WC disposal
Were intending to do some wild camping in the Highlands later this year. Where do people dispose of the WC waste when there are few CLS and few club dues around?

You need sufficient storage, or constipation, till you get to a campsite.

Some people have a second toilet cassette secured under their van. One example in photo below.

There are a fair number of club sites (both clubs) and a load of commercial sites. ( Check out UK Campsite.) Just get yourself onto one of them for a night every so often. You’ll also have use of laundry facilities and all else that sites provide providing you are a paying customer for the night. Problem solved.

From what I have seen on site there seems a variation on the size of toilet cassette wastes. The first thing to work out is how quickly it fills with the number of people using it. The one time that I spent a few weeks in Scotland and was mainly wild camping (with a caravan) I was on my own. I was largely spending the day fishing and/or walking. Way from the caravan for 5 hours am and five hours pm and so several pees a day were away from the caravan. So 4 days between emptying worked for me. I did use a site then to shower, top up water and empty loo however on I also made use of public toilets a couple of times to empty loo.
Having a spare waste tank for the toilet is probably £100 well spent if more than one person given money saved on site fees.

If you are asking the question, you are not wild camping. This does not involve the use of a vehicle. Parking in layby's or supermarket car parks is often illegal, as well as inconsiderate to local people. Use Cl or CS sites if you want peace and quiet, and proper disposal facilities.

What are you talking about? We have no intention of sleeping in a supermarket car park legal or not. If you look at the club map you will see that both cl sites and club sites run out the further north you go. The question was responded to by the vast majority in a very helpful and positive manner. Yours was not.

Whilst at first glance that looks practical, even maybe ingenious, I'm not sure it's going to rate very highly in terms of street cred.....!
But also the plastic lugs that are holding the cassette in position are probably not rated for the weight of a full cassette and would surely shear after a few miles around some bumpy Scottish roads...?
If that isn't the full cassette then where do you store the full cassette, I dont think I would want it inside the van...!

In Scotland ----- "Wild camping" is done by camping in small tents far away from roads and civilisation.. Staying overnight by the side of a road or in a layby, a passing place, or car park, in a Caravan or Motorhome, is NOT wild camping.
Too many cases of waste, filth and rubbish being left by people who don't understand the difference, has led to many local authorities taking punitive action against those guilty of such activity.
Best to use a campsite or request permission of a land owner to park on his property overnight.
