In urban areas, sewer systems and water reclamation facilities are common solutions, but are not feasible in areas that are remote of have low population density. A waste-handling system was designed for remote areas that focuses on increasing standard of living and sanitation. These remote restrooms include a constructed bathroom with separation toilets and a water source, a storage system, a transportation system, and a waste-handling system. The waste-handling system has two modes: one for solid waste and one for urine. Black soldier flies are used to cultivate the solid waste, and ammonia production is used to recycle the urine into fertilizer. The restrooms are designed to run year-round and easily adapt to environmental changes while being low waste,low cost, low energy and low maintenance.
