The Yosemite National Park campgrounds were closed in the middle of a foul tide of garbage and human waste at the origin of the partial closure of the federal government.
The toilets and park visitor centers in California have been closed since December 22, when the partial closure of the government began, reported the Los Angeles Times. Garbage collection was also suspended at the park, but remained open. But Monday, feces and garbage were beginning to overwhelm Yosemite and other national parks.
"Closed toilets, some visitors choose to dump their waste in natural areas adjacent to high traffic areas, which is a health hazard to other visitors," said Parks Department spokesman Andrew Munoz, at the Los Angeles Times.
