Carry in, carry out philosophy.

Waste Management in Fly Camps

Reconnaissance exploration is done from mobile fly-camps that are moved every few days. Accommodation is in fly-tents. The core area of the camp is the very basic kitchen area. Field crews wash in streams with biodegradable soap that is supplied to each person by the Company. A basic, dry latrine is dug at each fly-camp and is covered with soil when the camp is moved. Biodegradable waste is buried and covered with earth when the camp is abandoned, and all other waste, which is accumulated by category as to whether it is recyclable, biohazard, toxic (batteries), used cooking oil, is carried out from each camp, typically by mule, and then is flown out for disposal in municipal facilities.
