Background: Crafting a Sustainable Retreat in the Heart of New Hampshire
Located in the valley between Cotton Mountain and Livermore in Holderness, New Hampshire, this charming rental cabin provides guests with a tranquil escape immersed in nature. The cabin was designed with sustainability in mind, reflecting a commitment to eco-friendly living. After years of experience with various composting toilet systems during off-grid living and travels, the cabin’s owner finally found a solution that exceeded all expectations—the GL 90 composting toilet.
The Challenge: Finding a Reliable and Sustainable Composting Toilet for a Remote Cabin
Creating an eco-friendly cabin that aligns with sustainable values posed several challenges, especially when it came to choosing the right composting toilet system. The cabin’s remote location meant that traditional septic systems were not a viable option, and many of the composting toilets the owner had tried in the past fell short—either due to complexity, frequent maintenance needs, or poor build quality. Finding a reliable, easy-to-use, and durable composting toilet that could handle the demands of a rental cabin was crucial.
The Solution: How the GL 90 Became the Perfect Fit for an Eco-Friendly Cabin
After extensive research and past experiences with various composting toilets, the cabin’s owner discovered the GL 90 composting toilet. This system immediately stood out for its superior design and functionality. The GL 90 offered everything needed in a composting toilet: simplicity, ease of use, and minimal maintenance. Its robust construction ensured durability in Airbnb use, while the straightforward installation process made it an ideal choice, even for those with basic carpentry skills. The clear, detailed instructions provided with the system further facilitated a hassle-free setup, making it the perfect fit for the cabin’s sustainable ethos.
The Results: High Guest Satisfaction with the GL 90
Since installing the GL 90, the composting toilet has exceeded all expectations. The cabin’s owner and guests alike have found it incredibly easy to use, with no noticeable difference from a traditional flush toilet. Maintenance has been minimal, with the system requiring only occasional servicing, which is straightforward and quick. The components have proven to be durable, even under frequent use by different guests. Most importantly, the GL 90 has helped maintain the cabin’s commitment to sustainability by providing an eco-friendly waste management solution that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The cabin has received great reviews from numerous guests, many of whom have praised the comfort and eco-friendly features, reinforcing that this was the right choice and enhancing the overall experience of staying in the cabin.
“This system far exceeds the competition, and has everything we want in a composting toilet system. Most notably, it is easy and straightforward to use, easy to clean/service, and is made of quality components that are meant to last. I am a carpenter, but the installation process is simple and can be done with basic carpentry knowledge and tools. The instructions that come with the toilet are also very Clear and helpful. Ordering from the waterless toilet shop was great, Eemeli is very responsive and communicative. Eemeli helped me with my custom chute order, and when the shipping company damaged, then lost the chute, Eemeli immediately sent me a replacement. I highly recommend ordering from the Waterless Toilet Shop, they offer quality products at competitive prices and customer service and support that goes above and beyond what is customary.”

