ABOUT COMPOSTING TOILETS

Composting toilets are designed for use in places whe re drainage is not available. Their designs have developed considerably in recent years, with innovations designed to reduce odor, and to make maintenance as easy as possible. Two basic types are available for the private home: self contained units to be placed within the bathroom, and central systems which have a separate processing unit in the basement. Larger centralised systems are available for academic and commercial buildings.

The leading composting toilet manufacturers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of composting toilets, including online catalogs, colours and materials for composting toilets, and care and maintenance of composting toilets.
