One of our earliest customer photos — the first feedback we received after launching a campaign to find out where our separators were ending up.
"I have a brother and nephew living off-grid in Illinois, USA. Made this as a gift so they wouldn't have to go outside in the winter.
It contains a bucket for the poo and a 5-gallon jug for the urine."
— Marty, USA
Thank you, Marty. A neat little composting box — and what a thoughtful present. Sub-zero Illinois winters and a long walk to the outhouse is no fun for anyone.
This was one of the first builds to confirm to us that compost toilets were quietly happening all over the world, often built as gifts and one-offs by people who'd never describe themselves as eco-enthusiasts. Just practical people solving a practical problem with the simplest tools that work.
