Dealing With Trash
Trash is a problem. We all generate
trash. We all need to be a responsible for it.
Since the Trash we generate is as a Community, each camper
will aid in the process of transporting Community Generated
Trash Off-Playa. Take At Least TWO (2) Bags
of Community Garbage Off-Playa - Be responsible and dispose
of this garbage in appropriate receptacles.
Each vehicle that arrives at PolyParadise will be required
to take home two bags of trash. During the week the TRASH
TEAM will place a bag of trash at the driver's side door of
your vehicle (think of it like SANTA).
That is YOUR bag to take home. It will be DOUBLE BAGGED,
NON-STINKY, and of REASONABLE size and flexibility for
packing. Please plan room in your vehicle for this bag of
trash.
If for any reason, you don't like your bag of trash (you
just don't click or cannot get along with one another)
please see the TRASH TEAM for an exchange of bags.
It is your responsibility to dispose of your bag properly.
The best place for this would be at home. But if you cannot take your bag home, use an authorized disposal location and verify the current hours, prices, and accepted materials before you depend on it.
