At Mount Shasta, in the People's Republic of California, hikers are now required to pack out their own excrement. Hikers are given a plastic bag and a set of instructions with a bull's eye on the back to be used for proper aiming.
The AP adds that "rangers estimate over the last four years, visitors have hauled out 10 tons of their own waste." There is no mention of how the rangers arrived at this figure.
