-
Do composting toilets smell?No, composting toilets do not smell! They will not stink out your van, boat, tinyhome or cabin! When emptying the loo, there is no unpleasant odour, instead, the composted material looks and smells earthy - like a forest floor.
-
Can you pee in a composting toilet?Yes you can pee in a composting toilet. Our composting toilets are designed to separate the pee from the poop to eliminate any nasty odours.
-
Do you have to empty a composting toilet?Yes, composting toilets need emptying but much less frequently than chemical toilets. From our experience, they're much less unpleasant to empty than chemical toilets because they don't have an unpleasant smell and the solids simply resemble dirt.
-
Where do I empty my composting toilet?If you are travelling, solids from composting toilets may be put in a biodegradable bag and disposed in a regular rubbish bin.The law permits disposal of human waste in this manner to due to the need to dispose of both baby and adult diapers. Our toilets are specially designed to make this step as quick and easy as possible. Liquids from composting toilets can be poured down a regular toilet or onto the nearest thirsty looking mature tree!
-
When do I empty my composting toilet?The solids section of our composting toilets typically need emptying every 2-4 weeks depending on the level of usage. You can look into the chamber to check the level and we would advise emptying when the chamber around two thirds to three quarters full.
-
Can I empty my composting toilet into another composting toilet?Emptying your composting toilet into a bigger composting toilet - at a national park, say - will not do harm to the toilet as there are no chemicals. However, composting toilets are sized for the anticipated usage and will not cope in the long run if everyone were to do this. If anyone from a national park or forest is interested - we'd love to set up a 'pay-per-dump' honesty app to avoid 'stealth dumping' and let you keep track of unanticipated usage!
-
Can I put food scraps in my composting toilet?We don't recommend this because food scraps will attract flies and other insects.
-
Can I put the compost in my garden?Not until it has fully finished composting which will take several months. While 'composting toilets' begin the composting process and reduce the volume of waste, the material needs additional time to kill off any bacteria and parasites. Joseph Jenkins has literally written the book on 'humanure handbook' and we would encourage any readers to refer to this as a reference.
