We were told to put as little solid material in the black tank as possible. We use the camp facilities if we can, and have a waste bin for paper. We almost never dry camp or use primitive camp sites.

I've always thought that getting rid of toilet paper separately is for "leave no trace" deep woods camping - where you might be burying your black tank waste.

I don't see toilet paper "filling" your black tank unless you really use a lot of it.
It is another way to do things, and it if works for you, then it works!
