Water, Water Everywhere… And yet no place for waste Living on a boat in one of London's canals is appealing to those looking to live life at a slower pace. But the question of what to do with their waste is one none can avoid. They have options such as storing their waste until it is pumped at desi gnated stations, or using a "cassette" toilet, which stores waste in smaller containers the owners then transport and dump themselves. Some have even resorted to the habit of bagging and binning, where they toss a bag of their waste in any public waste bin , although they acknowledge this is the least sanitary. Of the 5,000 inhabitants in the canals, around 500 are using compost toilets and these folks seem to be the most positive about their choice.
