We're just a few days from the one month mark of the partial government shutdown, and as time ticks on during the longest shutdown in U.S. history, trash and human waste have overwhelmed national parks.

One Oregon man decided what was happening in the parks was unacceptable and took matters into his own hands.

Dan Little, husband of Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, took a trip to Mt. Hood National Forest and found what most had come across when trying to use the park's facilities: a surge of trash.

So Little took the time to clean the restrooms in Sno-Park but decided his services shouldn't go unpaid. So , Brown tweeted.

Brown posted the bill which showed a breakdown of the $28 it cost to remove the bathroom's trash as well as what the room looked like before and after his services.

While there's been no word on whether or not the president will pay the $28 bill Little invoiced, parks are losing each day, National Geographic reported.

Even when the parks do reopen, it will take time for staffers to clean up the facilities, and the timeline of the cleanups can vary widely.

“Some [efforts] will take weeks or months," said David Lamfrom of the National Parks Conservation Association. "Some will last generations. Some may not be able to be fixed.”
