Personally,  I burn my TP, wait until all the embers are out and  bury any ash residue.  I feel strongly that used TP, even if one buries i,t does not belong in the wilderness areas.  Animals will often dig up the used TP and spread it around.

I wonder how many PCT hikers carry their TP out when "Pooping in 
Yosemite?"  I would hope that the outhouses at Sonora Pass are filled 
with honorably carried PCT hiker toilet paper...
