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.
