Composting toilets

[Ed Hartnett]

The problem with making your own is that the code people will go
ballistic!!

There is an outfit called the National Sanitation Foundation which has a
seal of approval on certain composting toliets. According to my code
people, an NSF certified toliet - no problemo. Anything else - forget it.

Of course if you're in an area with no code restrictions that's a different
story.
