In certain parts of Latin America toilets, or sewer systems, are not built to handle toilet tissue. They will back up and flood the bathroom. Because of this many public bathrooms caution users to discard their used toilet paper in wastebaskets or, if no special receptacles are provided, in the corner of the room. This is a revolting practice to those not accustomed to it.
The posted sign above is commonly found in public toilets.
If you must use a public toilet it is best to use it early in the day. By late afternoon you will need a gas mask to enter one of these facilities.
