A question we get asked often is "how often are composting toilets emptied?" Obviously, emptying frequency is system and usage dependent, but there are average expected time frames.

The short answer is yes. They can easily back on to division walls in proximity to the perimeter and, with the right setup, can even be placed in more central parts of the house.
Want to install a composting toilet upstairs or in a basement? You can! The best solution for installation below/above the ground floor is a self-contained zero leachate system.
Got no power or minimal power on site? No worries - a composting toilet is still an option!
If you have a urine-collecting system in which urine is gathered in a container separate to the composting chamber, you will need to dispose of the urine manually once your container is full.
Leachate, urine-diversion, urine-collection, etc, etc... So many terms, so many systems, so what actually happens with the urine?
Here is everything you'll need to keep the toilet clean, and the compost pile active and healthy.
Generally, the health of a compost pile is relatively simple to maintain. But sometimes, things do go awry. That is where Compost Treatments come in.
Additives help you maintain microbial activity within the pile, speed up decomposition, balance out pH levels, prevent fly strike, negate damaging effects of pharmaceuticals on the compost, and generally prevent problems from arising.
Composting toilets are designed to keep flies away, and with proper maintenance flies shouldn't be a problem. If, however, you've found flies buzzing around your toilet, you need to deal with them sooner rather than later.
