@Helengraham My family has been using a very simple bucket composting system for our home for 2 years now! I'll never go back to a flush toilet in my house!
Humanure handbook all the way! We use wood shavings and straw in the compost pile. I dump the buckets and wash them out every 2 weeks or so. 5x 20L buckets for a family of 4. It really sucks when it's below -20, but it's below freezing for months at a time, so I've figured out ways to make it work. Still better than cleaning toilets.
@Helengraham We just bought and scavenged a bunch of plastic 5 gallon buckets and a toilet seat, and built a nice wooden cover that the bucket sits inside and the toilet seat attaches to. We have another bucket sitting next to the toilet with shavings.
