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!

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.

What about this one? "Installed device" or not? Will he be needing a

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.

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.

Thanks Chuck. My monitor screen need wiping down anyway

How do we get rid of wastes that we leave in a potty? My boat is so
small that I cannot easily fit a porta potti into the existing
structure of the boat. 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.

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.

Yep.

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.

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.

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.
