IF there is a garbage can. If you come out West, keep in mind that many remote sites are "Pack It In, Pack It Out" areas. You must take all your trash home with you, the campgrounds have no garbage service and no dump station.
"Primitive" camping at its finest!
Just the way we like it.
Much rather cart a trash bag with me than not have anywhere to put water or black waste.
THAT is why I keep mentioning the fact that VERY FEW Forest Service campgrounds out here have dump stations (actually I don't recall seeing ANY), and very few have trash pickup (I know of a couple, near Red Lodge).
I have seen a tourist in a campground with a full tote and no place to dump it. He was VERY frustrated. I think he had a family member help him lift it up and dump it into a vault toilet (that's illegal!).
For those who just can't conserve water, if you come out West I strongly recommend that you limit yourself to commercial full hook up RV parks. Avoid Forest Service campgrounds and State Parks, you won't be happy there for more than a day.
