Yes the past is the future… Nice job. Think of all the water we toss out .
Wait a minute… you can show people stabbing each other’s eyeballs out, but you can’t show poop on YouTube? WTF? lol
Did you say snacks. in a toilet box. what is wrong with you
What about pee, I thought you weren’t supposed to pee in a composting toilet.
Wow it’s so easy! Good job!
sorry, I have more questions and youtube only allows so many characters.
do you put toiletpaper in there too and compost that as well? some people use “reusable” homemade cloth toilet paper and love it (same concept as cloth diapers, really). I wouldn’t be opposed to the compost toilet in a second bathroom or in a cabin. ~Amanda
so, you guys really use that in your house? for real? when you have company over, do they know that somewhere in your house there is a composting toilet? I suppose your guests all know you well enough to expect such a thing. I’m surprised by the other comments on this video saying that these things would be illegal where they are located. I can see building laws saying you HAVE to have interior plumbing in a year round house but who cares if this were a “2nd” bathroom. ~Amanda
I love the idea of having built-in storage for toilet paper and such. I also like the fact that it’s not attached to anything, so you could easily move it to another part of the house if you wanted to (or hide it from people who are anti-composting-toilet).
Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Do you use it Joseph Jenkins ie all liquid & solids go in together or do you keep it dry? Also, I’m from the UK so we have different ‘codes’, but I’d say what the authorities don’t know, won’t hurt them!
We use one of these in our tiny house. Best to use raw cut soft wood lumber sawdust instead of kiln dried, but both will work. You really don’t want to use cedar sawdust as it does not decompose as well as others. Takes about a 1 to 1 and a half years to decompose to safe to use dirt.
@relaxshacksDOTcom Do you plan on doing a video to explain how to go through the actual composting process to make it safe to use in the garden?
Another good one! I hope you show us the composting side of the operation and address in more detail some of the comments about pathogens and toxins.
So you don’t need anything mixed into the sawdust to keep it from stinking up your house? Do you have to use a certain kind of sawdust, like cedar sawdust?
lol you are awesome
The state laws in california will not let up do this but 5 miles away there 100,000 cows shitin all over the place.
you have a good channel
thaanks for the vid
Thanks all for checkin’ it out. Also, the inability to compost human waste, and it being too toxic to do so, is a common, and longheld misconception- even within fairly current gardening books. I won’t get into the details, but its very possible, easy to do, and safe- it just takes quite a bit longer to process than regular kitchen scraps, etc. Aside from “The Humanure Handbook” (now in its 4th or 5th printing) by Joseph Jenkins’ there are now many other, scientifically backed tomes the topic.
Composted human waste should not be used in a vegetable garden. Humans are full of toxins and the concentrated heavy metals are not healthy in a vegetable garden. Then there is the problem of potential human diseases if the compost does not get to high temperatures. Urine on the other hand is sterile so in many countries it is used to water and fertilize gardens, but there are toxins in urine also.
built just in time for Black Friday
Why you little stinker!….HA!!!
Hopefully, u dont use it on a vegetable garden cause if i remember it takes 2-5 years for the earth worms to kill off all the bacteria, viruses n other human crap in crap so that it can be used with vegetable gardens/farming.
very cool man. its hard to believe it doesn’t smell.
@centervilletn Go 4 it! Sounds like a good idea.
well thats a good set up…or set on as the case may be…the main thing is NO smell…you could build a simple outside urinal by digging a post hole filling the bottom with gravel put in a 3ft long pvc pipe 4 inch diameter…fill around the sides with dirt..put a LARGE funnel in the top and there you go..free outside urinal….maybe i should do a vid..
