fernley sanitation will be open through the Labor Day weekend. The office phone there is 775-575-4964, however the office (but not dump) is closed on weekends. Their rate is $3.85 per cubic yard. To reach Fernley Sanitation from Eastbound I-80, take the first (most westerly) Fernley exit and proceed right (south) to "downtown" Fernley. Turn right (at stop light) onto Highway 95 (towards Silver Springs). Proceed a couple of miles and cross the canal. Turn left onto the dirt road at building with "Public Refuse Disposal" on its face. This building is reportedly between the High School and Fernley Redi-mix.
LOCKWOOD LANDFILL
Run by Reno Disposal (100 Vassar St., Reno, 775-329-8822), will be open for business over Labor Day weekend. They operate from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends, and from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays (even including Labor Day). To get there, head west on I-80, and get off at Exit 23. RENO TRANSFER STATION in Reno (also run by Reno Disposal, 775-329-8822) will be open through the entire Labor Day weekend. Their hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. holidays and weekends. They confirmed they will operate on Labor Day. They are located at 1492 East Commercial Row, Reno. They charge $3.65 per cubic yard (27 cubic feet).
The best way to get there from I-80 West (e.g., returning to California) is to take Exit 23 (Mustang) and go straight for about two miles until you reach the transfer station.
There may also be other opportunities to dispose of trash as you leave the Black Rock Community. There are not enough dumpsters between Black Rock City and your house to contain all the trash from all the participants, so dump only what you must (i.e., stinky garbage) until you're further away.
