Managing waste properly is important for an enjoyable and environmentally responsible outdoor experience. Learn how to dispose of waste with your Joolca GottaGo toilet!
Here's a cool Infographic
For Liquids (Urine)
- Toilet: You can use toilets to dispose of liquid (urine).
- Outside: As long as it is 100m away from a water source, and be thoughtful and respectful of others when pouring a pee bottle outside (we don't want people seeing that!)
- Garden: Urine, because of its nitrogen content, is a great fertiliser for trees. When diluted, also for other plants. Dilute the urine (approx. 1:10) and fertilise other plants with it, of course not directly edible ones...
For Solids
Eco Cassette
The Eco setup is the easiest, letting you dispose of solids in any designated waste bin or composting heap —and GottaGo comes with an ingenious bag-closing system, so you won’t even have to see the contents of the bag as you tie it off and dispose of it.
Bagging
- Bin using your regular home bin - make sure to check your local regulation guidelines to see if binning human waste is allowed where you are
- Find a designated dump point near you
- Build a compost pile (use composting bags to make this easier)
Compost
Dispose of the solids on your composting heap (or compost heap where humanure is accepted).
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:
- Swivel out the nozzle and unscrew the cap.
- Flick the dial switch to "VENT."
- Carefully tip the chemical waste out.
