[pct-l] Burying vs Packing Out TP

On another forum, some of us got into an arguement over burying your TP verses packing it out on the PCT.  My own experience was that many packed it out (and some don't use TP at all).  But some of the others claimed that they know of no one who didn't bury theirs while hiking the PCT (obviously we hiked with different kinds of people and didn't hike with each other).

However, I know that in some places on the trail, it is illegal to bury your TP. Yosemite, SEKI, and the San Gorgonio WIlderness in the San Bernardino NF immediately come to my mind since I backpack there often.  Where else are you not allowed to bury?  There are alot of agencies and wilderness areas, so its a pain to go through all of them, but I figured people here should know their own local areas.
