The things you find!

Yesterday, while doing some more research on composting toilets, I came across the EPA approval for the toilets used at Rowany Festival.

Handy!!  It includes a description of how they arrange their bins and also how they deal with leachate.

Based on that, I'll put taps on the bases of the containers, but keep them closed until after the event.  Then we'll work out the right place to store them, dig a leachate trench in accordance with the Australian Standard for composting toilets, and drain them later.

btw current plan is a toilet in each of the dormitory paddocks and a male and female urine only service in the kitchen paddock. 

I need to provide storage for about 210 litres of waste - I could do this with 2no 120Litre bins, which are 980mm high to the top of the handle.  This will mean that the seat will be about 1m above ground level and we will need 2 steps to get up to them.
