Outdoor toilets, often referred to as pit latrines or composting toilets, are sanitation facilities located outside of buildings. They are commonly used in rural areas, campsites, and during outdoor events where traditional indoor plumbing is unavailable. These toilets typically consist of a simple structure with a seat over a hole in the ground, allowing waste to be collected and decomposed naturally. Many outdoor toilets are designed to minimize environmental impact. For instance, composting toilets use aerobic decomposition to break down waste, turning it into compost that can be safely used in gardening. Proper maintenance and hygiene practices are essential to ensure these facilities remain clean and functional.
