Sewers/toilets in middle earth?
It just recently occured to me, how exactly did elves and men...and dwarves get rid of their waste? Like for example in a city like minas tirith or Rohan. Where did all the waste go? I don't think they were as sophisticated as to be able to create flushing toilets like they used back in greece could they? Also I'm not aware of elven anatomy but looking at the movies elves seem less affected by alcohol. Is it possible that elves generate less waste than men and therefore maybe aren't in need of any sewers etc in their forests? The elves and men of minas tirith seem so clean, yet it must have smelt horrible with what? 10 000 people around...during the dark ages in europe getting rid of waste was a big problem and contributed to the misery in the form of rats spreading diseases. I'm sure some of you have dwelt on this before and could enlighten me.
