Folks, I'm truly shocked no one suggested this: have the other members of the household put the toilet paper in the trash! Bink, you said "we" are building a house, so it sounds like there will be at at least one other person besides our mother living with you. So it reduces your septic tank toilet paper load by at least 66%.
Also, at 84 years of age there is a good chance you won't have her living with you long enough to do any damage, especially if she is the only one using an unfortunate choice of toilet paper. So I wouldn't do anything to make her last (hopefully) decade or so too uncomfortable, emotionally or physically.
Concerning what James Dilley said: I have put my toilet paper in the trash in the past, but lately I've gotten a little lazy. My reasoning is that everyone I have ever known who used disposable diapers put them into the trash after use.
What else can you do with them? (We used cloth diapers as much as possible.)Also, what about people who use adult incontinent products like "Attends". I worked in a nursing home for a few months a few years ago, and their incontinent control products were put into the regular trash...
