This isn't a good idea because the irate sanitation workers can easily identify WHO put it in THIS trash can. Retaliation would be brutal and swift, probably before the truck drives away!

ups.com: meaning that if you never had it in a bucket, porta-potti, holding tank, etc it isn't being discharged from your vessel. Actually the Federal law says it has to be an INSTALLED device, so his bucket is quite legal to throw it over the side from, balancing out the effects of indecency and exposure laws quite nicely. Is a portapotti you just sit on the deck "installed"? Not if it's not bolted down with some kind of clamping device, is it? What about: http://www.hi-techredneck.com/Redneck_toilet.jpg I see it's bolted to the deck, so I'd think it came in as an "installed device" requiring compliance. But, then there's: http://www.hi-techredneck.com/reststop.jpg Which can easily be picked up and put in ones '76 F150 bed so it would NOT be an "installed device", would it? On many vessels, such as: http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_bass_boat.htm there's no room, so the bucket must be rinsed out in the lake before filling it with the catch from the stringer to take home.... Here's a camper in compliance: http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_camping.htm Obviously, the bucket to the right of the steps is not an "installed device" and is in compliance with the law. He simply carries it away from his camper in the blue 4-wheel-drive delivery vehicle. Here aboard the high speed picnic boat, M/V "Redneck Express", there is plenty of room for an "installed device" but the owner has chosen to use the direct-overboard method, probably while leaning against one of the stancions in the corner to leeward, of course: http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_express.htm Obviously, the design of the uninstalled device must be a consideration: http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_swan_dive.htm To save the limited space aboard, this boater has designed his sanitation equipment to perform "dual functions": http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_guitar.htm Here's another example of multipurpose sanitation equipment that stows easily aboard: http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_horseshoes.htm Your yacht isn't the only one with no need of "installed devices": http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_yacht.htm Twin engines, huge lazerettes, big flybridge, independently-steerable Z drives for easy docking in cramped marinas. Other yachtsmen must be just green with envy.... And, I bet dollar-for-dollar, his family enjoys this yacht much more than the owner of a 70' Hatteras that doesn't have a fingerprint on the deck. -- There's amazing intelligence in the Universe.

@d34g2000cwd.googlegroups.com: I had to laugh at this line: http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/redneck_golfcart.htm What about this one? "Installed device" or not? Will he be needing a pumpout at the clubhouse? -- There's amazing intelligence in the Universe. You can tell because none of them ever called Earth. |

If Kitty Litter works for a cat, why wouldn't it work for a human? Some brands claim to be flushable, so they might not be of too much concern in a body of water. Also not as obvious to surrounding boaters as all you'd have to do is use the litter scoop to toss lumps over the side rather than hefting a nice white bucket. |

Sheeeesh....these guys have a hard enough job. They sell millions of Pampers and Depends in the US and 99.999% of them end up in the trash. Yucky but a fact of life for the trash man Yeah, but the OP's talking about a bucket also containing liquid. |

I am thinking of using a 3-gal bucket and lining it with layers of plastic bags, and use it as a potty. But I am wondering what I am going to do with all these bags of human wastes: o Do I need to open each bag when I get back home and dump the content into my toilet? :( o Should I simply dump all the bags of human wastes into my trash can and let the sanitation worker to remove it along with other household trashes? Any idea? Thanks in advance for any info. Jay Chan Can you imagine being the trash collector who opens that can after some sharp object pierces the bag. Does that answer your question? Sheeeesh....these guys have a hard enough job. Thanks for pointing out that leaving bags of human waste in trash can is not an acceptable way to get rid of the stuffs from the potty. Seem like I will have to open each bag and dump the content into the toilet. I am really not looking forward in doing this task; but this should give me enough incentive to force everyone to go to bathroom before getting on my boat. Jay Chan |

Thanks for concurring with Joe about the fact that we cannot leave bags of human waste in trash can. I didn't know this. I guess dumping the content into a toilet is a better way because the local government should have the facility to properly treat the sewage. Jay Chan |

Come back and tell us all about what happens when the bucket tips over and fills the boat with fun stuff. No, this is not supposed to happen. The idea is that people should tie a knot to "kind of" seal the plastic bag after finishing their "business". Of course, there is nothing to prevent people from not sealing the bag though. Therefore, I plan to build kind of a box to surround the bucket and seat the bucket inside the box. Jay Chan |

Jay Chan I was thinking more in terms of being considerate toward the people who pick up your trash, in all sorts of atrocious weather. Even though many trucks have things that do the lifting, the people are still standing right there. Getting splashed would not be an enjoyable thing, and it would probably endanger their health as well. |
