Waste management ideas that might help...

[rruff]

I know; what if you just strapped an outdoor crapper unto the back of the van.

Ya know... I've just hung my behind off the side of a boat, and dropped a load while cruising along. I think this method could be adapted to a van easily enough.

Wait no... we need to be good clean sanitary citizens! Maybe a special "captain's throne" for a driver's seat that doubles as an automatic toilet/ poop bagging system? But then how do you dispose of the waste?

And pondering that I had an epiphany! You know, damn near every store these days has a driveup. So... you're cruising along and want a Big Mac, or you want to buy some weed, or maybe you need a prescription filled? You can do it all without leaving the comfort, safety, and security of you rig, right? You should be able to get rid of your just as easily. What if these places not only sold you stuff at the driveup but also took your bag of waste? For free of course, just to get our business. Then somebody from Waste Management could drive around and pick these up daily, and take them to the Great Methane Power Station.

Most people just flush their down the toilet... what a waste...

maki2, I wasn't aware I had posted anything that might offend anyone to such an extent to be deserving of such a bashing. Your reply was really offensive and should be reported. This thread needs to be closed. I'm out.

Just drop the poop bags in the grocery trash bins. Ultimate recycling

This thread has become filthy and silly, and has nothing to do with the Op's intent. The use of the asterisks to fly under the radar is obscene, too.

Pretty sure the OP is a bot. They've gotten a lot better, but the reply to maki had the "combative BS" setting turned up a bit high...

I think the auto censor is supplying the asterisks you see...

Wow...! Are you all really that dense about this idea, or am I just missing something...? I don't read maki's posts anymore as he has no regard for what I have said in my posts, but everyone else seems to be in some other places, not of this world. I know there are many products along the same line out there, but really...? Nobody gets it...?

I live on a farm all in hay that has tons of deer, geese, cranes, coyotes, rabbits, squirrels etc.that produce much more waste than my wife & I. How will you fix that? I was a very avid bear hunter & bear scat the size of a Coke can is 400# plus. I just feel all the bagging, drop off, emptying, recycling, shipping, reselling is just a useless load of crap IMHO

The way you reacted to maki's helpful and informative post, showed us that you don't want that sort of response (and you are still acting like a bot), so we are entertaining ourselves.

Sky King,
Okay, I'm trying here, but I just don't get what it is you figure is so much of a problem with the idea. One thing that might help clear it up is the details about it... All the user has to worry about is buying his drinking water bottles, or soda pop bottles, or the relatively inexpensive accessory bags constructed with a built-in ring for processing... so once you're done using/filling your container of choice, you just store it for the drop-off whenever you feel like dropping the load at the nearest station. The machine does the rest. You wouldn't have to worry about that part of it.

If you're talking hobo van life, living without working for a living, without money for even a small box of bags to work with for this solution, that's different. I just figured there might be some people out there that like the van life and that actually work for a living out of their van, saving alot of rent money in the process. How do these jobless Vanlifers get around without hundreds of dollars a month for gasoline anyway moving around from campsite to campsite...?

Are you telling me that if a box of 50 specially designed bags costs let's say $12.99, that the whole idea stinks...? That's just kooky...

Let me guess, you must be another one of those pesky moderators... The moderator profession is a most deplorable idea. Whoever came up with it should really be awarded a lifetime supply of bit#@$h slapping...
