You do know that poo is combustible? In the Army, while in South Korea, we went out for our training exercises and lived in the field. Our camp consisted of tents. There was a common "latrine" area, which consisted of a 4 foot privacy fence consisting of a green tarp material and 1 barrel cut in half with a toilet seat sitting on top of each half. Every morning, someone was assigned to "latrine" duty. They had to take those barrels and set them on fire to burn up the contents. They doused it with a bit of diesel fuel (which was plentiful, since this was a tank battalion). The ash that remained was buried in a shallow 6 inch deep hole, which consisted of basically, one shovel scoop of dirt out of the ground, dump the ash and plop the dirt clod back on top. No, I never had to do "latrine duty."
But why couldn't you catch the solid contents in some kind of bucket with a filter that will let the water drain onto the ground and catch the solids. Then take the solids and simply burn them. If you live in the country, and neighbors not too close, you could get away with this. (maybe). Anyway, it's just a thought. Filter out the solids and let the water go to the ground. Burn the solids.
Here again, this is just an idea?
