I've wondered the same thing. Not sure why they do it. But I've heard of them doing worse things like getting off the city bus, and squatting on the side of the street to pee or do #2 - in broad daylight in front of God and everybody, without ANY toilet paper. Now that's bad!
Maybe it's just a "Monterrey thing"....I don't know.

I have seen signs that have a picture of a toilet bowl, and an encouragement, in Spanish, to throw paper in the toilet and not on the floor. There must be a reason for putting up the signs, and for writing them in Spanish.
Tire los papeles usados aqui, en el suelo no.

My dotter visited Mexico one time and told me that in many places, the sewers and plumbing like one poster said is generally in poor condition. I have never seen it on the floor .Well yes I have but I think this is a multi racial issue about tissue! They do dispose of it properly and I doubt if that means the floor. As for me, well my dog...never mind.
PS...

Its actually not only toilet paper. They throw every garbage on the floor even if the garbage can right next to them.

I think they don't flush it there for some reason, and I am not sure why(water flow or drainage, or something to that effect). That's why you see signs all over the border city bathrooms saying to flush it in Spanish. They aren't used to it.

you cant flush toilet paper in poor Mexican towns because of weak or no plumbing. They hang their dirty papers in a bag and burn them later with the rest of the flammable garbage...No that wasn't chicken cooking with local spices when you where driving through town on your spring break

What I've been told by mexicans themselves is it has something to do with the plumbing/sewage in mexico.
