Compost Toilet

Our standard toilets come ready built and we deliver them personally.

Our toilets can be place anywhere as they're a completely off grid contained unit but the site you choose to place them should be as flat as possible and the firmer the ground they sit on the better. A concrete base is ideal, hardstanding is great and plain ground is manageable.
If you require a soakaway please allow room for this, 40cm square is adequate and you should leave room to access the hatch at the back.
We will place your toilet/s anywhere a van, and trailer dependant on how many you've bought, can access. You can move them by hand or forklift/manatee to a more inaccessible location if required.

Delivery is an additional cost and dependant on your location.

As mentioned previously all our toilets come with a urine separator and for those that don't know, they're a simple urine collection devise that's essential to a great compost toilet. They sit underneath, at the front part of the toilet seat so when you sit down they naturally collect the liquid.

All our urine separators are made by us on our small vac former in house.

There are many ingredients to a fantastic compost and one of the main ones is water. Not too dry and not too wet. If they get too wet it eliminates all the oxygen, the compost can't beath and it becomes anaerobic, so it's vital that we remove the liquid waste.
A 40mm pipe is connected to the urine separator and pipes the liquid away, either to a soakaway or to a collection unit, you decide what suits you and your site best and we will provide both solutions.
Please contact me to talk it through if you want more info and assistance.

Urea is an amazing substance, it's nutrient rich and sterile and by removing urea at source we keep it clean and sterile, meaning it's such a valuable resource as a fertiliser. It contains NPK, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium so if you dilute it at a ratio of 1:10 water your garden will thank you.

Compost toilets are used in conjunction with sawdust. After a deposit has been made it should be covered with a sprinkling of sawdust. The main reason being a compost heap needs nitrogen and carbon, the nitrogen is your deposit the carbon the sawdust with the added benefit of seeing nothing but wood shavings, it absorbs anything it needs and it gives a protective barrier from midges.

Wonderful compost is the perfect end result and for this we offer a variety of solutions on our composting page.

Our standard toilet has a 150 litre collection unit, as a general rule of thumb an average deposit is 200grms, allowing for a little sawdust you will be able to accommodate approximately 500 deposits.

We offer an alternative cladding of wavy edge larch of you prefer. Larch is beautiful and knowm for it's hardiness, drying to a silvery colour.

We will bring a small welcome pack including instructions.
