The 9 Best Composting Toilets
We spent 26 hours on research, videography, and editing, to review the top choices for this wiki. There are a number of reasons not to run gallons of water down the drain every time nature calls, and a composting toilet provides a practical alternative, whether it's permanently installed in a sticks-and-bricks facility or set up temporarily for portable potty breaks. Our selection includes urine-separating options complete with built-in ventilation, as well as low-tech solutions for camping. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to support our work. Skip to the best composting toilet on Amazon.
