Or think about getting a container from the porta-potty people.

several options:

1. use food coloring to tint the water some color other than grey. As long as its not grey water, its okay to dump directly onto the playa.

2. camp near the porta potties and use a 3 inch pipe and sub-pump to transport your greywater directly into the porta potties.

3. camp near Astral Headwash and gift their evaporation pond each night with several hundred gallons of greywater. I've heard they draw from the evaporation ponds when they need extra water for rinsing heads.

4. dont believe a damn thing I tell ya.

The earth angels or guardian angels or some other angel fantasy camps on or near the esplanade every year. Their big deal is caring for the earth or the playa or whatever - dump your greywater there every night. They'll care enough to clean it up for you.

500 bucks and they will drop off a big empty container that you fill with gray water. they haul it away at the end of the week. if you have a really big camp ( 100 plus people) it is the only rational way to go...
