Live Updates from Black Rock City – Monday, 8/24
The containers “The Dark Tower” (EMHU271293) and “The Monolith” (EMHU269027) have arrived on playa! Come get your stuff if you were on either of them!
We expect all containers *except* “Two Trees of Valinor” to make it to Black Rock City today. It would have been all 5 if not for the fires surrounding Reno, which are endangering the home of at least one of our local truck drivers. Please keep the people of Reno in your thoughts, and be considerate while passing through the area!
Burning Man 2026
Space on the NYC Community Containers to Burning Man 2026 is now available!
If this is your first year using the NYC Community Container, you MUST read through the entire General Info page first so you understand how things work. If you have any questions, you can contact us via email or on Facebook. You can also come talk to us in person at the weekly NYC Burning Man Happy Hour (ask for Dan, Isabeau, or any of the regionals, rangers, and veteran burners that usually come out to HH)
Art Transport Grants
Also check out our Art Transport Grants program, back for its fourth year! lf you’re an artist, register your art piece now so we can reimburse you for its transport cost after the burn! If you are able to donate, we’d love that! This program is fully funded by YOUR generous donations. There will be a suggested but optional donation included during the container sale as well.
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.
