Living with composting toilets successfully in your Airbnb

Wouldn't you love to have a yarn like this?

Dan, the Airbnb Host

"We’ve got this cute Airbnb cabin in the woods—think cozy vibes, big windows, perfect for city folks needing a break. To make it eco-friendly, we installed a composting toilet, and it’s been a total hit. It’s sleek, smells like nothing (thank you, vent!), and guests find it super easy to use. We just sprinkle in some media, and it’s good for their whole stay. It’s no hassle at all, and it’s helped our listing pop on Airbnb—people love the sustainable angle. Plus, it saves us on water bills, so we can keep the place affordable. This toilet’s made hosting feel like we’re doing something good for the world!"

Why Compost in Airbnbs?

In the competitive world of Airbnbs, providing a unique and eco-friendly experience can set your property apart from the rest. Composting toilets offer a sustainable sanitation solution that enhances your guests' stay while reducing your environmental footprint. With the convenience of waterless operation and minimal maintenance, composting toilets ensure that your guests enjoy comfort without compromising on luxury.

What you need to know!

Composting toilets operate differently from conventional plumbing systems but provide the same level of hygiene and comfort your guests expect. Understanding how these systems work is essential for seamless integration into your Airbnb.

Here are a few important considerations for using composting toilets in your Airbnb:

• Ventilation: Proper venting is crucial for odour control. Ensure the vent outlet is discreetly placed to maintain the aesthetic appeal of your space while effectively eliminating odors.
• Capacity: Assess the capacity of your composting toilet based on your occupancy rates. Depending on the size of your property and the frequency of guest turnover, additional composting chambers may be necessary for peak seasons.
• Tailored Solutions: Every Airbnb is unique, so we encourage you to reach out to us at 0800 022 027 for personalized recommendations on the best composting toilet systems to fit your business model.
• Where to Get Your Compost Media (System Bulking Agent & Treatments): Selecting the right compost media is vital for the efficiency of your composting toilets. We offer guidance on the ideal media types and where to source them, ensuring your operations run smoothly. Knowing how to store and use the necessary materials allows for hassle-free management while providing a superior experience for your guests.

What to do with your composted materials (the end product)

Managing composted materials effectively is key to maintaining a clean and welcoming Airbnb.

For successful Airbnb operations:

✓ You can use composted materials to enrich gardens or landscaping on your property, promoting sustainability while enhancing the natural beauty of your space.

✓ If regulations allow, create a composting area where guests can engage in the process, educating them on sustainable practices and enriching their stay.

If waste disposal options are limited:

✓ Plan for transporting composted materials to appropriate disposal facilities or further composting at home, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

✓ Consider storing the compost until you can arrange proper disposal, maintaining a clean and inviting environment for your guests.

Sustainable results!

Integrating composting toilets into your Airbnb not only aligns with sustainable practices but also enhances your guests’ experience. By promoting eco-friendly waste management, you reduce your environmental impact while providing modern and comfortable accommodations, making your property stand out in a crowded market.
