The more you know!
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bathroom
The head was visible in a few episodes, but while the doorway was initially labeled “CONFERENCE” in “Gambit, Part II”, it was relabelled “HEAD” by “Emergence”. In addition, in episodes throughout the seventh season, multiple crew members can be seen simultaneously entering the bridge via the head. It is unclear how many toilets are available for use in the head on the main bridge.

Why was Riker always constipated?
He couldn’t go #2 because he was #1
I can’t find the exact timestamp but Jonathan Frakes does point out the single bathroom on the Enterprise D in the 1994 documentary “Journey’s End: The Saga of Star Trek — The Next Generation.”
But why would you use it when you can just use the holodeck? (crude humor warning)
Can’t you just go onto the transporter?
Can’t transport the smell away.
Riker’s toilet would be placed right in the middle of a room … so that he could walk up to it, swing his leg over and sit down
The Riker Maneuver
A real throne room.
And here’s me about two hours away from my copy of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual to debunk this obvious joke with a picture of all the architectural diagrams where it calls out places where one might find a head, including, IIRC, the Ready Room, of which I imagine Riker probably avails himself on the regular.
Why yes, I am fun at parties…
I believe there’s one directly off the bridge, near the door to the conference room.
LaForge: Goddamn it, Riker, stop pooping in my Jefferies Tubes!
“You can’t prove it’s me.”
“Did you know that when you lose your sight your other senses become heightened? I can tell it’s you, and I’m telling you you need to go to sickbay.”
“I’m telling you it wasn’t me, Geordi!”
“The last one had a note scrawled on the wall next to it which said ‘FIRST OFFICER’S LOG’.”
“That’s pretty funny, right?”
“I’m putting in for a transfer.”
I mean, they have a transporter right? Couldn’t they just beam waste into a holding container or out into space? In discovery they say they recycle everything so maybe it just gets beamed to Kieko’s Arboretum lol.
The whole idea of Replicators and Transporters is that they have some technology which can efficiently convert matter and energy, so it’s possible that they use some sort of reverse-replicator to process waste.
You also never see what they do with the glass cups the replicators create when someone asks for a drink…
I think in DS9 they sometimes put the leftovers back into the replicator for de-replication but they’re Cardassian so they might work differently.
Janeway tells Chakotay to un-replicate the watch he made her for her birthday during the Year of Hell, because the energy can be used for something more useful, so they can definitely reclaim things
