 If you've built a platform / art boat that guests will be living on, you will need a way to handle your guest's waste.  A bucket toilet system is probably the simplest waste management system that is practical for a camp of 4 - 10 people.

-#### Calculations
+[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gj3ocdO4Qk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gj3ocdO4Qk)
-The average person produces 12 ml/kg/day of urine and 5 g/kg/day  fecal matter.  The average adult in the US weighs 82 kg (180 lbs), so that means each person produces   ~1 L (34 oz) of urine, and ~0.41 kg (1 lb) of feces per day.  If we assume that feces has the same density of water (1 g/mL), then 0.41 kg of feces takes up 0.41 L.
+A more sophisticated bucket composting system:
-Total volume of waste is therefore 1 L urine + 0.41 L feces = 1.41 L
+[http://www.omick.net/composting_toilets/bucket_barrel_toilet.htm](http://www.omick.net/composting_toilets/bucket_barrel_toilet.htm)
-If we assume cover material and toilet paper are equal in volume, that means that the average person will produce a 3 L volume of waste per day.
+How to properly dispose of human compost
-A 5 gallon bucket has a volume of ~19 liters.  So, the average person will fill a bucket in about 6 days.

-A 40 lb (18.14 kg) bag of wood pellets contains 640 oz.  A single bag should last a single person about 12 days, assuming 1.41 kg (50 oz) is used per day).
+A Perfect Composting Toilet For Camping Or Emergencies
-So, a camp will need 1 bucket/person/week plus 20 lb bag of pellets/person/week.

+A lack of toilets are a persistent problem at Ephemerisle. Arranging a way to handle your biowaste in a sanitary fashion is a key responsibility of every attendee.
 The sewage holding tanks on boats tend to be very small, and are expensive to pump out at Ephemerisle.  Never use someone's toilet without asking first.
