Does anyone know anything about composting toilets? I work for someone who wants to install one of these. How many people can they handle? How do they work? What is clean up like if there is no running water through them? Are they microbial? If so, how difficult is it to keep the microbes functioning? Is there anything else I should know?
Is there a plumbing ping? Do Freepers know their s***?
Thanks
One at a time, I hope.
My ex had to deal with one where her family rented a cottage for Summer vacation. They nicknamed it the "destroilet".
And yes, the male family members had to be more careful.
Just be careful if you eat a lot of beans and like to smoke on the toilet
I’ve had the pleasure f using a few along the trail. The Tuscarora Trail in PA has them at their shelters. We were there in August. Weather was very hot. No discernable odor. I think they use some sort of worms to eat the effluvia.
I have a friend who has one that burns the waste. He uses it in an outbuilding that has lots of people traffic. I think it’s a horrible idea. You have to put some sort of paper bag in the toilet first and it’s very expensive.
They also have a portable toilet outside for the guys to use instead.
I think the comcast building in philly has them. no flush.
I have a few in the shed, we call the shovels
Contact the folks at www.lehmans.com. They cater to the Amish, but a lot of their products are used in cabins.
Want a composting toilet? Just don’t flush the one you’ve got.

OMG, reminds me of our neighbors. We live in the sticks with real hillbillies. They never had water or sewer, used 5 gal pales. Their “room” was by the kitchen.
I did some work on their baler, they invited me in for coffee. I just about puked all over the place. The kitchen stunk worse than a rotten outhouse. I tried so hard to be polite and drink the coffee, then was offered donuts, brown donuts. I was sitting at the table holding back the hurl, it was wanting to come through my nose.
I just got up and told them I was going to work on their tractor before it got dark.
This is a true story.
ROTFLMAO!
I was waiting to see a response like yours!
LOL!!!
I don’t know personally but you might venture down to your local Democratic HQ and look!
I had a c-head put in our sailboat. I looked at and read reviews on all of them and it was the simplest and least expensive.
