My brother lived with a friend's family his senior year of high school, after my parents moved to a new city. He said they threw it in the trash can. You're supposed to flush it. TP is made to break down in water, so it's flushable. If your toilet can't handle TP, then you need to call a plumber. Yes, he said it stunk up the whole bathroom. You'd go in, and see the skid-marked paper from the person before you. How nasty!!!
