Cassette Toilet
A flush toilet with a small, removable waste holding tank (cassette) that slides out from an exterior access door for dumping. Cassette toilets use a small amount of water per flush and typically hold 4-5 gallons of waste — enough for 2 people for about 3-5 days. They're a popular middle ground between a full black-tank toilet system (heavy, requires dump stations) and a composting toilet (no flushing). The cassette is dumped at any dump station or public toilet.
