Question Response Store for waste collection 5 Use as compost 3 For the purpose of the trial we will be collecting the solid waste. In an actual emergency which option do you think you would do? Any other comments/thoughts or feelings? Would like to be able to use as compost but not sure we'd have enough space at home and a work that there would be too much to deal with... Could be wrong but that the perception at the moment. I'd like to believe I'd learn how to make good safe usable compost but in real emergency circumstances I'd have other things to worry about and I'd probably much prefer to have it taken away and processed professionally for health/safety reasons as well as convenience. If the toilet is used for a long period (number of months) may need to store for collection. Great to be running the trial and even before starting to use it he toilet it's been an excellent conversation starter and has thus generated a lot of discussion around emergency preparedness etc. Completing this after 5 days; before it started I was getting distinctly uneasy about it all. Excellent that a trial is occurring This trial is a very good idea. I hope it goes well. Kids were very reluctant to use them when they saw them, once they had 'decorated' them they changed their minds - youngest has already snuck in and used it a couple of times! 95
