Trash & Recycling

The PSG community prides itself on our respect for nature and the environment.  Please help us reduce our environmental impact by reducing, reusing and recycling whenever possible during the week. 

River Forest will have trash barrels at various locations around the site for you to put your trash in or if a full bag, just beside the trash barrel.  Please do not overstuff the trash barrels!    River Forest staff will pick up trash several times a day.  Please remove trash from your camp daily and don't wait until the last day! 

There is no recycling in the area. Please consider taking your recycling home with you!

Please separate out your trash:

• Consider sorting out your recyclables to take home with you.
• Paper Trash can be either recycled or burned in your firepit, if you have one.  This includes brown paper bags, newspaper, flattened cardboard & paperboard (e.g. juice containers, cereal boxes)
• Regular Trash (food waste, flexible plastic food packaging, foam cups etc) should NOT be burned or placed in recycling. 

Bag your items securely and place them in the trash barrels located around camp.

DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND at the end of the Gathering! Do not leave anything at your campsite, on the side of the road, or at hand-washing stations.
