  • Humanure Sanitation the “No Waste, No Pollution, Nothing to Dispose Of” Toilet System
    Humanure Sanitation The “no waste, no pollution, nothing to dispose of” toilet system. Author: Joseph Jenkins, Joseph Jenkins, Inc., 143 Forest Lane, Grove City, PA 16127 USA; [email protected]; http://www.humanurehandbook.com ABSTRACT: Humanure toilets are designed to collect human excreta, including fecal material and urine together without separation, along with a carbon (plant cellulose-based) cover material, for the purpose of achieving an odor-free thermophilic (heat-producing) organic mass. The thermophilic phase renders the organic material hygienically safe by destroying pathogenic organisms, thereby creating a final product, humus, which is suitable for growing food. These toilets are inexpensive and very simple in design and implementation. They do not produce or dispose of waste and they create no environmental pollution. This study looks at various humanure systems in the United States. KEYWORDS: compost toilet, humanure, Joseph Jenkins, sanitation, thermophilic Introduction: What is "Humanure Sanitation"? The humanure sanitation system is a compost toilet system designed and intended to promote the thermophilic composting of human excrement. Human excreta, including fecal material and urine, are not considered waste materials that need to be disposed of. Instead, they are considered resource materials that must be recycled and reclaimed for reuse. When properly used and managed, a humanure toilet system requires virtually no water, produces no waste, creates no environmental pollution, attracts no flies, costs very little, requires no urine diversion, and produces no odor. Instead of waste, the toilet produces humus, a valuable resource that can safely grow food for human beings. It can be constructed for very little money or no money at all if recycled materials are used.

  • The Impact of an Operation and Management Intervention on Toilet
    Buxton et al. BMC Public Health (2019) 19:1680 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7833-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The impact of an operation and management intervention on toilet usability in schools in the Philippines: a cluster randomised controlled trial Helen Buxton1, Jed Dimaisip-Nabuab2, Denise Duijster3, Bella Monse4, Habib Benzian5 and Robert Dreibelbis1* Abstract Background: Access to usable water, sanitation and hygiene provision in schools is included within indicators in the Sustainable Development Goals. Progress towards these indicators is dependent on developing an understanding of which intervention components are most effective to operate and maintain usable services. This study aimed to determine the impact of a school toilet operation and management intervention in the Philippines on toilet usability and student and teacher satisfaction, adjusted for clustering at school level. Methods: In a non-blinded cluster randomised controlled trial, we compared improvements in usability and cleanliness of school toilets among those schools receiving a low-cost, replicable intervention. Toilet usability was measured based on Sustainable Development Goal indicators related to school sanitation defined by the UNICEF/ WHO Joint Monitoring Programme for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. Intervention schools received consumables, support kits, and structured tools designed to facilitate operation and maintenance of sanitation facilities. The primary outcome, toilet usability and cleanliness, was compared through a difference-in-difference analysis of toilet usability. Secondary outcomes of student and teacher satisfaction were measured through a survey at endline. All outcomes were adjusted for clustering at school level. Results: 20 eligible schools in the Batangas region of the Philippines were randomly selected and allocated to either control or intervention group.

  • UNC Case Study 7/05.QXD
    TToiletoilet BowlBowl BrushBrush OverhaulOverhaul New ergonomic toilet brush system cleans faster, easier and improves UNC Charlotte staff morale. t the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s A Housing Department, Housekeeping Coordinator Marie Walley has made it her business to make restroom cleaning an ergonomic experience. She is responsible for maintaining clean and sanitary restrooms in twelve residence halls. She is also in charge of protecting the 39-person housekeeping staff from work-related injuries. Walley successfully manages her responsibilities with the help of an ergonomic restroom cleaning system from Unger Enterprises that includes such tools as a flat mop system and sanitary brush, a combination scrubber and squeegee. In January 2005, Walley expanded this restroom cleaning kit when she added Unger’s ergonomic toilet bowl brush system designed specifically for professional cleaners. The ErgoToiletBowlBrush's long, curved handle reaches and scrubs all surfaces inside bowl withoutbending or straining. "Implementing a restroom cleaning system dramatically increased productivity and improved process. This allowed us to clean faster with less staff morale," Walley said. "For example, the mop physical strain on our employees. But I knew I system took seven to eight pounds off the mopping wouldn’t be satisfied until I replaced all bowl mops for toilet and urinal cleaning. They are simply unsanitary and difficult to use." Ergonomic toilet bowl brush systems with holder are now replacing traditional bowl mops and improper holders. Several of these systems have been introduced in three of UNC’s housing high rises. According to Walley, her staff greatly appreciates the time savings and the products’ ease of use.
