Disposal of human waste
22 Disposal of human waste
Human waste brought to a depot is to be disposed of by emptying the contents of the human waste pans directly into a trench and by covering the human waste with at least 250 mm of earth.
Human waste is not to be left exposed in the trench, and the trench is not to be used again for the disposal of human waste until the contents of the trench have become assimilated with the soil.
A trench—
must be of adequate length, and
must be not more than 600 mm wide, and
must be not more than 600 mm or less than 250 mm deep (or of a depth approved by the Secretary of the Ministry of Health).
If the Secretary of the Ministry of Health has given (and not withdrawn) written approval of a method of disposal of human waste different from the method specified in subsection (1), that method may be used.
Except as otherwise provided in this Schedule, human waste is not to be spilt, emptied or deposited elsewhere than at a depot.
