You can empty a full container by taking it ﬁrst to a suitable place and turning it around

fully. After this, it is advised to mix the compost with eg. sand to get suitable mulch to be

used in the garden.

Hint! It's a good idea to store the spare container close to the outhouse. When the

Green Toilet is taken out of the toilet, the compost can still be fairly wet and the

mass heavy. During storage and composting, the volume of the mass, together

with the weight, will go down signiﬁcantly – even by half. Thus, the container will be

much easier to wheel after a few months of storage.

COMPOSTING TOILET WASTE

Usually it is prohibited to let raw toilet waste untreated to the ground. This is especially

harmful in water areas, like in lakes, where toilet waste causes eutrophication. The Green

Toilet system will help you to manage sanitation in your own yard safely and easily.

The time needed for the composting varies in different areas. The normal time span is 8-14

months, depending on the climate. In many cases, you can rely on your senses: if the

compost smells like mulch and looks like mulch – it can most likely be used freely. The

compost from a dry toilet is very nutritious, so one should mix at least one third of other

material: sand, mulch, clay etc. before using it for plants.

Can you compost other bio waste (like kitchen waste) in the Green Toilet?

It is possible, but it also brings higher risk for ﬂies and other insects in the toilet.

Therefore many prefer to have kitchen waste in a separate composter or

alternatively in the passive Green Toilet, ie. in the spare container.
