Waste at Camporee

Camporee's garbage bin only accepts non-hazardous waste that can't be recycled or composted. Take everything else home.

At Scouts Canada's large events like Camporee, aim for zero garbage. This is part of our Leave No Trace outdoor ethos.

Take the time to plan ahead so you aren't producing garbage at camp. Challenge your section to have a zero-garbage camp.

REMEMBER - sections must sweep their campsite together for waste - youth and adults - before any section member departs from camp.

This is washing water and teeth-brushing water.

Filter out solid food. Use a sieve, or cheesecloth with an elastic over a container for your greywater.
Dispose of solids in your compost bin.
Pour out filtered water into one of Apple Hill's grey water cisterns. They are blue barrels located beside most kybos.

Do NOT put grey water in the kybos.

Food waste, and food-soiled paper products. And facial tissues.

Paper

Plastic packaging

Foam packaging

Metal

There is no Orange Drop at Camporee any more. Propane Cylinders can be disposed of via Household Hazardous Waste programs.

Propane Cylinders, Fire Extinguishers, batteries, chemicals, medical sharps.

Examples:

Diapers, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, cotton swabs, and bandages.

Broken ceramics/dishes, mirrors, window glass, and toys.

This waste may be placed in the dumpster at the south end of the parking lot. If the dumpster is full, take your waste home, do not leave beside dumpster.
