September 6th 2016 I get to saint Jean, I plan on staying here 2 nights as I don't get there till late on the 6th so will set off on September 8th So if anyone is in Saint Jean at this time and wants a little wine... Give me a shout!!! ;)
I know this is a 50/50 split on the stones that people carry and leave on the route... But that's not my question, I know that they are cleared away regularly...

If you mean the leavings on top of mojones, virtually all of those are road gravel, so it always was a local building supply. Most pilgrims take one stone (at most) to leave at the Cruz de Ferro. Those stay but detritus left with them is put in the garbage.
