You can definitely add some telemetry to this that records and analyzes realtime location to "map" the litter, even when using a device like this. The conveyor actually seems very well suited to an external camera that records and analyzes the mess to a degree that should be suitable for the purpose of "recording" litter types and concentrations based on the location, without resorting to manual sweep/dust bins which actually sounds pretty insane at this scale.
replyRight, needs a drone pass for mapping before and after cleaning.
replyNeeding 150 people for weeks to clean up is too labor-intensive. Are they paid?
You’ve missed the point. This is a cultural commitment not a logistics problem to engineer away.
replyThe person you replied to did kindly try to explain to you, but you seem to have ignored it.
If you don’t understand the culture of Burning Man, that’s fine. But maybe don’t callously reduce 150 peoples’ labor of love to “btw just use this machine”.

replyNot entirely.[1] Not all the workers are happy campers. There's a high suicide rate and injury rate.

I've met enough people that have that same attitude towards other people having to clean it.
