A composting toilet is a dry toilet that uses a predominantly aerobic processing system that treats excreta, typically with no water or small volumes of flush water, via composting or managed aerobic decomposition.
Composting toilets may be used as an alternative to flush toilets in situations where there is no suitable water supply or waste treatment facility available or to capture nutrients in human excreta as humanure. They are in use in many of the roadside facilities in Sweden and in national parks in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
The human excrement is normally mixed with sawdust, coconut coir, peat moss to support aerobic processing, absorb liquids, and to reduce the odor. The decomposition process is generally faster than the anaerobic decomposition used in wet sewage treatment systems such as septic tanks.
The Excel is the best-selling unit in North America. It is a high capacity Bio-drum toilet that is very simple to operate, features well proven technology and is extremely reliable. The Excel was the first ever self-contained composting toilet to be certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).
To simulate residential use the Excel was tested by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) at maximum capacity for 6 continuous months, during which the Excel produced no odour and produced a clean, safe compost.
The 2" vent is attached at the top back of the Excel and can be installed invisibly by running it through the wall and up the outside wall. For comfort the Excel has a sturdy detachable footrest which can be removed to pull out the finishing drawer.
A defiant orange slice in the compost bin. Dare to resist, fruit, your degradable days are coming.
(I mostly liked the bright spot of color among the grey, done w/o any PhotoShoppish tricks)

But this photo above ain't in it - in spite of being in my 100 most pop album.
This huge pile of steaming compost gave me compost envy. I wish we had all of these horses pooping around my house.
Landscaping has begun between the north and southbound red IRT lanes along the stretch between Sunset Beach and Dolphin Beach. Workers are distributing compost to improve the soil ahead of planting.
We have a big compost box. And to sift it we only had a wee little sieve. Obviously, something had to be done about that.
So I built that massive shooka-shooka box.

It was on a 2004 trip to Ucluelet on Vancouver Island that I got turned on to composting. Even here, in dry, hot Arizona, one can turn leaves, twigs, coffee grinds, fruit peels, vegetable ends, egg shells, stuff you previously just tossed into the waste stream... into beautiful black organic soil.
There is something fulfilling here, even for me, a born in the city boy.
With both bins full, it was time today to release the most "mature" one into the veggie garden. And start again!
