Waste Management
 
If you are camping in a managed campground, then dispose waste in the designated trash recepticles.  Most managed sites will have restroom facilities.  If you are camping in a non managed site, or in the wilderness, keep the following tips in mind:
 
  • No waste should ever be discarded into a lake, stream or river. 
  • If the ground is not frozen, all body waste and camp refuse should be buried immediately. 
  • Burying your waste immediately will keep flies and bugs from landing on the waste and then contaminating your food. 
  • The smell of food waste will attract wildlife, so disposing of it immediately will cut down on the odor, and will keep uninvited guests from visiting your campsite. 
  • Your waste disposal site should be located well away from your main camp area – at least one hundred yards.
  • Remember to pack a camp shovel.
