Experts Discuss Water Reuse

Composting toilets are an option for many people who are willing to operate and maintain them. They are typically not chosen as the best option for use in a community-wide application because they are impractical for many users. In community service areas, residents include elderly, disabled and small children who would be challenged by their required maintenance.

There may be state and/or local laws that restrict or condition the use of composting toilets. As you suggest, composting toilets are an option that are being used under a wide variety of circumstances. We can't recommend specific products, manufacturers, distributors or stores, but you can even buy composting toilets -- such as the BioLet 60 XL Electric Composting Toilet, Automatic Mixer or the BioLet 30 NE Non-electric composting toilet -- at places such as Home Depot.

I will defer to Cheryl's answer on this one.
