Replace toilet with compost toilet - PEM BB wastestreams.straw.replace

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Waste Streams.

Are you ready for a sticky subject?  You guessed it, it's poop.  Instead of wasting fresh water to send those turds to a septic or sewer, let's convert a conventional bathroom into a compost toilet!

This BB and a few adjacent to it fully influenced by Joseph Jenkens' The Humanure Handbook edition 4.  Joseph is a wonderful man who posted the book on his website for any who can't buy it.  I'd highly recommend it and, if you're short on time, look at chapter 14 The Tao of Compost.

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Convert a conventional bathroom to a compost toilet bathroom
      - Not a purchased "composting" or incinerating toilet
  - Remove existing toilet and supply piping
  - Properly plug drain pipe
  - Properly cap supply line
  - Install compost toilet cabinet
  - Place cover material container and scoop
  - Include clear signage on use

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Existing conventional toilet
  - Conventional toilet removed
  - Drain hole properly plugged
  - Supply line properly capped
  - Compost toilet installed along with cover material receptacle and signage

Clarifications:
  - Compost toilet is the style described by Joseph Jenkins.  A receptacle to collect human deposits (poop and pee), cover them with a cover material (sawdust), and transport to a composting system for thermophilic composting
