How common is it for Americans to use the setup in pic related for their bathrooms?

I went to visit some relatives in Iowa, and got to stay in their house. They lived in a pretty small city, and had to do this because of something that had to do with their city sewage treatment.

Essentially, you had to throw the used TP in a separate bin, and then also scoop the turds back up and put them in yet another separate bin.

I've experienced the TP thing in hotels in Cyprus, Spain and Greece, but the scoop thing came as a complete shock and I thought they were joking.

Could some American shed some light on this? How prevalent is it?

Yeah, most of us use a fecaladel, might be weird to you but most of us use them.

I have actually seen this before, but not in America. My relatives in Denmark used one of those to scoop out the extraordinarily large shits they took every once in a while. They lived in a pretty old neighborhood though, a poopscoop shouldn't be a thing in modern western society

I live in SF, people don't have built in pipes so they just pour it onto the street.

Greek here. We're supposed to use fecaladles here as well in most places but I can't be bothered so I personally just flush the turd along with some drain cleaner and it works like a charm.

[Anonymous No.17697610]

What the hell? What does your backwards ass country do then? Just flush whole turds? You realize that goes to the water system and they can't clean a whole turd, right? Your whole country basically drinks poop water. That's nasty.

[Anonymous No.17697615]

These are used in a lot of the older places in Richmond, VA. the piping is old i assume so you have to scoop out the poop.

[Anonymous No.17697638]

I have them where I live. The piping and sewerage systems are old, so as a bit of a safeguard solid wastes (poo's) are scooped and placed in the bin rather than flushed. They can be flushed, however as pipes age and degrade the odds of having a blockage downstream isn't worth the inconvinence of taking your solid waste and placing it in a bin. Much like how tampons or soft wipes should not be flushed.

For some reason here in Tennessee, those are only allowed on below grade toilets (flush upwards to the sewer via pressure assist).

[Anonymous No.17697688]

>>17697657
You can still flush it but it has the chance of adverse effects downstream. As a rule of thumb I do not expect visitors in my house to use the ladle, and likewise when I am at someone elses house. But in my own home I do it to minimise chances of blockages downstream. It really isn't that much trouble.

failry common outside of London, Manchester, Liverpool or any big city.
Though its coming back more in places like Birmingham, Leicester and Leeds due to the muslim population even though they have the facilities to flush the turds.
There is a 4 mile stretch of the Thames that gets inundated with floaters due to the housing along the banks having a 'log flume' that leads directly in. Despite getting free fecaladels they still use it as its tradition now.
On Boris' campaign he sent one down Thames when visting one of these neighbourhoods

That is disgusting. I would not live in that city. I work in the trades to do With drainage and that is gross. Whole city needs an upgrade for sanitary purposes. Or they need onsite septic tanks and treatment if the property is large enough. I'm not in America but that's not 1st world levels

Similar setup in most small cities/towns in Australia. State capitals like melbourne and Sydney generally have high coverage of FT (feces-tolerant) or FS (feces-safe) plumbing. However i grew up in an outer suburb of Sydney and our area was still NF (No Feces) marked except for a couple of new estates. There’s a colour-coded label on the water meter indicating FT, FS or NF status for the building.

Yes I saw them talking about it. Did you not see all the other anons talking about them in their respective hometowns? Nice america-centric view. I never said, nor implied I was from America. You just took it as an opportunity to sound clever and smug - taking a pot shot at americans.

>Did you not see all the anons who said they have it in their cities in america?

Is it my responsibility to spoon feed you information? Do you lack the comprehension ability required to differentiate between different poster ID's? Your dumb assumptions made you look like a fool - and then again you double down and think that other posters talking about america has any relevance at all to my post. Stay stupid friend. Hopefully you graduate english comprehension class soon.

Its the only place in the country that has them left.
There is a big push to get rid of them as there is only one boat left in operation that skims the Thames the rest of the fleet has long been retired. They were effectionately known as Turd Cutters and the are is near the Isle of Dogs which got its nickname Pile 'O' Logs.
The maritime museum thats near the Cutty Sark still has some info about it and one of the steering wheels from a turdcutter. Otherwise its mostly memoryholed necause 'muh tourism'

Why is this a thread? I live in australia and we all use our hands to grab the turd out of the toilet and then we stomp it though the shower drain in order to crush it into little pieces so it won't block the pipes.
Only toilet paper and water should be flushed down the toilet directly... People don't actually flush shit down the toilet do they? That's just barbaric
