A real porcelain toilet in your bathroom, with a large composting bin out of sight below the floor. The Lux 330 needs at least 37β€³ of clear space under the floor – it takes room, but in return you get one of the largest capacities we offer. No water, no plumbing, no septic. Two 87-gallon bins on wheels come in the box, and two adults living there full time typically swap a bin only about once a year. That long service interval is why it’s one of our most popular models.

About the Green Toilet Lux 330

Made for homes, cabins, vacation rentals and public restrooms with room under the floor.

  • Looks and works like a regular toilet – real porcelain, nothing to flush, no instructions needed for guests.
  • One of the longest service intervals we offer – two adults full time typically swap a bin only about once a year.
  • Serviced outside the bathroom – the bins are on wheels, and there's no shoveling.
  • Odor-free when set up right – the fan vents the bin, not your bathroom.
  • Works off-grid – no water, and the small 12V fan runs on our Solar Power Kit, or vent with a wind-driven Whirlybird.
  • Built to last – made in Finland, in use since the early 1990s, with hardly any moving parts to break.

How it works. Waste drops through an 8β€³ pipe into an 87-gallon bin below the floor. Much of the liquid is used up in composting and evaporates through the vent*; a double base drains the rest to a 5-gallon canister. The fan draws air and odors out of the bin and up the vent pipe. The bin takes its fresh air through its own small inlet from the space it sits in, not from your bathroom, so in a cold-climate home it won't pull warm air out of the room.

Emptying is a swap, not a shovel job. When a bin is full, wheel it out, close the lid and set it aside to finish composting, then wheel the empty one in. A completely full bin is heavy, so many owners swap a little early.

Who it suits: comfortably 1–8 people full time or 1–12 part time with the two bins in the box. More people simply means swapping more often – or adding spare containers, which makes capacity practically unlimited, even for busy public sites.

Less room under the floor? With 28β€³, the Lux 120 gives you the same porcelain toilet; with 18β€³, the GL 90. No crawl space at all? See our floor-standing toilets.

upgrade to a urine diverting toilet pedestal

Option: Upgrade to Urine-Separating Porcelain Pedestal

By default, all our premium waterless toilets, including the Green Toilet Lux 330, come with a high-quality non-separating porcelain pedestal. For those who prefer, we offer the option to upgrade to a urine-diverting porcelain pedestal. This design separates urine from solids at the the toilet seat, reducing odors and need for additional dry cover materials.

recommended accessories for off-grid installation

No Electricity? No Problem!

If electricity is not available, we recommend ourΒ Solar Power Bank KitΒ andΒ WhirlybirdΒ as accessories for your off-grid composting toilet system. The Green Toilet Lux composting toilet is equipped with a 12 V DC ventilation fan (AC adapter included), which can be powered by the Solar Power Bank Kit for up to 24 hours without sunlight. In addition, the wind-driven Whirlybird ventilator provides effective ventilation on cloudy/windy days.

How it is used

Use of the Green Toilet Lux 330

Using it feels just like home: sit down, close the lid when you’re done – the only thing missing is the flush. Waste and toilet paper drop through the pipe into the dark bin below, so there’s usually nothing to see from the seat. Family, guests and renters can use it right away – no instructions or training needed.

Split-system principle

After a #2, sprinkle about a coffee mug of dry material through the seat – the hemp included in the box works great. After peeing, nothing at all. Prefer less routine? Many owners simply add a bigger scoop, about 1–2 gallons, once or twice a week. No need to overdo it – extra material just fills the bin faster. And if a guest forgets, no harm done.

The only rule: no wipes, pads, diapers or other plastics – a small trash can next to the toilet takes care of those.

Easy to keep clean: the smooth porcelain bowl often stays clean by itself. When it needs a refresh, for example once a week, a little water, a toilet brush and a biodegradable cleaner are all it takes. Skip regular toilet cleaners and chemicals – the composting works best without them.

How it is installed

Installation of the Green Toilet Lux 330

Most customers install the Lux 330 themselves or with a handyman – you usually don’t need a plumber or an electrician. It goes in on two levels: the porcelain toilet in the bathroom, and the bin right below it in a crawl space, basement or under a raised cabin.

Below the floor you need at least 37β€³ of clear height – even 38β€³ is a snug fit, so a little extra makes life easier – plus room to wheel the bin in and out. A waste pipe drops straight down from the toilet into the bin – 2 ft comes in the box, and longer pipes let the bin sit much lower, even a floor below. A vent pipe leads from the bin up through the roof, and a hose drains excess liquid to a canister. Everything except the rigid vent pipe is in the box.

