Emptying the Envirolet®/SG Composting Toilet System is a fast and easy process. Emptying involves using the Rake Bar to empty
the composted material down into the soil collection tray.

• Emptying of your Envirolet®/SG can be as little as once per year, depending on type and frequency of use.
• However, heavy use may require emptying more often.

INDICATIONS OF EMPTYING REQUIRED
• The need and time to empty your system will be indirect relation to the frequency.
• An indication that you need to empty your system is when the compost in the toilet system no longer reduces in height (from
removal of water by evaporation and microbe-action) or if it appears to be full, then it is time to empty.
BEFORE YOU EMPTY - EMPTYING WAIT TIMES
• Please read entire emptying instructions carefully before you begin emptying process.
• It is recommended to rake down the compost into the soil collection tray up to two weeks prior to removal.
• Do not use Envirolet®/SG Composting System for at least 48 hours before emptying. This is to allow for liquid waste and water
recently added to system to have a chance to evaporate and/or drain from system. If possible, leave the system for at least 72
hours without use before emptying. This is highly recommended in Non-Electric and/or Systems that use water to flush (Low
Water Remote and FlushSmart VF models).
• During 48-72 hour wait period, please leave system running in Position 2/Normal Mode (Fans + Heater in AC Electric models or
Dual Fans in 12VDC models) to speed up drying and evaporation process.
• Systems used in residential homes (all-year round) will have to empty the system about once every 3-6 months.
