Hi Scarlett

We do use cat litter because we have two boys and I worry about the bucket being knocked over.  You line the bucket with a biodegradeable bin bag and fill the bottom of the bucket with cat litter (the wooden pellet type).  The next day lift out and tie your bag and you can pop it in the bin.  Just a wipe around with a detox wipe keeps the bucket clean.

We did visit a site in France a few years ago where some kind person was rinsing his loo out with the same tap and HOSE ! which people were filling up there drinking water, the tap concerned was drinking water...needless to say we used our own tap which came with the pitch. sends a shiver up your spine just thinking about it

We saw the opposite. At a horrible site in Brean, a kid of about 5 or 6 years was drinking out of the hose at the CDP, but horror of horrors, his dad (presumably) was standing nearby & didn't bat an eyelid  

By the way, if any newbies feel embarrassed about taking their bucket with a lid to the CDP, you could always get one of those red fire buckets

We use a bucket with a lid and put zoflora diluted in the bottom , it kills any odour and discinfects , we always use the cdp.

Weve bought this

Hi Littlebug

We've only used the bucket for wees not poos.  If your son pooed in the cat litter I'm not sure if it would be okay to put it in the rubbish?  Does anyone else know? 

I'd say we put an inch or two of cat litter in the bottom and empty each morning.  The cat litter does expand a lot when wet so don't overfill the bucket.
