On Cycle Oregon, Roto-Rooter dealt with the “blue rooms.” They were pumped out by septic tank trucks. No idea where they emptied the trucks.
The worst part about so many of them is that if you were camped anywhere near a group, you were often woken at night by people letting the doors slam despite requests at the evening meetings that they not do so.
Don’t ask me why, but one year I had some yellow Post-It Notes on me. One night we had to camp close to a bank of them. I wrote reminder notes and stuck them on the doors. Limited effect.
