When you were young, you must have heard many such rumors related to airplanes, which must have scared you. In order to amuse themselves, some children tell the story of taking out their hand from the window of the plane, while others tell the story of spitting paan by opening the door of a flying plane. When people sit in a plane for the first time after growing up, then they understand that all these are just rumours. But one secret related to the plane is very famous among the general public, and even the people who have traveled many times do not know the correct answer. It is a secret that where is the waste that gets accumulated in the plane’s bathroom (Planes empty toilet in oceans?) thrown?
There is a lot of misconception among people about the garbage of the plane, that is, while flying over the sea, mountain or any deserted place, the bathroom of the plane is emptied and the garbage is dropped in the air. If they are flying over the sea, they leave the waste in the water only. If you also believe this to be true, then know that it is not correct. The disposal of waste from the plane does not happen like this.

People replied on social media
a few years ago social media platform quora But people also asked the same question, after which there was a competition to give the correct answer. Quora was asked – “Do planes empty their toilets while flying over an ocean?” Many people have given answers to this question. Raja Kashyap wrote- “No, it is not like that at all. Excreta and urine are not dumped in any sea or lake. When we are done traveling and reach the airport, whatever excrement is there by a machine, it is taken out of the ship and put in the car and it is disposed of.
Prasanna Bhalerao wrote – “No! This is a common misconception. Firstly, they cannot do this, secondly, it is strictly forbidden to do so. Modern long-haul aircraft have sewer tanks with sufficient storage capacity to travel for more than 16 hours. These tanks are later emptied into sewer disposal units at the airport.”
