      The sign implies the bin is for anything besides human feces. Human pee would be fine. As would dog semen. And dog feces. And dog blood. Hell you could put a whole dog in the bin as long as it has no human feces.

        Actually it doesn’t specify human anything, it just says “number 2” which, logically, would encompass fecal matter from all species that have separate tracts for urine and feces.

        Therefore, one could surmise that only feces from species with a single tract, such as birds or fish, would be acceptable to place in the bin.

      I mean you still don’t put the whole dump in the bin though, just the paper you used. Pretty common in a lot of countries.

        Saw a sign saying “dont throw toilet paper into the toilet” in a middle eastern country last summer and was very confused.

            Toilet paper also requires specific processing of the waste water. It’s normally screened off and sent to landfill when it reaches the treatment plant, but I imagine many countries wouldn’t have this infrastructure.

              In the USA anyway toilet paper is legally required to dissolve in water within a certain time frame. Maybe this is not the case in other countries

                It’s still screened off and sent to landfil. “dissolve” isn’t really possible with paper, just breaking into smaller parts.

                I’m no expert, but I’m guessing the rules are about the pipes between flushing and treatment, as I can imagine a slurry of toilet paper bits is a lot less likely to create blockages than a mountain of wet wipes.

                  Yes, that makes sense. Not dissolve in the technical sense of form a solution in water, but more of the layperson sense of “disintegrate” into that paper slurrey and not cause blockages in pipes.

                  We all know that if you have too much paper and not enough water, it will block a pipe. But given typical usage, it should be safe for USA-code pipes since it disintegrates into that “slurrey.”

                  TIL that the water treatment plant screens it out and disposes of it! I imagine this is part of the process where they screen out other solids as well

            it is more about the disgrace it makes water treatment, it clogs the treatment system, making the costs of treating the water much higher

      At that point just put all your biohazardous bodily excretions & secretions into the toilet. Then see your doctor.

    I’ve heard of places where they have you put the used tp in a trash can because the plumbing can’t handle it.

    But aside from that, and from tossing a dirty diaper in the trash can, I can’t imagine how else you might wind up putting the poop anywhere other than the toilet.

    I have wondered about printing out signs like this and sticking them up at work. But going way further.

    No shitting in the sink! We have been through this!

    We occasionally have external people in who use it, they would be the main target.

    Just because you found this in a workplace toilet doesn’t mean the workplace put it there.

    Great way to troll your fellow workers. Especially if you make the inverse of this sign and replace only some of the copies.

    I once worked at a place where we had to put signs up telling people not to put paper towels in the urinals. Three of us had a coordinated investigation going on to figure out who was doing it, we were down to only two or three suspects before the signs went up.
