I have been trying poo-less showers for about 3 months now. The bucket in the picture holds 15L (roughly 4 gallons). I used to the water to water one of our poplar trees.

Reused a little over 3 gallons of shower water to water some mint. It helped that the shower was in a common house and was used regularly at the SKIP event. The water gathered rather quickly.
This took a little effort. After my first reading, I thought a pooless shower meant I could use grey-water-safe soap, like our Castile bar soap. But then, based on at least one of the other people submitting proof, decided it had to be no soap at all. So I dumped my first bucket and started collecting again. I guess I’m a water-hog though because I had more than three gallons after just two showers. I watered a bed of leeks and peppers with it this morning once it was light.
It looks ok to me. It kind of looks like a standard "5 gallon bucket", might it be? Having a front view or confirmation about its size when you post would help the certifiers out.
Took several poo-less showers and filled a standard 5 gallon bucket. Then my husband rinsed some dirty boots in it which is why it looks so dirty. The watering can is 2 gallons so I filled it twice and watered in my newly planted broccoli and cabbage starts.

Left the bucket in the corner of the shower to fill up over a couple of days, all poo-less! Then used that water to flush the loo. I was quite surprised how simply it worked, turns out I've never thought much about the flushing mechanism of a toilet. The learning curve of SKIP has begun already!
