What to Bring & What to Avoid
What to Bring ✅
What to Avoid ❌
- Utensils, plates, and cups 🍽️ that you already have at home. But no glass! Ceramic is fine.
- Reusable tupperware. You can also use clean yogurt containers, empty chip/bread bags, silicone Stasher bags, and beeswax food wraps 🐝
- Refillable, lidded cups or water bottles 🍼.
- Single Use utensils, plates, and cups. Red Solo Cups are not to recycled.
- Avoid aluminum foil and plastic bags — mining aluminum pollutes ecosystems and plastic bags are made from petrochemicals (fossil fuels).
- Single Use plastic water bottles, which are harmful to our health, with the average plastic water bottle containing 325 microplastics for every liter (Clean Water Action).
sort your waste
Let’s Talk (about) Trash
Landfills pollute the water, soil, and air, and the communities that live nearby landfills have higher rates of cancer and childhood asthma as a result.
- Designate separate waste bags for landfill, recycling, and compost (if available) 🗑️
- Print the applicable waste sorting signs 🖨️
For festival camping without composting available to campers, download and print this sign.
For festival camping with composting available to campers, download and print these signs. - Review how to sort waste with your camp 👩🏫
Beware of contamination
Contamination is waste that was not sorted correctly, such as a candy wrapper in a compost bin ⚠️
If there are too many contaminants in a recycling or compost bag, the entire bag will be landfilled 😳
Recyclables should be mostly clean before being recycled.
