Common practice for sewer systems using septic tanks, rather than a secondary wastewater treatment plant. Same practice is used in much of rural US.

What?

I have lived in rural America for over 40 years with both older gravity type septic systems and more modern pumped systems. No one puts TP in a separate container. All our systems can handle toilet paper.

What you have in the 3rd world is gravity based cesspit systems. Even modern toilets cannot handle paper in that instance.
