Compost tray
In the right conditions, the composting process can take at least three to four months to
complete. It will take about this much time for the top of the composting pile to reach the
compost tray. The tray can be emptied about every 6 to 12 weeks. When there is mainly
bulking agent in the tray for the rst few times you go to
empty it, add this back to the main chamber.
Empty the compost tray BEFORE it is full. Most people
empty it once a month to avoid overlling. As a general
rule, you can empty the tray once the pile in the main
chamber reaches the top mixing arm (see image). Always
wear safety gear when handling compost - gloves, dust
mask.
It is recommended to turn the dial up to the highest setting
for a couple of hours in order to evaporate all uids before
emptying the tray.
Completed compost
If you’re at the stage of seeing completed compost, you can use this in your garden. We
recommend burying it like a fertiliser in a non-edible garden. Burying it will reduce the
likelihood of contact with animals or people. Even though fully composted waste will be
pathogen free, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Contact your local council for any restrictions
or requirements about using composting toilet waste around your property. Every local council
may have slightly different requirements about waste disposal.
