An outhouse is a traditional pit latrine that relies on anaerobic (oxygen-free) decomposition, whereas a composting toilet uses aerobic (oxygenated) decomposition and urine diversion to break down waste without odors.
The Process In a traditional outhouse, liquids and solids mix in a deep pit, creating a sludge that produces methane gas and attracts pests. In contrast, a modern composting toilet like the Green Toilet separates liquids from solids immediately. This separation allows the solids to stay dry and oxygenated, which facilitates a clean, garden-style composting process.
The Example For instance, while a family of four must abandon and move an outhouse building every 2 to 5 years once the pit is full, the same family using a Green Toilet simply swaps a removable, wheeled canister every four months, allowing the waste to finish composting into nutrient-rich soil that can be used on non-edible landscaping.
