How Much Capacity Does the Solids Bin Have

Understanding how much your compost toilet can hold helps you stay on top of maintenance without guessing. Whether you're using the OGO™ ORIGIN or the NOMAD by OGO™, each system is built to maximize space while keeping waste management clean and simple.

OGO™ ORIGIN: Built for Long-Term Use

The ORIGIN features an internal solids bin designed for high-capacity, full-time living.

• Capacity: Approximately 25–30 uses

• Designed for: Multiple users, full-time off-grid setups

• Emptying frequency: Every 2–4 weeks, depending on usage and number of users

The push-button electric agitator ensures even mixing, breaking down waste and toilet paper while extending time between cleanouts.

Tip: To maximize capacity, use a dry (but not dusty) compost medium and consider separating toilet paper into a nearby waste bin if you're aiming for longer cycles.

NOMAD by OGO™: Compact, Layer-Based Management

The NOMAD uses a compostable liner system that’s ideal for short trips and lighter use.

• Capacity: Around 8–10 uses per bag, when layered properly

• Designed for: 1–2 users, occasional or travel-based setups

• Emptying frequency: After each trip or every few days

Layering is simple: medium → waste → toilet paper → medium. Once the bag is ⅔ full, tie it off and discard.

Tip: For best performance, don’t overfill the bag—it’s better to empty a little early than too late.

Final Word

Whether you're living in an RV full-time or hitting the road for a weekend, knowing your capacity helps you plan better and empty less often. The OGO™ ORIGIN gives you long stretches between cleanouts, while the NOMAD keeps things easy and disposable with short-term flexibility.

Know your bin, know your limit—and enjoy the journey without the guesswork.
