BM26 Load-Out MOVING to Sunday – exact weekend TBD!
Early heads-up that BM26 Load-OUT is MOVING to Sunday!
For now, we are *tentatively* scheduled for Sunday, 9/20, though we *may* yet have to move to Sunday 9/29 instead.
While we usually do our load-out on a Saturday (in order to give everyone some time over the rest of the weekend to deal with their dusty bins) this year we will be MOVING load-out to Sunday, due to active trucking operations going on at the lot in Elizabeth on Saturdays.
HOWEVER, we are NOT YET able to confirm the exact weekend! Due to driver shortages in Reno, two of our containers did not get off playa until Thursday last week. While this should still be enough time for all containers to make it back in time for load-out on Sunday 9/20, we won’t know for sure until later this week, after all containers have passed the crucial bottleneck of the Chicago Rail Interchange.
We will keep you posted for more details as soon as we have them, and expect to be able to confirm the exact date by the middle of this week. For now, we are tentatively scheduled for Sunday, 9/20.

About
NYC Community Container is dedicated to providing low cost transportation for personal items, camp infrastructure, and art projects from New York City to Black Rock City and back.
NYC Community Container is a 501c3 organization (EIN 88-1571820) . We are a community endeavor with the goal of staying as close to at-cost transportation as possible.
Container load-in is a community event and the early start of the burn for many NYC burners where we all come together to help load the containers, including a liberal helping of playa dust that seems to forever permeate the yellow top containers and camping gear of veteran burners.