CF 8 Composting Toilet – Estimated Daily Capacity
The CF 8 is a continuous composting toilet system featuring a single large 250-gallon container. Like the CF 4, it is designed for gradual emptying rather than batch-style use. Solids are typically removed in thirds or sections, allowing earlier deposits time to fully compost inside the tank.
This setup allows for either:
Year-round use with gradual emptying, or
Seasonal use (e.g., 4–5 months/year) with full emptying once per year
🔁 Continuous Use: Gradual Emptying in Thirds
When used year-round, the CF 8 is typically emptied one-third at a time, effectively composting in three rotating “piles” within the container.
Because the CF 8 is more than twice as large as the CF 4, each pile can hold approximately 480–960 poops, depending on composting conditions and how much bulking material is used.
Service Interval (per pile)
Estimated #2 Visits per Day
30 days (1 month)
~17–32 visits/day
60 days (2 months)
~8–16 visits/day
90 days (3 months)
~5–11 visits/day
180 days (6 months)
~3–5 visits/day
365 days (1 year)
~1.2–2.6 visits/day
💡 These figures assume that one-third of the tank is in active use at a time, with older waste given time to compost before removal.
🌤 Seasonal Use: Full-Tank Emptying After Inactive Period
For cabins, cottages, or other sites used seasonally, the CF 8 can be used for a few months and then left idle to allow full composting. In such cases, the entire tank may be emptied once a year.
Full-tank capacity estimate: ~1,440–2,880 poops
Example: 120 days of use (approx. 4 months): → ~12–24 solid visits per day on average
⚠️ Disclaimer
These numbers are rough estimates based on typical use and conditions. Actual capacity will vary depending on:
Climate (temperature and humidity)
Ventilation and air flow
How much dry bulking material is added
User behavior and emptying practices
For best performance, ensure proper aeration, regular bulking material use, and consistent emptying of composted portions.
💡 Want to Maximize Capacity? Consider a Urine-Diverting Toilet — With Some Important Considerations
If you’re looking to maximize the capacity of the CF 8 system — aiming for 960+ poops per composting “pile” — we recommend using aurine-diverting (UD) toilet pedestal.
✅ Benefits of Urine Separation:
Reduces or eliminates the need for dry bulking material, which frees up valuable space in the composting unit
Helps keep the compost drier, more aerated, and better suited for natural decomposition
Increases the total capacity of the composting container
Can lead to faster and more efficient composting, especially in high-use environments
By diverting urine out of the solids container, the volume taken up by absorbent material (like peat or wood shavings) is significantly reduced. This can make a big difference in how often the system needs to be emptied.
⚠️ Downsides to Consider:
Urine-diverting toilets can take some time to get used to. Users need to sit or aim correctly to ensure proper separation, which might not happen consistently without experience or guidance.
For this reason, UD toilets are generally not ideal for public or commercial settings where the toilet is used by guests, tourists, or other first-time users. In these cases, misuse can reduce the effectiveness of the system and may even lead to unpleasant maintenance issues.
In short: A UD toilet is an excellent choice for maximizing capacity in private or family use, but for guest or public access composting toilets, a standard non-diverting model may be more practical and user-friendly.

Green Toilet 100 Easy – Estimated Daily Capacity
The Green Toilet 100 Easyis a compact and user-friendly batch composting toilet with a 26-gallon composting container. Its design makes it well-suited for outhouses, cabins, and even indoor use. A spare containeris available to expand capacity and simplify servicing.
Note: Due to the shape and internal structure of the container, the actual composting capacity is slightly lower than its raw volume might suggest, if you compare with Green Toilet 120 Family composting toilet for example.
📆 Average Daily Capacity per Bin
Service Interval
Estimated #2 Visits per Day
30 days (1 month)

180 days (6 months)
~1.1 visits/day
365 days (1 year)
~0.5 visits/day
Notes & Recommendations:
For seasonal or weekend use, one container often lasts a full summer.
For more frequent use, we recommend the package with a spare container. This allows one bin to rest and compost while the other is in active use.
Don’t forget to add dry bulking material (like wood shavings or peat) regularly to maintain airflow and prevent odors.
⚠️ Disclaimer: These estimates are intended as general guidance. Real-world performance may vary depending on:
Climate and temperature
Ventilation quality
How much dry bulking material is used

CF 4 Composting Toilet – Estimated Daily Capacity
The CF 4 is a continuous composting toilet system featuring a single large 105-gallon container. Unlike batch composting systems (such as the Green Toilet models), the CF 4 is designed for gradual emptying — solids are typically removed in thirds or sections, allowing earlier deposits time to fully compost inside the tank.
This setup allows for either:
Year-round use with gradual emptying, or
Seasonal use (e.g. 4–5 months/year) with full emptying once per year
🔁 Continuous Use: Gradual Emptying in Thirds
When used year-round, the CF 4 is typically emptied one-third at a time, effectively composting in three rotating “piles” within the container. Depending on composting conditions and how much bulking material is used, each pile can hold approximately 200–400 poops.
Service Interval (per pile)
Estimated #2 Visits per Day
30 days (1 month)
~7–13 visits/day
60 days (2 months)
~3–7 visits/day

For cabins, cottages, or other sites used seasonally, the CF 4 can be used for a few months and then left idle to allow full composting. In such cases, the entire tank may be emptied once a year.
Full-tank capacity estimate: ~600–1,200 poops
Example: 120 days of use (approx. 4 months): → ~5–10 solid visits per day on average

💧 Liquid waste (urine) estimate
Average person produces about:
0.4 gallons of urine per day (≈1.5 liters ≈ 1.6 quarts)
So for 100 people:
0.4 gallons × 100 = 40 gallons of urine per day
🚽 Flush water use estimate
Average flush volume in the U.S. is about:
1.5 gallons per flush
Average person flushes ~5 times per day, so:
1.5 gallons × 5 = 7.5 gallons/person/day
So for 100 people:
7.5 gallons × 100 = 750 gallons of flush water per day
