Torrisholme Allotment Scheme waterless toiletThe KazubaLoo is an evaporating and dehydrating toilet. Human solid waste is transformed into a safe, neutral, pathogen free material without the use of water, chemicals or electricity. Easily installed and maintained, it is a pollution free solution.

The Kazubaloo can be integrated into almost any construction, either light or heavy weight. It requires no connection to water or waste services.

Les Jones from Torrisholme Allotment Association said:

The waterless toilet is really good. Working with James and Nick was a joy, they were both absolutely brilliant and really got stuck in to help us with the installation.

Now it's installed the toilet is working really well, everybody is very happy with it, especially the ladies!

Torrisholme Allotment Scheme waterless toiletIt does not smell and we have had no comments about that - my plot was next to the loo and I would have noticed if there was a smell or have heard if there were any complaints but there weren't any.

We're very pleased with the toilet and are now applying for funding to get two more Kazubaloos installed at another site.
