It is always the policy of The Gates village to make every attempt to maintain the playa by not only adhearing to the rules set out by Burning Man, but the general rules of outdoor partying as well. Such things include: "never hit the ground" trash policy, grey water reclamation or removal, restoration of the land to original condition, and follow-up sweeps for remannts left by the less educated.
Each camper will be asked to separate trash, recycle those materials appropriate to re-use, and to performa a full sweep of the area before leaving.
