We don’t know why or how this situation got so out of control. Oil stain, dirty mattress, broken furniture and jugs of ? This evap pond was apparently just a tarp with a berm around it, causing greywater to soak directly into the playa. It may be the worst impact we’ve ever seen a camp leave on the playa.

As a result, the camp abandoned a 4-foot-high “mountain” of trash a broken shade structure a rolled-up tent a dirty mattress burn barrels full of ash lumber big oil and greywater stains jugs of mystery fluids and an array of smaller items.

When a camp’s moop plan fails This pile of trash, not all of it bagged, is at least four feet high.Ĭampers at Gypsy Flower Power International (a theme camp at 4:20 & Haifa) seem to have found themselves in an extraordinarily moopy situation, when their planned infrastructure apparently failed. The X’s don’t represent the size or impact of the abandoned moop-just its location. Could be a greywater jug, a couch, a tent or just the tent stakes. So what does each of the red X’s represent? It could be garbage bags. Please be patient: these are simply the results of our very first sweep through the city, and we have much more work to do before we can pass detailed information along. If you are a theme camp, your Placement representative may have more detailed information for you in a few months (when the entire Moop Map is finalized). We’re not posting details of what was found in each spot. This year, for the first time, we’re releasing the map of abandoned moop.
But we do keep track of what we find, and where-and we do add large abandoned items to the Moop Map. The DPW Playa Restoration crew has immense respect for each Burner’s contributions, and we understand how and why things get left behind. As a community, Burning Man does a fantastic job of Leaving No Trace. Traditionally, we haven’t talked much about abandoned moop on this blog. With no trash collection on playa and no easy way to make multiple trips, sometimes things just…get left behind. When it’s time to go, and you can’t take it all with you, what can you do? Your neighbors can help, to a point-but their vehicles are packed to the roof, too.
This is where the Leave No Trace principle gets sticky. Sometimes, the stuff that packed so neatly in the dust-free world just doesn’t fold up very well after a week on the playa. Camp members depart early, leaving shade structures and kitchens for their friends. You may have experienced something like this: When Burning Man is over, you find yourself with more possessions than you can carry out. It can be an enlightening, contemplative, or even challenging experience-but however we feel about leaving, our homes, jobs, and people are calling us back. Each year, with columns of smoke still rising from the ashes of our shared experience, we pack our dusty belongings, dusty bodies and dustier dreams for our return to civilization.

We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. The Burning Man community respects the environment.
