374703 2005-07-26 09:20:00 At the West Coast holiday home belonging to the woman i bred with is, is a totally legal council approved composting toilet. One places the raw materials in the top of it in the usual way, along with a spinkling of sawdust, or other hi carbon materials, and the occational sprinkling of lime. Slowly things work thier way down the plastic steps, then and after a year or two one gets the finest quality compost out the other end that the local horticultural society gladly take far into the hills. Isn't that a nicer way of dealing with these things than flushing them into our oceans? :thumbs: personthingy (1670)

Do you find as you go up the plastic steps,that it gets a bit messy?
Or are you as happy as the proverbial pig?

Or are you as happy as the proverbial pig? The units less than 2 metres long, and maybe a meter and a half high. The steps are within the box, and only have the horizontal parts which are on a slight tilt. They are designed for maximum air movement through the compost.

I've never shoveled it out, nor has its owner. That jobs is left to the local horticulturists who can't get enough of the stuff! :p

Heres the design of the toilet, if anyones interested:

374706 2005-07-28 07:14:00 Telecom installed in some of their more remote sites Electrolavs a few years back and a few still remain .

These are a composting toilet, No 1's have to aimed into one part of the system and No 2's drop onto a disc .
The electric part is a fan funneling odours up a vent pipe and the toilet "flushes" via an electric motor spinning the disc that you've crapped on .
No 1's are supposed to evaporate over time and No 2's break down I guess until some poor bugger has to empty the chamber . :yuck:

In many cases they have removed the toilets at some sites all together forcing either a long wait, a long drive or a dash into the bushes . :groan:

But then thats why we have the tents on the trucks! :thumbs:

374707 2005-07-28 09:01:00 This thread got me thinking as to which high country DOC dunny had the best view. One that sprang to mind was the Cupola hut in the Nelson lakes which last time I was there didn't have a door but it had what the Americans would call,"A million dollar view." Dally (6292)