How it is serviced

Service of the Green Toilet Lux 330

Servicing happens below the floor, outside the bathroom – and with the Lux 330 it’s rare: two adults full time typically swap a bin only about once a year.

When a bin is full, the swap takes just minutes, with no shoveling: unhook the liquid hose and the vent pipe, wheel the full bin out, close it with a lid and set it aside to finish composting. Then wheel the empty bin in and reconnect. A completely full bin is heavy, so many owners swap a little early.

While it rests, the compost usually matures in 6–12 months, depending on climate, into dry, earthy material. Use it on plants you don’t eat, or dispose of it as local rules allow.

Liquid: check the canister now and then – how often depends on use and climate. Empty it around trees and shrubs you don’t eat, away from water, or as local rules allow. More about liquid β†’

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space is needed beneath the floor to install the Green Toilet Lux 330?

The Green Toilet Lux 330 requires approximately 3 feet, or specifically 37 inches, of space below the bathroom floor for proper installation.

If you do not have the space, please check out the other premium waterless toilets we have.

How long does it take for the composting containers of the Green Toilet Lux 330 to fill up?

The time it takes for the composting containers to fill up varies depending on the number of users. In a typical family setting, a container usually takes at least six months to become full. Most households find that the standard package, which includes two composting containers, adequately meets their needs.

Does the toilet smell?

No. There is no smell whatsoever coming out from the toilet. All our waterless toilets, including the Green Toilet Lux, are completely odor-free.

Can the Green Toilet Lux 330 be used in freezing conditions during winter?

Yes, the Green Toilet Lux 330 can be used in freezing winter conditions without any issues. While the composting process may pause due to the cold, this does not hinder the toilet’s usability.

We live in Downeast Maine, and so far, I have been very happy with the setup! Our house was built on a pile foundation on a ledge, and it would cost more than usual to install a septic system, so we looked into other options. We had just enough room under the house for this size bin. (Note: we bolted the pressure treated boards to the ledge.) Also, I recommend getting the extra solar fan vent cover. I will update my review after this winter as well.

I recently installed a family 120. Works well so far. I was planning a split system that I didn't think was manufactured and found this shop and it fit perfectly! Hallelujah! Saved me a bunch of time. I added an extra air tube in the corners from a section of drain pipe with the holes to help keep the compost aerobic.

Composting toilet for off-grid cabin works well! After a great deal of research, I decided on the Green Toilet Lux 120 Composting toilet for my off grid cabin. The fact that I could install a replaceable bin under the cabin's "in-house" toilet area was fantastic. The porcelain toilet is a perfect amenity - although I had to find a toilet seat to replace the one that was sent (cracked in shipping - but WTS reimbursed me to cover the costs). A rubber boot on the roof helps to keep rain out of the structure. The wind-driven fan works really well and helps keep the area ventilated. I keep a bucket full of wood mulch in the toilet area and drop 1 to 3 scoops after each use. I found some biodegradable detergent from Dr. Bronners that I mixed with water to spray down the toilet for cleaning at the end of our weekend visit. I also upgraded the provided vent pipe to a 4" pipe. Having a usable composting toilet in the winter makes our cabin so much more habitable. Thanks for making this product availalbe!

    Easy set up and GREAT customer service! The Green Lux toilet arrived and was very easy to set up. We built an elevated outhouse to make storage of the containers easy. We hosted a large gathering of 100+ people, and had several tell us that it was the most luxurious outhouse they have ever been in! Also, when the fan went out and the seat got cracked, they didn’t even ask questions, and simply sent us new ones! We will 100% be returning customers!

I wasn't sure what I was getting into with this toilet system but since it was the only option I had for my off grid cabin, I rolled the dice and I'm glad I did. Installation took me longer than it should have with trying to figure out the best method, but after that it was easy. I installed it in July and have visited the cabin every month since then. There have never been any foul odors and other than losing a toilet brush inside, it's been great. I highly recommend.

First experience with a waterless toilet. Everything works as expected.
I can't provide pictures. The installation is in a high elevation, snowy location, that has already been winterized for the season.

Green Toilet Compact Lux

Average Daily Capacity per 26-Gallon Composting Bin

(Based on approx. 150 uses involving a #2 β€” i.e., poop) – only the solids count!

Service Interval #2 Visits per Day (involving a #2)
30 days (1 month) ~5.0 visits/day
60 days (2 months) ~2.5 visits/day
90 days (3 months) ~1.7 visits/day
180 days (6 months) ~0.8 visits/day
365 days (1 year) ~0.4 visits/day

πŸ‘₯ Roughly how often will I service a bin?

Full-Time Users Time Before a Bin Swap
1 person about 4–5 months
2 people about 2–3 months
3 people about 1.5–2 months
4 people about 1–2 months

🟒 What counts as a β€œ#2 visit”?

