New members posting something that causes so much controversy, what is the World coming to, new members should only be able to post about being gassed, dogs pooing everywhere and not being picked up, not staying more than one night in a beautiful location, accidentally leaving the grey waste valve open, we are giving new members far too much leeway, :dog:


:welcome: Mark, just enjoy yourself and don't worry

just the usual nice black waste but just do it that way to be on the safe side, would hate to block the toilet, I kind of feel a bit cheeky/ guilty doing it , no idea why just sort of do so just want to leave it clean & in working for the next user, would hate for George Michael to turn up after I had gone & not be able to use the facilities :lol-053:

Shake the cassette VIGOROUSLY before you pour it and just hope it doesn't leak while doing so. With Bio it normally breaks down quite fast in the cassette depending on what you have been eating. Isn't it great when schoolboy attitudes take over a thread, by the older and wiser group of the population???? who should no better but enjoy a good subjective look at the subject of POO.

Not too vigorously as you will likely damage the float for the full indicator.

My full indicator hasn't worked for 10yrs, if I cannot see it is full when I am using it then it would be a problem but surely it has to be the most pointless indicator ever invented

FULL when it overflows or as it happened to me the other day, the slider didn't open and wifey didn't notice.

My light used to come on then it was two days before we needed to empty it, I didn't take any notice of it when it worked so I certainly haven't missed it

New members may not want to break their nice new motorhomes and if it's one less thing for them to worry about when they first start wilding?

is this a little wooden device about half the size of a swan vesta box of matches ? the first time I emptied mine after purchasing the van this fell out of the cassette - I rescued it but have never known what it was.....

so .... is household recycling economically effective ? are collection/distribution/processing/reusing costs recouped by sales/less greenhouse gases .... or however these things are measured ?

I've spent many years in the waste and recycling industry,I can't comment on the economics of it all but I firmly believe it is having a negative impact on the environment. The massive infrastructure,road rail and shipping not just nationally but internationally has gotten out of control,as usual money rules the roost and being green has become secondary. The heart of the problem lies with manufacturers and the enormous amounts of energy and resources required for packaging,so rather than pushing the mantra of recycle and re-use,we should be pushing for things not to be produced in the first place. Some of the packaging on everyday items is completely over the top,with multiple layers of non recyclable or mixed materials that go through the recycling system and just end up in landfill anyway. Something I've noticed with council recycling targets is that they are quick to tell the world how successful their scheme is and will go on to produce figures to make the public feel like they are saving the planet. They are correct in that the tonnages they show are what has been collected in their area and sent for processing but what they don't tell us is what percentage of that figure is rejected at the other end and pushed into a hole in the ground...the same can also be said of the commercial recycling stream. I would think 20% waste is being generous,its probably far higher.
 
if the public stopped objecting to gasification incinerators there would be a drop in the need for landfill and the waste could be turned into energy . rather than crap in the ground.
its a human fault . keep objecting about every thing roads ,waste ,sewage treatment works etc . we very often end up with them , but not as good as we could have had and costing ten or more times the original costs .
took 40 yrs of arguing for a road by passing plymouth ,it ended up where it originally was planned .
i have a map printed just after ww2 it is shown on there as proposed route .
they built houses and industry around the route but kept the route clear. 40yrs and the cost was ridiculous .
should have had it in the begining .
 
Beware the mountains

Some years ago we set off from southern spain with a half full cassette, we were driving straight through to france crossing the pyrenees, nature called (only no 1), so into the toilet i go and low and behold the flap wouldnt open, needs must so outside to the nearest bush then thought i will have a look at cassette so removed said item, then inside to check operations of levers etc everything was ok in there, ha must be a cassette problem possibly a dry rubber or stuck lever, flap wouldnt open lever was stuck, something major wrong need to mend it now or it will be desparate in a couple of hrs, large screwdriver will lever it open if it breaks i can mend after the holiday, you guessed it i didnt think about pressure change inside a cassette toilet until PEBBLEDASH yes i had to get really close to hold onto plastic cassette and not let the screwdriver slip. funny how some lessons makes us laugh.

They are doing that with the Stonehenge bypass, every few years they have an enquiry, the consultants dust off the paperwork from last time, rub their hands with glee and collect the £3 million and produce the result of the enquiry (same as last time) Sit back and wait for the next one.
I think it cheaper to move the stones to a better spot.
