dry toilet
Compost toilet type
A dry toilet is a toilet that operates without water for flushing, instead collecting human waste in a container or pit below.
Types include pit latrines, composting toilets, and incinerating toilets.
Dry toilets are common where water is scarce, plumbing unavailable, or environmental concerns favor waterless sanitation: The cabin had a dry toilet out back.
