Alternative (Waterless) Toilets

You are here: Home / Get Involved / Sewage Handbook / Alternative (Waterless) Toilets

Alternative toilets handle “blackwater” (toilet waste) only, requiring manual disposal of the treated waste. Greywater from sinks and baths must be treated in a separate system. Alternative toilets, including composting, incinerating and chemical toilets, use little or no water to operate. Save The River may be able to provide anecdotal information about alternative toilet use in the 1000 Islands.

Types of Alternative Toilets

  • Composting Toilets
  • Small Composting Toilets
  • Incinerating Toilets
  • Water Conservation Toilets

Save The River is a 501(c)3 and was designated the Upper St. Lawrence Riverkeeper and is a member of the International Waterkeeper Alliance. The Waterkeeper Alliance is the world’s fastest growing environmental movement, with more than 300+ local Waterkeepers patrolling rivers, lakes and coastal waterways on 6 continents.
