Theme camp recycling bins

Theme camps are offered a recycling bin that only their camp uses. Larger camps get one each; small neighbouring camps share one.

  1. Camp pays a deposit Returned once the bin passes inspection.
  2. Camp collects the bin from the PEEPS That's where bins are delivered to.
  3. Camp returns it to the PEEPS At the end of the event.
  4. LBT inspects it The deposit is returned if Hurn will accept the contents, with nothing dirty or unrecyclable in it.
