Not seen this tip anywhere so...
We use these bags both for used toilet tissue and for wet wipes.
It saves the tissues sticking inside the cassette AND saves them sticking in black waste grill when you empty.
Altogether a cleaner system.
 
Cleaner for who, you now have a plastic bag full of dirty paper that will not rot down for years in a landfill site, instead of paper and waste getting processed through the sewage system, have to say I've never seen a grill anywhere where I've had to empty black waste from the cassette.

Knew someone who had a no solids rule in their portapotti. They lined the bowl with a doggy bag then tied it all up and disposed in council dog bin. Too much kerfuffle for my daily dump. If possible use public or supermarket loo. I usually move on every day so no problems there.
 
Never fails to amuse me the methods some people will go to rather than book into a campsite to empty their waste and replenish water etc. every 3/4 days.
Sh--ing in bags, toilet paper in bags, peeing in buckets, carrying a second toilet cassette, as i recall someone actually once mentioned decanting the toilet contents into another container !
God, get a life. I go away to enjoy myself not to worry about what to do with the toilet waste lol !

So your paying between £. 5-15 just to empty your toilet. Because you can get water free almost anywhere.. And that's fine ...,as you say if you go away its to enjoy....so your on holiday.a lot of people aren't always on their jollies. And a lot of people have financial restraintsSo you Get a life and enjoy it. But don't criticise others .after all it's a tip for the benefit of the people who " Wildcamp " as I'm sure that is what the site is about. Thanks for the tip OP
 
When we are wilding, we always use the Greek system, put toilet paper in a bin. We then burn the used paper on a camp fire.Not for the squeamish but after all, it's only our own rubbish!
 
We deal with the bags properly !!

Not sure why some seem to be so critical of this but WE FIND IT EASIER.
I have often found dirty paper and poo not fully flushed away

Can see your point, but i dont class £7.50 every 3/4 days using the C&CC motorhome stopover facilities including showers etc as expensive.
Having a motorhome for me is all about having the luxuries of home, pooing in bags etc is not. More like tenting imho.
Anyway everyone to their own and i apologise if i offended anyone.
 
It does surprise me somewhat that people are quite content to dump (sorry) vast amounts of dog feces in with the normal rubbish but get up in arms about a bit of human waste going in with the refuse. I don't see any difference.
 
anyone who has spent time abroad will be familiar with the idea that some toilets don't handle paper very well[at all !] so all soiled paper goes in a bin or a bag , can't see anything to get squeamish about !
i would say it's a good idea for wild campers as it also diminishes the chance of blocking public toilets. and a wee bucket just makes good sense,especially if you've got kids. without one you'd be emptying the cassette twice a day !

I go along with the easy option............a short drive turns all the waste and paper in my toilet cassette into just brown liquid........drinking plenty(not the waste) and peeing a lot does this............and it can be added to the manure in any convenient field, or nearesr toilet block......steve bristol

Oh dear! :sad:

You had better get your tin hat on and get into your bunker.
 
human wast can not be used as manure ,it first has to be heated up first to kill all sorts of nasties that can be infectious,so burning may be aa good thing.
 
Cows and Sheep and bathwater

Has anyone taught them to use toilets.. ?
Or were to piss and poo ?
I suspect not !!

I believe we need to take a real care with out "Human Waste".
But even more care with "Rubbish"
We recycle everything we can...Cans (excuse the pun), paper, glass, plastic.

It maybe even better to use "light grey water" to assist with relieving droughts ?
NOT sure on this but would welcome a scientific response !

Would it be helpful if we disposed of bathwater and the like in our garden rather than in the sewers ?
 
Do most people still use Bio washing powder in their camping loos ? Best tip Phil of WC gave us.I find everything breaks down by the time we get home.Toilet paper included flushes down the loo,no prob.

Oh I do love a good Poo thread. There is one on FACTS right now about blokes not being able to fit on their loos properly but its sh!t compared to this one! :D

The simple solution is to live on a diet of Leffe Blonde and French cheese made from raw milk (unpasturised). A good smelly Brie de Meux or Morbier will do it.

You wont need to worry about solids then and you will get Pished and have some lovely cheese into the bargain!

Or. When on a French Aire. Wait for all the French to go out at 6pm just before the bloke comes for the money (they will all vanish) then just pick a van with the same thetford as yours who hasnt been there long and swap yours over. Simple eh! Do I win £5?

That's exactly what the government told us to do with the bathwater during the drought of 1976 if we wanted to keep the garden growing.

Dont know where this idea came from.
Where I live they have a set of fields along side the airfield road where the large tankers that empty the sess pits spread the effluent.It is tranferred from the tanker to a tank pulled by a tractor which has an adaption to put it directly into the ground about six inches below the surface. Most of it still lays on top. They them plant potatoes in that field.

Well as mentioned, human waste can be and is used as a fertiliser but it must be treated first, however this does not necessarily mean it has to be heated artificially.......
