I use a bucket/compost pile system. It works great. However I once saw a kid at my old apartment taking out the trash. He got about 10 feet from the dumpster from behind and heaved the bag over the wall. The lid was closed and he hit the corner anyway so the bag broke open and garbage flew everywhere. He was already walking away. Imagine junior emptying the composting toilet. It is unfortunate but I understand why the DOH only approves expensive foolproof composting toilets. Not everyone is willing or able to do what it takes to make a composting system work. Some people can't get their trash all the way to the dump. The county has to require a system that is foolproof and robust.
