Compost Toilet

We built a dry composting toilet for the community permaculture center. This is an ecological solution that treats human waste without using water. This means we don't waste clean drinking water to flush toilets. We also we don't contaminate the local river with our wastewater.

This is a functional solution which will be used by visitors to the permaculture center. It serves as a model for those who want to learn about the technology or build one for themselves. The compost toilet provides containment and treatment of wastewater, which is much better for the environment and human health than cesspools or leaky septic tanks commonly used in the area.
