The map that keeps Burning Man honest

Burning Man's MOOP (Matter Out of Place) Map is a detailed, color-coded tool used by the event's Environmental Restoration team to track and remove debris from Nevada's Black Rock City playa post-event. The map ensures compliance with strict Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cleanup standards, drives community improvement in Leave No Trace practices, and holds camps accountable, with data showing steady progress over two decades despite growing event size.
