Cleaning up the local park "bathrooms"

[Vassal 1,471]

Volunteered at a local park last week. It's fairly popular and has a loop road with multiple pull offs. The main complaint was cigarette butts but in walking through the pull offs I ended up finding several side trails leading to a lot of toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and wet wipes discarded on the trail. Obvious spots where ladies sneaked off to pee. Some toilet paper was even in the pull off meaning they squated down right next to the road using only their cars as cover.

I didn't take any pics as that kind of thing doesn't excite me that much but it's fun to imagine in the cases of multiple pieces of toilet papers a bunch of young ladies going all at once. Or even better imagining all that don't wipe.

I'll be doing it again later this month and curious to see how many more bathroom spots I can find.

It would be great to see photos of these places 😉

Like you say, if those are just the ones who wiped, imagine how many have went in the park who didn't come prepared! The park must be well watered.

Wonder if any of the particularly popular spots have any attributes to them, such as being in spots shielded by foliage. Guessing proximity to the main trail is one of them too.

Shame that they have to be removed though, makes me wonder just how many could accumulate in one spot before they start fully disintegrating.

As much as I like the idea, it takes many years for even toilet paper to disintegrated. More so for paper towels, napkins and wet wipes.
