It's during times like these that you learn more about your fellow c'punks than you need to ...
You're correct. I had no clue that the Cypherpunks were such a shitty group.

LA has 1e7 people who shit about a kilo per day. Compute the volume of that after a week.
It's not the raw volume that's critical but rather the percentage of the average personal space per inhabitant versus how much to store a weeks worth. For the average person storing a weeks worth of solid waste in a platic bag with bleach, lye, or similar material is reasonable.
I've gone on long duration camping trips of about a weeks length and the storing and portage costs are not excessive (having a boat or horse helps move it around).
