How do you dispose of toilet waste when wild parking.

If you are really wild camping, IE: middle of a forest or secluded moorland, dig a hole and Bury it.
If only pretending to wildcamp, IE: on a public beachfront road, or carpark etc, find a public toilet and be prepared to be moaned at.

I'm not condoning this but I've seen the use of a shopping trolley mentioned somewhere, the ones you see elderly people take shopping, the type that have a bag big enough to hide a cassette in 🤫

I'm never sure why it's a problem emptying in a public toilet. As long as care is taken there's no mess and if an accident occurs cleaning isn't difficult. I really don't care what other users of the facilities think about it - if anyone asks I'm happy to explain.

I only put aldi own ziflora in the toilet cassette so I'm able to use a public toilet, if someone did moan and say you can't put excrement in the toilet, what is the toilet for??

I always leave them cleaner than when I get there

Exactly. I only use bio washing capsules so again no issue.

Then you have to find somewhere to empty two cassettes.

Correct, but we would have moved on during that time not wanting to out stay our welcome while wilding and used a CS or aire.
I also carry one of these if push comes to shove.

Not used it in anger yet, but was amused when it arrived and had a play with all the bits as to when I would assemble it to use to it as a toughened glass breaker. :Eeek:

Many public toilets in rural areas discharge into septic tanks where toilet chemicals, even bio washing capsules can effect their working. Also if lots of cassettes are emptied into them it could overload the tank. This happened to one toilet on a beach in Northern Scotland causing the toilet to be closed.
Also, if waste water is emptied into a street drain, how do you know where it is going. All the street drains in our area empty directly into the local rivers and then into the sea. Even small amounts of detergent can effect the wild life that live in and drink from the river.

I empty the cassette into a carrier bag. Then I tie the handle into a knot and dangle the bag from a nearby tree branch.
I’m kidding……………….really, it was a sh*tty joke, but only a joke.

If lots of people were around to empty cassettes I wouldn't be one of them. As a long-term septic tank user I'm aware of what affects them - not much in reality. Ours accepted all household drainage without any issue and anyway there are few true septic tank systems in use - most simply hold waste prior to being emptied. Street drainage has to cope with many more foul liquids than the contents of the odd grey tank. Day to day Diesel fuel spillages, domestic car washing, concentrated salt at certain times of the year, etc. I tend to run a hose to nearby foliage & leave the drain open anyway.

We carry a spare cassette and never put any chemicals in the tank that way it is safe to empty into a septic tank.
Only place we have found it difficult to empty the cassette is Greece.

We have a SOG and never use chemicals, in the warmer months some Bio washing liquid is used but cold weather-nothing! We don’t put toilet paper into our cassette either and it does make a difference, easier to empty and more space in cassette!
We also carry 2 cassettes.
