Perhaps your eco-consciousness or the impossibility of installing traditional toilets has led you to consider dry toilets.
You may not have access to a sewage system, or a water supply, and all of this can be quite expensive to set up. Maybe when you have family or friends over, your current sanitation facilities are insufficient and get overwhelmed.
So, you want to add a toilet upstairs, in the basement, in a barn, in your garden, or anywhere else where conventional toilets are challenging to install.
As a professional or a local authority, you may receive the public, and you need dry toilets for your staff, either on a construction site, permanently, or temporarily. You may be considering purchasing or building composting dry toilets. For example, if your establishment receives the public, we strongly recommend opting for dry toilets accessible to people with reduced mobility.
For your future composting dry toilets, do you have a 2-square-meter piece of land?
You will need to compost the waste from dry toilets because the law requires it! So, there’s no question of throwing these waste materials in a trash container or at your neighbor’s! The composter is essentially a box of sufficient size for the waste to decompose over time.
Where do you plan to install composting dry toilets, indoors or outdoors?
- For Indoor Dry Toilets: It’s as simple as can be, a small utility room, a corner of a bedroom with a screen, a van, a construction site hut, or even a camper… You install the indoor dry toilet unit, and you’re done! In less than two minutes and with a credit card swipe, you have installed composting dry toilets.
-
For Outdoor Dry Toilets: It’s just as straightforward, a corner of your garden, near your pool, on a construction site, on your farm, your equestrian center… You can either build your cabin or buy an outdoor dry toilet kit, and after a few minutes of assembly, your composting dry toilets are operational.
As dry toilet manufacturers for over twenty years, we are sometimes surprised by the destinations our dry toilets find.
Example of use of dry toilets
- For example, last year, our surprise was immense when an EDF subcontractor purchased several kits from us to install outdoor dry toilets in the lower gallery of a hydroelectric dam, 30 meters below ground level, so that the technical teams didn’t need to come back to the surface to relieve themselves!
- In Corsica, for instance, outdoor composting dry toilets were transported by donkey through the maquis to reach a cabin in the mountains. Less environmentally friendly but equally effective, dry toilet kits reached a high-altitude construction site by helicopter.
- Even in Dax, the military equipped a shooting range with dry toilets. Who said the military doesn’t practice ecology?
- Notably, in eastern France, we delivered around thirty outdoor dry toilet kits in December for the convenience of a refugee center, which allowed us to visit the Christmas market in the process.
More conventional uses include:
- Equestrian centers
- Winemakers for their grape pickers or customers
- Adventure parks
- Farms open to the public
- Community or family gardens
- Sports associations, and the list goes on…
It seems that ecology is making progress; indeed, many municipalities are equipping themselves with composting dry toilets, either for their small monuments to visit nearby, their bodies of water, recreational areas, playgrounds, hiking trails, or carpooling areas with composting dry toilets.
Thus, individuals install composting dry toilets where they need them, for example, by the pool, in the garden, in outbuildings, etc.
