No. This camping toilet is designed to be self-contained and the only extra expense you will need with this unit is the odor control packets or liquid whichever you prefer. The bottom is completely separate from the top with a spout complete with a heavy duty sealed screw-on cap that folds into it's own self contained storage spot while you're using it or out if you need to empty it; usually into your toilet at home or any approved RV dump site. I have had one in my semi-truck for over four years and have never had a leak due to the design or proper use of this unit. These toilets are sturdy and I highly recommend them.

No there's a holding tank with a valve on it that can be emptied later. See manufacturer's website for more info.

No it doesn't. To empty, you just carry it to the dump station, remove the seat, swing the drain tube out, and drain directly into the pipe.

No, it uses liquid sanitation. I suppose you could line it with a bag if you wanted too.

No, this product does not use a bio-waste bag. You fill the top part of the container with water and deoderizer, and then you flush when done using it. The bottom container empties into a toilet and can be flushed.

No. I guess it could, but no. This has a tank with a chemical water solution. You just dump it in an outside latrine or in any toilet when filled.

Yes. I use off-the-shelf bags; however, you do get a supply from simplehuman when you purchase this wonderful can.

the bags have a powdery residue in them, but it's not enough to work on it's own. I purchased extra bio-gel when I bought this.

No. It is just a container to store biodegradable waste like veggies and eggshells. It is not a composter.

I'm not sure of the dimensions of the bio bag so I can't tell you if it would stick out. I don't think it's necessary to have a bag inside. This container is amazing. It holds a lot and contains the odor! Good luck with your decision.

These bags are not biodegradable. They are made of 95% plastic; the cornstarch just helps the plastic break into pieces but they will still exist in the environment for hundreds of years.

I searched bio verses combust online and the differences are between them. All I can tell you is doo-right box states that a plastic bag can take up to 1000 years to fully degrade. These eco-friendly bags dissolve in approx. 24 months. Want more answers, contact the young man Jonathon at dooright.com

Sorry I wouldn't know, I used it straight from the bag. My plants are thriving.

China--says on the box. I checked Bio-Bags dog waste bags & they are made in Norway & the Earth Rated Poop Bags are also made in China. Hope that helps. Hard to find USA made products nowadays.

These liners aren't compostable (have not found any that are) but the diapers we use are so we leave the bag untied when we throw it away so that the diapers will compost in the landfill. if you tie up both ends then they won't compost in the bag the same with O2 and be a time capsule of stank for generations to come

Hi Pam, The bags do use mylar, mylar is a BoPET (biaxally oriented polyethene terepthalate) composition. It has been around since the 50s. And yes the mylar is in contact with the food. I guess it's up to personal choice if you use the bags. I see no harm using the bags, I only use them with dry goods.

Hi Christopher, That is up to you. The bio spray is to eliminate odors in the container so you don't need to empty it every day. Thanks, EZDogFences

The bag itself has the recycle symbol with the number 4 printed on it. Number 4-coded plastic is Low-density polyethylene, or LDPE, commonly used to manufacture shopping bags. So they are not biodegradable as far as I can determine.

Yes it does, and then I use 13 gallon drawstring bags from my grocery store. I have 2 of these great trash cans one I use for garbage and one for my recycling - couldn't ask for a better system!

I use bags from cereal, chips, or any large bag that will go into the garbage anyway. Grocery bags are recyclable so I would rather recycle and use what is going into the garbage any way. It doesn't smell up the house and it probably will sit there a week before we take out the trash.

First of all, I wouldn't wait until the bag was actually FULL, because that's disgusting. As for where you can safety discard your bag o' poo, that rather depends on where you are. Presumably, your carefully sealed bag can be discarded along with / in the same place as your other garbage.

No. Plastic is not biodegradable. Anyone who says otherwise is stretching the truth, at best, or lying. Some thin, light plastics will decay quickly but that just turns them into tiny pieces of non-degradable plastic. In lakes and oceans this is an increasing problem. There are plastic substitutes that are biodegradable such as some food packaging. I find these to be very good poop bags and I use them only away from home. Near home or in my yard, I use a pooper scooper and dispose without a bag.
