Dear Group:
So everyone can learn from our mistakes, okay? There a better way...but our
experience was:
Boy Scout Troop 96 planned ahead and took the advice of SpeedWeek officials
to place over 50 properly Labeled & Special Purpose (round holes in top of
for aluminum cans only) Collection Containers with plastic liners at strategic
locations (see grey container to the right of outhouse in picture below).
We even had a roll-off strategically placed on the salt with cooperation of
everyone, including security.
Scouts got in free and all the cooperation of everyone was outstanding with
early preparation, so it was announced at every opportunity of the Boy Scout
Aluminum Can Collection Project: _http://www.savethesaltflats.com/page5.html_
(http://www.savethesaltflats.com/page5.html) (bottom of page you can see
these photos):
In conclusion, we ended up with dirty garbage mixed in with a few cans in
the special purpose aluminum can collection containers. lol
The roll-off ended up with wild car parts, including a roll of carpet +
regular garbage. The taller Boy Scout is 6'5" so you can see how much effort
it
took to overlook the signs saying "Please, Aluminum Cans Only" lol
We discovered at least three participant/spectator groups who collect
aluminum cans yearly. lol
Dumpsters sizes weren't available, nor as easy to move as a roll-off for the
nearest recycle facility was SLC & Ogden. lol
Dare you to guess what the out of pocket expenses were? lol

I know others are working very hard to gather funds through donations
for the Save the Salt program. HAs anyone considered just gathering the
aluminum cans from the meets in August, Sept and October? Is this
already being done? Seems like we could have a few smaller bins in the
pits which announce that the cans go to a good purpose. Cans could then
be taken to a recycler for weighing and crushing and whatever else
happens to used cans... How about if each pit had a specific can bag?
And they dumped the can bag daily or however often into the collection
bin(s). Make it a prt of the instructions for entry into these events.
Just a thought
