The Humanure Handbook – A Simple Sawdust Toilet

Handmade loo book

In an emergency situation one simple thing can turn into a real mess… yes I’m talking about poo. What to do with the poo? Someone recently commented on one of my tiny house blogs that using a sawdust toilet might be the ideal solution for many people in many situations. It seems like the perfect solution for an emergency situation.

In fact you can download an ebook on the topic free written by Joseph Jenkins. I won’t go into too much more detail but it’s basically a simple way to compost human waste. The toilet it a toilet lid covered bucket filled with sawdust and the waste is periodically taken out to a compost pile. I know that sounds pretty gross but it sounds a whole lot better than backed up sewer systems. Check it out… The Humanure Handbook
