If you want to be an outdoor waste "master"...here you go
Minimizing Impact and Random Acts of Kindness for the Environment: Human Waste
Small groups. Small groups should use the cat hole method for human waste disposal: using your heel, a flat rock or small scoop, make a shallow hole in the forest duff. Before doing so, be sure that you are over 200 feet from water sources. Once finished, mix the top organic layer of soil thoroughly with the feces (which greatly aids the decomposition process) and bury.
Toilet paper. If you have a fire burning, throw the toilet paper into the fire. Some people recommend burning toilet paper on site, but I emphatically disagree. Burn it on site only during very wet weather or in the winter. Never, never burn toilet paper during dry conditions. A number of large forest fires have started simply by people burning their toilet paper. The best way of dealing with used toilet paper is to unravel it and mix it with the feces and organic soil. Then Bury it. Toilet paper, after all, is a wood product and will eventually decompose.
Desert Environments. Very little decomposition takes place in the desert, and what does take place is greatly assisted by the sun. Thus it's important to not bury human waste very deeply. For human waste disposal, find a place out of the way, flatten out the feces with a stick or rock, and bury them under a thin layer of soil. Toilet paper should be burned (but only if very safe) or placed in a plastic bag and carried out.
Sea Kayaking. In coastal areas, scoop out a shallow hole in the intertidal zone. Once the water comes up, the ocean will do the rest.
Rivers. Because the same campsites are used day after day all summer long, many agencies which manage western rivers require that you take along portable toilets and carry out all of your human waste. Check the regulations before starting your trip.
Larger Groups: Latrines. Use a latrine with larger groups (which means you won't be in a wilderness area). A proper latrine should be constructed so it is wider than it is deep: about foot in depth and two feet wide. After each person uses it, the feces should be mixed with organic soil from the very top of the hole. Before you leave, bury everything.
Tampons. No matter what style of disposing of human waste, never bury tampons. Always carry them out. Triple bag them and use a broken tea bag or crushed aspirin to cut back odor. If you have a fire, they can be burned, but after burning them, pull out the charred remains, bag it and carry it out.
