Sawdust Toilet

A sawdust toilet is a type of composting toilet popularized by Joseph Jenkins in his 1994 book The Humanure Handbook.

It generally consists of a seat, a bucket or other container to collect excretia, and a bulking material, in most cases sawdust. When the bucket fills sufficiently, it is removed and the excretia and sawdust material is added to a thermophilic compost pile.
