    YOU can help us make Beer Camp a Zero-Waste Event!

    1. Bring your reusable water bottle and refill it at one of our many “Water Monster” stations.
    2. Ride your bike (or scooter, or unicycle) to the festival. We’ll protect it overnight if you need to leave it.
    3. Crush those cans! Once you’ve finished a beverage, drop it at one of our recycling stations.
    4. Stay tuned for more tips…
