How to Replace the Lid on Your OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet

Simple Instructions for a Quick Lid Replacement No need to stress over a cracked or broken lid. With just a basic tool and a few easy steps, you’ll have your OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet looking and working like new—fast.

What You’ll Need

  • A small flathead screwdriver or pin punch

  • A replacement lid for the OGO™ ORIGIN

  • (Optional) A small hammer or mallet for light tapping



Step-by-Step Lid Replacement

1. Remove the Damaged Lid

The OGO™ ORIGIN lid is secured with a hinge pin. To remove it:

  • Insert your screwdriver or punch into one end of the hinge pin.

  • Push the pin until it begins to slide out the opposite side.

  • Once exposed, pull the pin out completely.

  • Lift the lid off the toilet base.

If the pin feels stuck, gently wiggle your tool or apply light pressure until it moves.

2. Install the New Lid

  • Align the new lid’s hinge holes with the openings on the toilet body.

  • Slide the hinge pin back through the holes, keeping everything lined up.

  • Push the pin in by hand or use a small mallet to tap it gently into place.

  • Make sure the pin sits flush and even on both sides.

3. Test for Fit

Open and close the lid a few times to ensure it moves smoothly and the hinge pin is secure. It should stay firmly in place without sliding out.
