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 ONE (1) Bag 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 one bag of trash. During the week the TRASH CZAR 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 CZAR 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, here are some alternative places you can rid yourself of your bag.
