Immediate report of Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1988-89: VUWAE 33
Garbage Disposal
Garbage Disposal
All garbage from the expedition was sorted into "Burnable" and "Non Burnable" bags and back-loaded to Scott Base. Smoke canisters found through the valley were recovered and included in our non-burnable rubbish. Several depots of rubbish (obviously old campsites) were located in the valley. Where possible this rubbish (mainly rusty tins) was collected and returned to Scott Base. Further sites will be tidied during the 1989-90 season.
Human waste from the field toilet was double bagged and returned to Scott Base for further disposal.
