My mother has to use a beside potty for number 1 & 2. We have been using potty bags we can just toss out. Well, today we got a call from our landlord stating the Department of Sanitation sent them a warning about human excrement being in the dumpster at our address. The dumpster is shared by 4 other homes, so luckily they didn't know it was us but told us to make sure we don't do that because the DOS warned them that if it happened again they would terminate their contract with them, and we wouldn't have garbage services. Now I am concerned. What am I supposed to do? She uses the bathroom daily, so we have to change the bag daily. I don't know how we are supposed to dispose of it now. We are thinking about just letting her use the bucket in the potty, and we just dump it in the toilet and clean it out each day. The bag was just so much easier and less time-consuming since we already have so many other things we have to take care of with her as well as work and other daily life activities. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
Yes! How can dirty diapers and pet poop be allowed? Are there pets or babies in any of the other rentals this landlord has?
This seems to be discrimination on the basis of disability.
up and doggie bags are just solid, no chance of liquid leaking out onto workers, trucks etc. Just empty the potty into the toilet and flush. Easy peasy.
I never understood those bags. Just empty the bucket in your toilet and flush. Rinse the bucket well and like said put some water in it. I would use Clorox wipes to wash it out.
So no bag. Plastic is the dickens anyway. Just the bucket, and the periodic emptying into the toilet, brush and flush. Use a bit of bleach periodically to really sanitize.
Yes, plastic is easier. That's why we are burying our civilization in it.
I then just took it to the toilet and flushed it down and cleaned out the basin with ammonia, so it was ready for the next day.
That is such an easy solution.
Along those lines of thinking, does this mean that no one living in the town can have cats (because the litter box has to be emptied), dogs (their poop has to be bagged and thrown away), or babies (they're in diapers)? I hardly think that pet owners store their pets' waste and bring it to the city dump. Or that parents save their baby's dirty diapers and do the same.
Talk to the mayor. Seriously.
In the meantime, you're going to have to start emptying the commode into the flushing toilet. Yes, it's absolutely disgusting but until you hear from your town's mayor on what type of waste disposal is permitted, this is what you will have to do.
