RV - Flush It Or Can It?
Just curious, how many of you flush TP down and how many of you put it in the waste basket.

The amount of soiled diapers simply does not compare to the entire population bagging it. There just aren't that many infants compared to non infants. You can throw those wearing Depends into the mix too and they're still not that many people.
Diapers and depends are a necessary evil simply because they can't be flushed. There is no other way. TP is an entirely different story.
We have figured out how to flush TP away and process it vs. putting it in a landfill.
I beg to differ. The amount of baby diapers that go into the garbage would be far more than soiled paper from an rv bathroom. No everyone in the world lives in an RV.
When we raised kids they had cloth diapers and they got washed out in the toilet and the mess wash flushed where it should be. The diapers were then laundered. It is a sign of the times that people are too lazy to do that and yet they still tout themselves as being green and save the planet and keep plastic out of the land fill. Disposables have plastic and they are filled with S---!!
For the record my TP goes in the toilet.Cobra21 wrote:

Bagging the paper makes about as much sense as a 2 story outhouse.
Actually, those used to be quite common. Just sayin
The upper floor was set back about 2' from the lower floor. They
were very unique and functional.

....And now they are obsolete. We figured out how to flush stuff down the drain and never looked back!pira114 wrote:

Brian- We flush ours and no problem in almost 7 yrs fulltime. The trick is plenty of water along with it...... and yes - the guy who pumps the sewer tank( 2,500 gallon) where we are about had a heart attack when he saw baby wipes in the tank. The co-hosts granddaughter had flushed them down the toilet after cleaning up her baby dolls dirty diapers. It causes a problem for their truck and the lines

- The ghost town of Nevada City, MT (located about 2mi west of the “living” ghost town of Virgina City, MT) has a hotel today that has a 2 story outhouse. The 2nd level outhouse is accessible by a catwalk.
- Flush it. Why do anything else ? It will dissolve and go into the dump station when you dump along with the rest of the contents of the tank.

Very common in the business world. Management used the upper level. Employees get the first level and a "bonus."- Flush, I bought the darn thing for a purpose, to live life great and we do...we are not taking bags of pee/poop TP to the dumpster!
