Out of all types of space junk, I'd be least worried about stuff on the surface of the moon. If anything, these piles of human waste contain the gut bacteria of the astronauts and was exposed to decades of radiation, temperatures and extreme conditions. It will be an interesting thing to study once they'll be able to create a research lunar base.

Now when they go back, there are going to be poo-based life forms that claim sovereignity over the moon.
