[Cob] Compost toilet and basementAmanda Peck ap615 at hotmail.comWed Apr 5 16:22:27 CDT 2006
IIRC that's that the U.S. park service has done with its tank-type composting toilets. But the question becomes--how do you get the compost out--the opening looks to be within inches of the bottom of the tank. What I see on this page: http://www.compostingtoilet.com/Public/BUILDING/index.htm are hillside placements. Right steep hillside placements. Something like those basement doors that go in from the outside, open from the top?? these kind of things? Or are they not quite sturdy enough for a park? http://www.bilco.com/foundations/store/scresults.asp?name=Classic%20Series%20Sloped%20Wall&ngroup=6&category=119 ................... Georgie wrote: As a compromise, my contact wonders if we can bury the (composting toilet's) tank a little, three to four feet, then we could ramp up a couple of feet for the floor. The building could have exterior dimensions of a bit less than 10" x 10". Any suggestions?
