Title: enviroloo
Post by: TividaleJo on October 19, 2010, 12:41:53
Hi there we are looking into new toilets on our site and was told about these, they do appear to be good and to be fair the prices aren't that bad either. Was just wondering if anyone else out there had them and what they think of them and if they are worth the investment

We've had one on my old site for a few months and it seems to be working well.... certainly no smell and it is by all accounts getting used....  IIRC we got a lottery grant to build it too...

Looks interesting about how much do they cost.

We've just had one installed - again, with Lottery funding. Looks good so far: no smell, no flies, little maintainance. And it has disabled access; plus no soak-away to pollute anything. And, as a bonus, Kazuba were very helpful: they did a site visit and pointed us to other sites with loos already installed so we could see them at first hand and ask questions of the people using them.

There are other types of loo, of course, so I suggest you investigate fully before deciding. (We did a year of research, plus six months of form-filling!)

Fab! I tried to dig a compost loo and hit rubble about 6 inches down.. so make do with a "luggable loo" and makeshift shelter that I'm trying to hide with clematis!

This one doesn't need hiding. And they dig the hole. Ours was put at the end of our car park, which is rubble from the start!

Thank you all, we are looking into lottery funding  and the company have already been so helpful. The biggest problem for some plot holders is the smell but i am hoping to go and look at a site close to us that has one.

Regarding price they start from approx £3500 for basis and thats not including installation or shipping

We already have a chemical toilet but it needs updating and putting in a more accessible place (currently in back of shed) and the idea was to have a new bigger one that can accomidate people with mobility problems and wheelchair access so we can open up the site to an even more diverse range os potential growers.
