Police say there's been an alarming rise in urine-filled plastic containers found along a three-mile stretch of Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon.
A litter crew for the Oregon Department of Transportation picked up an estimated 200-300 urine filled plastic bottles, along the highway, about half of which were found in a short stretch dubbed "Three Mile Hill."
"This area is prone to this problem because commercial trucks are driving at a slow speed and drivers can urinate into bottles and toss them out the window."
Reese said commercial truck drivers told him the price of fuel may be causing drivers to travel slower than normal to save fuel while at the same time passing rest areas or truck stops.
The problem, called improperly disposing of human waste, is a misdemeanor and offenders may be arrested, taken to jail and fined up to $250, police said.
Police said all the drivers they talked to unanimously said throwing bottles of urine out of moving vehicle windows is disgusting and not professional.

Why does everyone hate urine so much? It is perfectly sterile, and in an emergency can be drank up to 3 times before becoming toxic to the body (depending initial hydration level).
In countries such as india, they drink urine as a cure all for many diseases. It was so popular at some point that people joked indian arlines would offer you "coffee, tea, or pee".
I'll post a link at some point.

OK, peeing in the bottle is fine, but why not just close the bottle up and pour it down the toilet later?
