Dr Le Tawdry Camp Clean Up Plan 2008


  1. NO GLASS:  we have repeatedly snd strongly encouraged everyone to not bring any glass bottles etc.  We will have one can of recycling for glass, for random glass left behind from other guests.  So NO GLASS!!  Do NOT PUT ANY GLASS IN OUR GARBAGE BAGS!
  2. CAMP TRASH: We will have separate clearly labeled trash cans (with tons of heavy duty contractor plastic bags).  We will have a can for aluminum cans, one for plastics, and one for paper (though there shouldn't be much of that, as we have also exhorted everyone to leave packaging at home.)  The camp systems team will make sure to keep the cans tended, and get the recycling secured, or taken to Recycle Camp.
  3. NO PACKAGING: Whenever possible, DO NOT BRING PACKAGING.  For example, if you get a 12 pack of beer, take the beer OUT OF THE CARDBOARD CASE AND LEAVE THAT AT HOME!
  4. CAMP MOOP PATROL: Of the thirty-five or so of the Burners, about half will be staying through Sunday night to Monday morning.  This will give us a good crew for clean-up, and for the "Grid Team", those of us who will carefully comb the camp-site and surrounding area for MOOP, and other crap.
  5. COMMUNITY MOOP PATROL: Everybody in the camp has agreed to contribute at least two hours to random playa cleanup, taking a bag, and their back, out for picking up crap on the playa.
  6. COSTUMES: Please use careful costume planning to reduce MOOP. Do not wear or bring costumes that shed or create MOOP (non-turkey feather type-boas and etc). and in general to make sure everything in camp, and on our persons, is well-secured.
  7. GLOWING GARBAGE: Glowy stuff is fun on the playa, but the disposable glowy stuff can be annoying and create a lot of waste.  Make an effort to have re-usable glow stuff and unpackage it before taking it to the playa. If you have disposable glow-stuff (such as glow sticks).  Do not throw this in some random camps trash when they die, you must take this home to your camp and dispose of it.
  8. SMOKING AND BUTT MOOP: We have hardly any smokers, but we'll have some Altoid tins around just in case for butts and such.  DO NOT THROW CIGARETTE BUTTS ON THE PLAYA!
  9. PLATES,CUPS,ETC: Everyone in camp is required to bring their own cutlery and plateware, and paper or plastic disposable stuff is discouraged (unless you're going to use it for the whole time.)
  10. BURNING STUFF: Anything that is to be burned MUST be burned in approved burn platforms.  Do not burn anything on the playa and do not dump ANY ashes or garbage on the playa.
  11. SHOWER: We will be using a 250 gallon recepticle for waste water. JOTS will pick this up at the end of burning man.
  12. REBAR: We have a re-bar extraction tool that will be used to remove all rebar
  13. GENERATOR: We have two high-quality, quiet Honda generators.  We have no plans for large events in the evening, so generator usage should be at a minimum.
