Title: Compost toilets using wheelie bins
Post by: manicscousers on April 13, 2011, 14:00:41
Anyone know how to build these, or have one on site?
We are very interested in having one but can't come up with a way not to have it up lots of steps or a long ramp  ???

I saw something on TV recently, possibly on the Sunday morning programme. I'll ask OH if he still has on tape.

I believe this was on "The Horticultural Channel" programme on "Information TV".

Interesting stuff.  I seem to remember that they has a few steps & a ramp, but it didn't look too steep to me - from what I recall.

It was in episode 3.  Here is the general website:

... and here is a direct link to the episode 3 video.

Inspiring stuff.

It is possible for a wheely bin to be adapted and used for a male urinal

In fact because so many blokes are caught short on their way home from the pub some one actually came up with the idea and has patent it for street corners.

Girls of course have different needs and the wheely bin/Pee bin idea (whilst good) has been shelved as sexist. No one dare introduce it on that principle.

A shame really because blokes can not hold their water as well as women can. May be it is because they drink pints and ladies sup halves.

Thing is there are not enough public bogs (conveniences). Kids after school crowd round them. Queers cottage them. 

My idea is based on common sense.

There should be toilets available for ladies only.

NOT SO STUPID

You can, as a man use them. IF you have a lady companion with you. All these facilities are coin operated with CCTV

You show me a man who will pay +20p for a 'P' when there is a wall available in a dark alley.

Sounds a wee bit sexist to me.   :P
