Here’s how to manage it cleanly on the go: ### 1. Use Compostable Bags When dumping the solids bin from the OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet System, use a 4-6 gallon compostable plastic bag. If none available recycle plastic bags work well too. For the NOMAD by OGO™ Compost Toilet system we suggest a 8-10 gallon trash bag to ensure proper handling. Do what works for you. Be safe. Follow good hygiene, wear gloves while handling compost waste mixture.![OGOTM Coco Coir Single Pack\_1](https://learn.ogotoilet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OGOTM%20Coco%20Coir%20Single%20Pack_1.png?width=688&height=688&name=OGOTM%20Coco%20Coir%20Single%20Pack_1.png) ### 2. Tie It Off Once full, **remove the bag and tie it securely**. OGO™ systems keep solids dry—so you won’t be dealing with sloshy messes. ### 3. Trash It or Compost It - You can safely **place the tied bag in any standard trash bin**. The contents will continue to **break down inside the bag**. - If you’re stationary or heading to a compost-friendly destination, drop the bag into your compost pile and cover with dry materials. --- ### Tropical or Humid Conditions **Problem:** Medium becomes too wet or breaks down prematurely **Solution:** - Include  a **drier medium** like peat moss to the mixture - Add extra medium after each use - Dump more frequently to prevent compaction ### Overloaded Bag or Resistance **Problem (ORIGIN):** Motor slows or agitator seems strained **Solution:** - Empty the bin as soon as this happens - Avoid overly moist mediums - Add medium **before and after use** to improve consistency ![Amzon Store Shopabble Image-png](https://learn.ogotoilet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Amzon%20Store%20Shopabble%20Image-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=Amzon%20Store%20Shopabble%20Image-png.png)   - [01.
