EXCHANGING THE BIO BAG
The Bio Bag will need to be changed on a regular basis. The rate of filling will depend on the
number of users. When the bag becomes approximately 70% full, you will need to replace it
with a new Bio Bag by following these instructions.
Please ensure you wear protective glasses, face mask & gloves.
1.
Identify an area that is suitable to empty the compost into a hole (
not within 100m of a
potable water supply)
on your property. Cover the top of the compost pile with at least
100mm of soil or mulch. Alternatively, check with your local government if would allow you
to mix the toilet compost with your general garden compost.
2.
Carefully lift the lid slightly, and then carefully disconnect the urine diversion by unclicking
the connection (same as a garden hose) Cover the surface with 3
-
5cm of Wood Shavings.
Now twist the Bio Bag closed, remove the bin and Bio Bag as one. This will help if the Bio
Bag has already begun to break down. Bury the Bio Bag into the previously selected area
and cover.
3.
Rinse bin if required, place a new Bio Bag in to the bin. To reduce the chance of soiling
the bin, (in case the Bio Bag breaks down prematurely), cover the floor of the bin with
some pine wood shavings or even use a conventional bin liner.
Now redo Step 5, Assembling the compost bin. And then you
’
re ready to go
again.
