Examples of camping waste bags

  • Waste Alleviation and Gelling (WAG) bag
    • Used in the isolated backcountry and other applications where burying of human urine and feces is not an option, the Waste Alleviation and Gelling (WAG) bag contains a gelling powder that solidifies the waste. The bags are made from puncture resistant material and are intended to be carried out for disposal in a garbage bin. 
  • Portable toilet systems
    • Used in camping and other applications where access to toilet facilities is limited, portable toilet systems capture human liquid and solid waste in a bag with no other treatment. 

  • Put into your black cart

Put sealed camping waste bags and portable toilet system bags into your black cart as garbage. 

  • Empty out feces and urine into a toilet or outhouse.
  • Make sure used bags are double bagged into a garbage bag and securely tied to prevent leaking.

Why can't WAG bags and portable toilet bags containing human waste be composted?

  • Regulations do not permit the deposit of human feces or urine directly in our composting programs.
  • Regardless of whether the human feces or urine is contained in a plastic or compostable plastic bag, this material is not acceptable in our composting programs.
