Is there a map of all the moop picked up at various addresses? I know there was one for 2010. Is there one for 2011? I would so love to see how our camp did. We tried real hard to keep on top of it.

This was my first year and I know I can do better than I did last year. All those itty-bitty things that you don’t even notice you are just flicking away. It’s a lesson in mindfulness, eh?

It looked like a lot of stuff piled up in that dumpster but, my goodness, that was a lot of people and a lot of ground. You guys are my heroes. Thanks so much. Until 2012… thanks again for all your hard work.

So many glowsticks in the moop pile! So much waste! People, please consider investing in re-usable lights.

Found a bunch of moop 4×10 foot galvanized pipe that I could not pick up (no room in my rig) at

Lat N40deg47′ 49.6″
Long W119deg06″ 56.1″

I pick-up all the wood and much of the other material around this site it looks like an art installation that was packed up but some stuff got left behind.

The rest of the BM site look very clean I could not believe how much no trace meet good work. E-mail and I will provide pics and video of what I found

Thank you to the hardcores who stay behind to clean up. You are the best! Wouldn’t it be nice for smokers to figure out their butts are litter?

This needs to be hammered home better next year! Please have your BRC greeters go over MOOP guidelines as people enter/during search time.

I will respond to the numerous questions regarding the survey flags and other “DPW” related materials…
…This year, we actually sorted through all of the moop as we picked it up. If something was non-participant related (survey flags, pink “floofies” at the art sites, etc.), we threw them into a separate dumpster so we could have a more realistic view of what was actually left behind by participants without tainting the evidence with our own “infrastructural trash”. We know the flags, t-stakes and everything else are out there – we put it there, and we go back to pick it up (if it hasn’t been picked up already)… It’s all part of the plan.
On top of that, the dumpster might not seem very full, but it takes a lot of cigarette butts, pieces of string, glow stick connectors and wood chips to fill up a dumpster… Whenever we Do find big things (2x4s, etc.), we feel like we’ve “saved” Burning Man, and it Is evidence of some things people leave behind.
Thanks for the support. It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it.
