Looking after the Outback.

The Mundi Mundi Plains are stunning, sacred and irreplaceable. We all share the responsibility of keeping them that way, before, during and after the Bash.

Our commitment

Leave the Plains exactly as you found them.

We are guests on this land. The Mundi Mundi Plains are a rare and beautiful part of outback Australia, and every single Basher plays a role in protecting them. Leave No Trace is not just a guideline. It is one of the most important values we hold as a festival community. Pack it in, pack it out. Do not leave a single trace that we were ever here.

Bashers on the Mundi Mundi Plains
How we do it

Sustainability at the Bash.

Sustainability is at the heart of the Bash ethos. Each year, thousands of Bashers come together on the Mundi Mundi Plains, and we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint on the beautiful land that makes this event possible.

269,448 cans in 2025Can and bottle recyclingWe collect aluminium cans and PET plastic bottles separately from general waste, keeping tonnes of recyclables out of landfill every year, including over 29,000 bottle lids last year.
1,040 compost bins in 2025Food waste compostingFood scraps from campsites and vendors go into dedicated compost bins. Nothing organic goes to waste on the Plains.
250,000L water savedComposting toiletsNo chemical portaloos here. Our waterless composting toilets save over 250,000 litres per event. A simple system that is cleaner, greener and better for the outback.
Pack it in, pack it outReduce your rubbishStrip your packaging before you leave home. Bring reusable cups, bottles and bags. The less you bring in, the less there is to carry out.
All vendors on boardEco vendor packagingAll food vendors use eco friendly packaging, so you can enjoy a feed without adding unnecessary waste to the Plains. See the Food page.
Plastic cup free crewCrew leading the wayOur crew and volunteer operations are plastic cup free. All crew kitchen food waste is composted. We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of Bashers.

Recycling in Mundiville

Sort it right. Every time.

Glass is prohibited at the Bash, which means a lot of cans. At the 2025 Bash, we collected over 269,448 aluminium cans. That is more than 25 tonnes kept out of landfill. We also recycled over 29,343 PET plastic bottles and collected over 29,000 bottle lids. None of that happens without Bashers doing the right thing at the bins.

Look for the clearly marked recycling stations around the campground and Plaza. Sort your waste before you bin it.

A note on glass

Leave the glass at home.

Broken glass is one of the most serious safety risks on the Plains, and it has been getting worse every year. One smashed bottle in the red dirt is a danger to our crew, our volunteers, fellow Bashers and their dogs, and it is almost impossible to find and clean up once it shatters. It also cannot be recycled out here, so please help us keep glass off the Plains.

  • There is no glass recycling on site
  • Do not place glass in recycling or general rubbish bins
  • Do not leave glass behind at your campsite
  • Any glass found in the concert area will be confiscated

For drinks, cans and casks only. The one exception is your camp kitchen, where glass items like sauce and condiment jars are fine. Everything else, please leave it at home.

No chemical loos here

Composting toilets.

We use hygienic, odourless composting toilets at the Bash, not chemical portaloos. They save enormous amounts of water, use only environmentally sound cleaning products, and are looked after around the clock by our volunteer dunny angels.

Leave no trace

Not a single one.

The Mundi Mundi Plains do not belong to us. We are lucky to be there. When you roll out on Sunday, your campsite should look exactly as it did when you rolled in. That means every can, every wrapper, every piece of rope, every tent peg. If you brought it, you take it home. This is the Bash way.
