Should toilet paper be provided in public toilets?

At present, many public toilets do not provide toilet paper. Although it is not convenient for everyone, it can save resources. The public toilets in Chengdu provide toilet paper, and 1500 rolls of toilet paper are used in seven days. Whether it is a quality problem or a management problem remains to be studied~

On April 1 this year, a 'toilet revolution' aimed at improving the experience of urban public service was launched in Chengdu. According to the goal, all scenic spots will be equipped with toilet paper and hand sanitizer by May 1. Half a month later, have the new facilities, new environment and new experience achieved the desired results? The reporter learned from the people's park that some tourists' waste and 'smooth' toilet paper have become the primary embarrassment of the people's Park, and the park has set a record of 1500 rolls of toilet paper consumed in seven days.

On the 15th, the reporter visited the people's Park and found that the brand-new lavatory and dryer had been installed in all the five public toilets in the park and were in normal use. However, half of the hand cartons in the 18 squatting positions in the East Gate women's toilet were empty. Feng Huiling, Secretary of the Party branch of the people's Park, explained that the first 1500 rolls of toilet paper had been consumed within seven days, and a new batch would be delivered in the afternoon for real-time replenishment.

Seven days 1500 rolls, how did this record be created? Feng Huiling told reporters that the park found that tourists waste and steal toilet paper seriously. After the installation of toilet paper boxes in Nanmen public toilets, the park conducted an experiment. The newly installed toilet paper boxes in 30 squatting positions were all empty after one and a half hours. It is worth noting that during the period of "out of stock" of free toilet paper, in order to meet the needs of tourists, a paper towel stall was set up outside the East Gate public toilet. According to the staff, without free toilet paper, only seven or eight packages of free toilet paper were sold a day.

Method: install face recognition machine?

Face recognition through the screen, the lower part of the machine will automatically out of the paper, the length of the paper is about 60 cm, the same person can pick up the paper every 9 minutes.

At the end of a week, the human and capital costs of the people's Park are a little overburdened. Feng Huiling admitted that if there is no improvement in the waste and theft of tourists after a few months, the park will consider giving up providing toilet paper for each squatting position and installing a public toilet paper box at the entrance instead. If it still doesn't work, people's Park may learn from Beijing Tiantan Park and install face recognition toilet paper machine. It is understood that standing in a specific recognition area, the face recognition toilet paper machine recognizes the face through the screen, and then the lower part of the machine will automatically take out the paper with a length of about 60 cm. The same person can only take out the paper every 9 minutes. After the use of Tiantan Park, the usage of toilet paper in Nanmen public toilet, which has a large number of tourists, has dropped from 20 rolls to 4 rolls per day.
