Technical Specifications

The Comfy Crapper is a mobile composting toilet that can be pitched just about anywhere. The user friendly, hygienic quaint looking wooden huts, make for pleasant spaces to be in. The timber is a naturally fire retardant wood (used to make British Standard fire doors) and is sustainably sourced. The Comfy Crapper makes for an environmentally friendly alternative to the well known and much hated chemical hire toilet.

Unlike the chemical hire toilet the Comfy Crapper requires no chemicals or water at any stage of the process and has a far greater capacity. There is no need for sucking out, although presently we must dispose of the urine until regulations and attitudes are changed. We remove and compost the solid matter in the tanks for two years and at the end of that time the bi-product is a good quality humus that we will use to grow flowers in, to decorate the pitch or area. This certainly shows people the cycle of their waste! Without the need for plumbing, pits dug into the ground or the land to be affected or altered in any way what so ever a pitch is left as it was found. Setting up on flat ground is ideal. Gently sloping land is manageable but very bumpy ground or steep gradients are unworkable and unsafe, for the customer, my staff and using the lorry mounted crane to load and unload. We require no direct water source.

The waste collects in recycled plastic tanks. The solid and liquid matters are separated at source because of the nature of the composting process. When they are allowed to mix they react to each other and start to break down. This is reason in part for the unpleasant smells associated with the chemical toilet. Hence the composting toilet gives off no offending odours inside the cubicle and in no way pollutes the surrounding air. The freshness is aided by a constant flow of air through the system in a similar way to a fireplace. Our toilets are supervised and cleaned constantly day and night.

The tank holds one cubic tonne. The urine is collected in the same size tanks. In the extremely unlikely event that a tank becomes full by the end of the week we simply shut that cubicle. This has never happened before now and i doubt it would happen in the future. We have trailed the same tanks for two consecutive very busy events to put the tanks capacity to the test. They passed with flying colours, giving us no cause for concern.
