Power

• Prohibited:
  • Generators (RV or standalone)
  • Traditional AC’s (except RV)
  • Microwaves, hair dryers, heaters, refrigerators, freezers or other high power drawing appliances.
  • Open flames
  • Stockpiling fuel or gas
• Allowed:
  • Swamp cooler (no hose hookups / manual-fill only, because of leak risk).
• Each camper is required to bring their own 50-foot grounded outdoor-rated extension cord of 14 wire gauge or greater to extend power into their own tent. Like this one.

Showers

• For 2025, the allotment per camper for the duration of the Burn is 10 minutes.
  • Allocate this time as you’d like.
  • For example, you can take as many as ten 1 minute showers or as few as one 10 minute shower.
• Washing long hair NOT recommended! Use a bucket, or find a shampoo camp (there are several).
• ONLY bring Castille soap or other biodegradable, low foam soap/body wash. Otherwise the suds will become a nightmare.
  • Dr. Bronners is a preferred soap for many campers.
• PLEASE don't lose your wristband!
• NO PEEING IN THE SHOWERS

Gray Water Disposal

• Campers can brush their teeth at the sink/water bottle filling station, the gray water will go down the drain into the shower drain bin.
• This is the ONLY acceptable repository for grey water.
• Do NOT dump it in the portos

Private Porto

• Allowed in porto:
  • Human waste.
  • one-ply toilet paper (2-ply or other kinds of toilet paper damages USS servicing equipment).
• NOT Allowed in porto:
  • Tampons
  • Trash
  • Hand wipes, baby wipes
  • Anything other than human waste and one-ply toilet paper.
  • Grey water: doing so will fill them up much faster than normal, making for nasty toilets. For proper disposal of your grey water, see Gray Water Disposal
• IF IT WASN’T MADE BY YOUR BODY, DON’T PUT IT IN THE POTTY!!
• Put the toilet lid down when you’re done, as it helps keep odors under control.

Camp Kitchen

• There is NO DISHWASHING at camp
  • To eat without needing to wash your dish:
    • Cover your plate in paper foil and then toss it.
    • Lick it clean and then use a sprayer with water and vinegar to wet it, and wipe with paper tower.

  • Microwaves, refrigerators, freezers or other high power drawing appliances. Our power grid will not support this. See Power

Trash / MOOP

• There is NO COMMUNAL TRASH CAN.
• The camp dump is ONLY for the kitchen and shared camp infrastructure.
• MOOP and TRASH is ALL “PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT”.
• Everything needs to leave the Playa with us, full stop!
• Burner Express Bus has space for 2-3 bags of trash per passenger.
  • DO NOT not leave your trash bags on the bus! Take your trash off the bus and dispose properly.
• DO NOT THROW ANY TRASH ON THE ROAD BACK TO RENO
  • Trash must be taken back to Reno and dispose of it properly.
  • This last point is critical for Burning Man to continue as an event in Nevada.
