Just before I crap, I pump water into the "hole" and put some paper in with
blue juice. Do my duty. Put more water in then close the lid and pull the
gallows door to "release the 'ounds". I have only gotten odor when I didn't
use the proper amount of blue juice. I dump my dump at specified sites for
$3.00 to $5.00, using the supplied tube, which stores in the bottom of the
dumpster, using rubber gloves and the provided hose/water source. I hose it
out and off, dry the outside with a towel, put in some blue juice and a
little water for odor-reduction maintenance, snap the two halves back
together and dream of my next interpersonal experience with MY VISA POTTY
248 s-----r. Oh, I then restore said VISA to its "shotgun" position just
inside the side sliding door, just under the edge of the bed, ready to
serve.
I have a close relationship with my dumpster as I sleep with it ... well, at
least in the same room. With normal dumping intervals (me) said dumpster can
store about 5 days worth of dumping before it becomes necessary to empty.

My suggestion: go to a retailer which sells these s------s and look at them
first-hand and quiz the sales person. Try several different retailers until
you find satisfaction. They probably have their personal s------g
expereinces.

Best,

bob
