COMPOSTING TOILET
Fowler & C-Scape dune shacks have composting toilets. The manufacturer guarantees its virtually odorless operation if the following procedures are followed.
Daily: add 1/2 cup of peat moss per person per day directly through the bowl.
Daily: Pull the TOP BAR, the "aerator" bar back and forth a few times to agitate the mass. DO NOT PULL THE BOTTOM RAKE BAR. This bar is used when we empty the system at the end of the season.
Cleaning: Please clean the toilet frequently as needed:
1. Spray the inside of the bowl with a mild soap and a small amount of water.
2. Clean the bowl as you would a ceramic toilet. The bowl removes for easy cleaning.
Toilet Paper: Use only SINGLE-PLY TOILET PAPER and do not put anything else in the toilet. Plastic bags for the disposal of toilet paper are provided.

WATER:
Drinking water will be in plastic jugs in the kitchen. This water is from the Provincetown water system. Please do not use this water for cleaning or showering.
At C-Scape washing water is available from the hand pump located in the center of the circular driveway. It is important that you know how to use the pump.
Please conserve water.

RECYCLING:
We are committed to reducing the amount of waste generated during your stay at Fowler or C-Scape. To that end, we provide used plastic grocery bags (no new trash bags will be provided). Likewise, please keep your recyclable plastic (with the number 2 stamped on the bottom), glass and metal separated to be recycled at the Provincetown Transfer Station. We cannot recycle any othet plastic or food scraps but you are encouraged to take the home with you.

BEACH ACCESS
There is no direct access for vehicles from the shack to the beach. Foot passage should only be along previously travelled paths. Do not disturb plover nesting areas and do not forge any new trails.

According to our agreement with the National Seashore, no pets will be allowed at the dune shack at any time. Pets at the shack will result in immediate termination of the lease agreement.

Dune Shack Etiquette: Please respect the privacy of other shack dwellers. When hiking through the dunes please keep a respectful distance from other shacks.
