Some attendees share their experiences with the cleanup process:
From my experience, people are pretty good about cleaning up. The first year I went I camped solo, so I theoretically could have left a bunch of crap, but I didn’t.
Others note the challenges posed by weather conditions:
Last year was tough – it rained for hours 5 nights in a row and the first rain night was accompanied by 70 mile an hour winds that did a massive amount of damage to camp infrastructure throughout the city.
Despite these challenges, the community comes together to maintain a clean environment:
So a giant party can clean up after itself, but 4th of July in Tahoe for example is a toxic mess. I wish more people would practice these principles.
