Do you agree that this is an alternative for a septic system?

Do you think that local authorities accept such toilets instead of a full blown septic tank? |

Composting toilets have been around for years. I seriously doubt they would
be accepted anywhere a conventional toilet would normally be required. wrote in message ups.com... http://www.envirolet.com/ Do you think that local authorities accept such toilets instead of a full blown septic tank? |

In article . com,
says... http://www.envirolet.com/ Do you think that local authorities accept such toilets instead of a full blown septic tank? Only if the toilet is the only fixture in the building, e.g. a cabin without indoor plumbing. Otherwise, you still need something to treat other potentially-hazardous sewage from sinks, showers, laundry, etc. -- is Joshua Putnam http://www.phred.org/~josh/ Braze your own bicycle frames.

Andy writes: Here is a cheaper alternative. 1) Get a 5 gallon plastic paint can and stretch a Walmart plastic bag around the top. They fit really well 2) Lay a toilet seat on top of the rim 3) Crap 4) Twist the Walmart bag around and tie a knot in it. Store it outside in a hefty bag inside an animal proof can. 5) After a week or so, twist the Hefty bag and throw it in a dumpster, or garbage can, just before the garbage pickup if possible... Now you have solved your poop problem without having to pay for a septic system or use any running water. Hint: Do not pee in the Walmart bag. Us a plastic jug which you can put around your shrubbery. If you ignore this hint, you will be sorry. This is a bit more trouble than taking a dump and pushing a lever, but it works anywhere -- in truck campers, the woods, cabins, and when you are waiting for a plumber to come to your house...... If you are a city feller who has never crapped in the woods, this will seem "strange" and "dirty".... It is , the first couple times till you learn to lean back against a tree and not step in it....... Andy |

your property will need perc tested, septic must be far from well,
lots of rules and regulations figure on spending 10 grand and up, although it depends on where you live. any chance your area will be getting sewer service in the future? |
