2010 Reno-Sparks-Wadsworth Recycling Project

Friday, August 27 through Wednesday, September 8 - Open 24 Hours

This marks the fourth, evolutionary year of this initiative in support of recycling for burners during and following Burning Man.

ACCEPTED RECYCLABLES: Plastics (SPI 1,2,3,4,& 5), glass, all metals (aluminum, tin, steel, brass, etc.), paper, cardboard, plastic bags, household (rechargeable and disposable) batteries, bicycles, and non-perishable food and water.

Simply drive into the parking lot and sort and deposit your recyclables into the appropriate containers. Please have your recyclables as clean as possible and remove from bags before depositing.

Disposal of non-recyclable waste will also be available for recyclers at approximately $3 per standard 35-gallon trash bag.

Proceeds from recyclables, and proceeds beyond expenses for garbage disposal, will be donated to help support new Black Rock Solar installations in the region. Non-perishable food and water will be donated to local Food Banks. Bicycles will be donated to local Kiwanis and American Legion bike projects.

Your participation and care is very much appreciated in this fourth year of a multi-community initiative to promote recycling!

Some of those stations are also the ride=share pick up and they are open before the event, so if you've just bought a bunch o'burn crap, and you get rid of as much packaging as you can and you find a rider...
It's some sort of burner trifecta.
