Perhaps you can tell at a glance why I am so excited by this photo? I’ll tell you. We have a humanure compost toilet system built on wheelie bins. We love it. But the place we want to use the finished, composted humanure is over the hill from the toilet block.
At the moment, we’re loading full wheelie bins of humanure onto the back of the Milkwood truck and shipping it over the hill. It works as a system, but it isn’t ideal. Maybe these wheelie bin trailers will hold the answer!

Wheelie bins of humanure, composting happily at the back of the Milkwood Farm toilet block. But how best to get them over the hill to their final destination?
It might well be that one of these contraptions (designed to transporting wheelie bins of rubbish I imagine) would be a much better idea for our wheelie bin humanure toilets than our current plan that involves winches and skids to crank wheelie bins up onto the truck.
What a great idea! I’m excited.