Only visits that involve pooping (i.e., going number two) β€” urine-only visits don’t contribute to filling the composting bin and are not included in the estimate.

πŸ”„ Why two bins?

The Green Toilet Compact Lux comes with two composting bins. The figures above are per bin: when one fills up you swap in the empty one, and the full bin is left to compost undisturbed until you next need it. The second bin doesn’t make the interval longer β€” it means you never have to empty a bin in a hurry. Additional bins can be added at any time.

⚠️ Disclaimer: These estimates are approximations. The actual number of solid uses per bin may vary significantly depending on climate, temperature, ventilation, user habits, and the amount of dry bulking material (e.g., wood shavings or peat) added after each use.

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:


πŸ” 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 β€œpiles” 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

πŸ’‘ 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):
β†’ ~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:

For best performance, ensure proper aeration, regular bulking material use, and consistent emptying of composted portions.


πŸ’‘ Want to Maximize Capacity? Consider a Urine-Diverting Toilet β€” With Some Important Considerations

upgrade to a urine diverting toilet pedestal

If you’re looking to maximize the capacity of the CF 8 system β€” aiming for 960+ poops per composting β€œpile” β€” we recommend using a urine-diverting (UD) toilet pedestal.

βœ… Benefits of Urine Separation:

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 Easy is 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 container is available to expand capacity and simplify servicing.


πŸ”’ Estimated Solid-Waste Capacity per Bin:

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.


πŸ“† Average Daily Capacity per Bin

Service Interval Estimated #2 Visits per Day
30 days (1 month) ~6–7 visits/day
60 days (2 months) ~3–4 visits/day
90 days (3 months) ~2.2 visits/day
180 days (6 months) ~1.1 visits/day
365 days (1 year) ~0.5 visits/day

These estimates are intended as general guidance. Real-world performance may vary depending on:

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 β€” solids are typically removed in thirds or sections, allowing earlier deposits time to fully compost inside the tank.

This setup allows for either:


πŸ” 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 β€œpiles” 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
90 days (3 months) ~2–4 visits/day
180 days (6 months) ~1–2 visits/day
365 days (1 year) ~0.5–1.1 visits/day

πŸ’‘ 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 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.


⚠️ Disclaimer

These numbers are rough estimates based on typical use and conditions. Actual capacity will vary depending on:

For best performance, ensure proper aeration, regular bulking material use, and consistent emptying of composted portions.


πŸ’‘ Want to Maximize Capacity? Consider a Urine-Diverting Toilet β€” With Some Important Considerations

upgrade to a urine diverting toilet pedestal

If you’re looking to maximize the capacity of the CF 4 system β€” aiming for 400+ poops per composting β€œpile” β€” we recommend using a urine-diverting (UD) toilet pedestal.

βœ… Benefits of Urine Separation:

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 noticeable difference in how often the system needs to be emptied.

⚠️ Downsides to Consider:


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 120 Family

πŸ’© Average Daily Capacity per 31-Gallon Composting Bin

(Based on approx. 356 uses involving a #2 β€” i.e., poop) – only the solids count!

Service Interval #2 Visits per Day (involving a #2)
30 days (1 month) ~11.9 visits/day
60 days (2 months) ~5.9 visits/day
90 days (3 months) ~4.0 visits/day
180 days (6 months) ~2.0 visits/day
365 days (1 year) ~1.0 visits/day

🟒 What counts as a β€œ#2 visit”?
Only visits that involve pooping (i.e., going number two) β€” urine-only visits don’t contribute to filling the composting bin and are not included in the estimate.

⚠️ Disclaimer:
These estimates are approximations. The actual number of solid uses per bin may vary significantly depending on climate, temperature, ventilation, user habits, and the amount of dry bulking material (e.g., wood shavings or peat) added after each use.

πŸ’© Average Daily Capacity per 87-Gallon Composting Bin

(Based on approx. 1,000 uses involving a #2 β€” i.e., poop) – only the solids count!

Service Interval #2 Visits per Day (involving pooping)
30 days (1 month) ~33 visits/day
60 days (2 months) ~17 visits/day
90 days (3 months) ~11 visits/day
180 days (6 months) ~5.6 visits/day
365 days (1 year) ~2.7 visits/day

🟒 What counts as a β€œ#2 visit”?
Only visits that involve defecation (pooping) β€” urine-only visits don’t fill up the composting bin and are not included in the 1,000-use estimate.

⚠️ Disclaimer:
These estimates are based on typical, steady use. The actual number of solid uses a composting bin can handle may vary significantly depending on climate, temperature, humidity, ventilation, and how much dry bulking material (like wood shavings) is added after each use.
