The Basics

ALWAYS CARRY A BAG AND USE IT

This way,when you have finished that drink, energy bar, chewing gum, or packet of crisps, you don’t have to hold on to the wrapper until you find a solution. It’s there already - hanging from your shoulders.


NEVER LET ANYTHING HIT THE GROUND

This applies everywhere in Tankwa Town – in your camp, at a Theme Camp, on a dancefloor, anywhere!

SECURE EVERYTHING IN YOUR CAMP

You never know when a windstorm is going to happen.

If everything in your camp is secure at all times, nothing will blow away. Have bins with lids. Many red scores on our MOOP map are from micro MOOP left in a camp. Duct tape old 5-litre water containers with small holes cut out onto your tent poles for convenient micro MOOP capture. SMOKERS - CARRY A PORTABLE ASHTRAY

SMOKERS - CARRY A PORTABLE ASHTRAY

Always have a small container for your stompies and spent matches. They make great gifts - bring extra and give them away.


RESPECT THE DESERT FLOOR

Do not sweep the desert floor. Not for your artwork, not for your camp (you can move big rocks, but no sweeping). Desert rocks and stones don’t magically put themselves back into place once you’ve left. Those scars stay forever.

Do not dig any holes for your grey water or for your own toilets on your camp site.

NO DIGGING OF HOLES

Unless it’s a part of an artwork’s supporting structure, any holes that are dug by art crews must always be filled in again.


IF YOU SEE MOOP - PICK IT UP

If you see MOOP on the ground in Tankwa Town, please pick it up and take it with you.

NO TRASH IN THE TOILETS

Please don’t put anything other than human waste and the one-ply toilet paper supplied into the toilets. Any foreign objects in the tank/s can break or destroy our toilet pumps. Please make sure your scarf, glasses, shirt or any other objects don’t fall in!

GOT A GENERATOR?

Soundproof it using non-flammable materials – but be sure you don’t cover the exhaust or air intake. Alternately, go green by not bringing a generator (rather get solar panels, deep cycle batteries and an inverter to do the same job).

NOTE: Generators cannot be run between 7am and 11am on Monday to Thursday of our event week.

SECURE YOUR LOAD

When leaving, pack carefully and make sure your rubbish and other items do not come loose on the ride home and litter the highways. Hunt about for large feedbags or sugar bags to put your black bags in. They’re tough enough to withstand high-speed winds as you head home on the R355. Once you have packed your load, secure it with bungee cords, ratchet straps or rope – whatever you use, make sure your load cannot come off under any circumstances. To check that it stays put, pull over every now and then and check, and re-secure it (because the R355 is famous for rattling things loose).

Don't dump your rubbish, or your RV / campervan grey water, or blue water (i.e: chemically-treated toilet effluent) on the R355 on the way out. Don’t dump anywhere - not on farm roads, not picnic spots and not even in the bins – the desert wind shreds everything, and sends MOOP miles downwind.
