Any tips on how I can avoid creating MOOP?

  • Carry a MOOP bag. Wherever you go, carry a small bag to collect any MOOP you generate or find. You can, of course, customize your MOOP bag to make it a part of your playa wear. 
  • Weigh items down/don’t let them blow away: put a weight on or tie down anything that can blow away. 
  • If you’re a smoker, carry a portable ashtray such as a tin (mint) can with you at all times. Or put butts in your pocket. Never, ever drop butts on the ground. 
  • Ask permission before using a camp recycle station if you are not camping with them. Some camps will only be able to deal with their own campers’ rubbish. Separate recycling into glass, plastic & aluminum and cardboard/paper. 
  • Do not let bins overflow to avoid MOOP getting out of hand. 
  • NEVER burn rubbish! Take it to the waste disposal site once you leave the event terrain.
