Hello,
My family and I have used a trash bin and sawdust toilet for probably twenty years now. We use the normal-sized, large bins, maybe 100 litres or maybe less. They do not last forever, as the bottom eventually cracks, after which they get switched to other uses. I try to keep four bins for the loo, which gives us one month before a bin must be emptied, as we fill a bin every week.
If we didn't empty the bins after a month, but only emptied them after two years, we'd literally need to have 104 bins in rotation! Does my family and I just poop excessively? Weeing is done outside for the most part. I have a friend with a dry toilet outside of her house that has always just put a lid on it and let it sit, but hers is hardly ever used, as she and her family use the flush water loo in the house. 104 bins at our place would be a lot of bins and they would take up a lot of space! How many bins do you have at Weaton labs? Where do you store all of the closed up ones? I always thought that there were quite a bit of visitors there, and, if my presumption is correct, it would mean that the bins get filled quickly. Unless there are other places where people go?
Cordially
