Liquids (Urine)

  • Toilet: You can use toilets to dispose of liquid (urine).
  • Outside: You can pour urine outside if you’re at least 100 m away from any water source. Be mindful of where and when you do it so others don’t see you.
  • Garden: Urine is high in nitrogen and works well as a fertiliser for trees.
    For other plants, dilute it at around 1:10 before use.
    (Do not use on directly edible plants.)
 

Solids

GottaGo supports two types of waste setups: Eco Cassette and Chemical Cassette.

Chemical Cassette

Disposal of chemical waste is usually done at designated dump points. These generally can be found at major campsites, caravan parks and some service stations. You can search for human waste dump points near you to find one. Alternatively, you can empty the chemical waste into your toilet.

To Empty:

  1. Swivel out the nozzle and unscrew the cap.
  2. Flick the dial switch to "VENT."
  3. Carefully tip the chemical waste out.

Eco Cassette

The Eco setup is the simplest and most flexible. GottaGo’s bag-closing system lets you seal the bag without seeing the contents, making disposal clean and easy.

Compost or home system

If you have a composting setup at home or somewhere it’s allowed, you can empty the bag contents there to break down naturally.
Just make sure it’s placed somewhere away from edible plants, water sources, and areas where people or animals might come into contact with it.

Waste Stations

Some waste stations/dump points accept solids from dry or composting toilets. Only use if marked as suitable for accepting solid waste from composting or dry toilets.

Household rubbish

If those aren’t available, you can place the sealed, double-bagged waste in your own household rubbish bin for landfill. We recommend using non-biodegradable bags so that the bagging is secure.
Make sure to check your local regulation guidelines to see if binning human waste is allowed where you are.

Important

  • Always follow local council guidelines or signage.
  • Only use waste stations that clearly accept solids from dry or composting toilets.

  • Never leave waste in the environment, near water, or where others might come across it.
