Trash/Recyclables/Burnables/Composting

Trash

Trash is the biggest challenge at Three Otters. Three Otters provides trash bags and trash cans in all common areas and in all the accommodations. Please close/tie full trash bags and put them in the large grey trash bins located near the Grill Pavilion.
If the bins located next to the Grill Pavilion are full, there are additional large trash bins in the trash holding area behind the big Green Shed that may be used.
- Please take all trash from the Grill Pavilion to the large grey trash bins at the end of every day.

Recycling

Aluminum Cans (e.g., soda cans, beer cans)
- Three Otters has specific container for aluminum cans and recycling in the River Kitchen and outside the Grill Pavillion.
Plastic Water bottles without caps (e.g., water bottles, juice bottles): #1 and #2 plastic only; No caps
Glass is discouraged. Please take with you any bottles of glass (e.g., beer, wine) upon departure. It is preferred that guests use beer cans instead of bottles as there is no glass recycling and reduces the chances of broken glass (especially on the beach and in the river).
Please note that water at Three Otters is drinkable. There is a water treatment system to ensure clean water. Guests are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles and to avoid using plastic disposable cups or plastic water bottles.

Burnables

Please place all paper and cardboard into the burnable bins. Once or twice a day, please burn the paper and cardboard in the fire pit.

Composting

Three Otters composts vegetables, fruits, eggshells and coffee grounds. Do not compost any bread, wheat, or meat as these foods attract critters.
There are composting containers in the Cabin, Grill Pavilion and River Kitchen and a composting bin outside the Grill Pavilion. Please empty the composting containers/bin into the back-right corner of the Garden at least once a day.
