Leave No Trace
PolyParadise
has always prided itself on its Cleanup &
Recycle efforts. Placement/Resto has
contacted us on 2025 MOOP. It looks like we
MISSED
A FEW ALUMINUM TENT SPIKES & A FEW SPOTS OF
DIRTY PLAYA (PAINT FLEKS - FUEL LEAK). As of
this writing the
2025 MOOP Map has not been released
for all of BRC.
The hope would have been that we would have
been ALL Green!! for
our
300'x250' (1.72 acre) allocated space.
Thanks to all that were part of the Volunteeratoldism job of LNT & to all that MOOPED all week and to the six campers that stayed on into Tuesday afternoon and being the last off the Playa and for making sure that our LNT efforts would in fact be as GREEN as possible!!
We WILL to strive for ALL GREEN in 2026!!!
We can ALWAYS be more MOOP vigilant; not just in our own camp space but Playa-Wide. Remember it is MOOP if it is not Playa. That is the definition of Leave No Trace. Overall we did an amazing job - thanks to all that assisted in Never Letting It Hit the Ground!!! Thank you to everybody that stayed for teardown and beyond.
GLASS - Can't be avoided all together though we can try our best to limit the amount of glass we each bring to BRC and of course we can do better in attempting to coral that glass menace. Will be looking into other options as a container for all the glass in the garbage area to limit this issue as a MOOP issue going forward.
In 2023 we had several visits from the Earth Guardians & BLM concerning Fuel containment and the overall # of gallons of fuel within camp. In 2022 we purchased (4) 30G fuel containment containers. These worked great in dispensing fuel; but also made transport to BRC a much easier. Dispensing fuel to 5G containers as needed worked great. The 30G fuel containment units were placed inside large kiddy pools as well as fenced in with plastic orange fencing.
With the shared rental of the 26' container we used the container as the back plate of a trapezoid shaped orange fenced area for Fuel containment. The edge of the fuel containment area bounded the service road. This would take care of the 2023 issue brought up by Earth Guardians/BLM concerning the total # of Gallons of fuel for the entire camp. There is a 'Rule' that the total # of Gallons of fuel cannot exceed 110G.
Going forward; if you bring 5G gas containers for your RV or personal generator; these gas containers will need to be Labeled with YOUR NAME & STORED within these two fuel containment areas. If you need to FILL your RV or personal generator you will need to go to the fuel containment area - transport that gas can to your RV/Generator & fill said engine and then RETURN the gas can back to the fuel containment area; even EMPTY gas cans must be returned to the fuel containment area. If a gas can is found left next to or near your RV or living space aka NOT RETURNED to the fuel containment area it will be confiscated and be used as camp gas for the camps generator consumption.
This new rule was added to our Survival Guide; messaged to all those specifically bringing RV's
For 2024 a new rule was implemented that Fire Blankets were required for fuel containment - we purchased them and had them hanging on the orange fencing. With all the changes we implemented per 2023 Earth Guardians & BLM visits.
We did have (2) visits from BLM officials - The first one was Thursday of setup. At that time we did not have the fuel area fenced off as well as the Gasoline & Propane Tanks were next to each other. We were told that we needed to get the area fenced (contained) as well as put at least 30' between the gasoline & propane areas. We were again visited on Saturday of setup (In the Morning) that is important cause well you know what happened ~4p!! Anyway on the 2nd visit we had constructed the fenced area and had the Gasoline & Propane separated that satisfied the BLM officials. We did not receive any other visits from Earth Guardians/BLM Officials concerning Fuel Containment.
PolyParadise has an appointed Camp Volunteers who will coordinate the efforts of all Camp Members in following the LEAVE NO TRACE rule of BM, and coordinate with the campers that have been assigned Garbage duty via our Volunteeratoldism model prior to leaving the event and our campsite looking for and picking up MOOP (Matter Out of Place).
Each camp member is expected to take some Community Trash home with them and to dispose of it in the proper manner in an appropriate facility or container when you return to your respective home locations.

You are expected to donate at least 2 hours of your time before you leave the Playa to cleanup of the PolyParadise site as well as the general state of BRC.
