It is recommended to carry a bag of sawdust to spread over the waste once it is finished, so the smell is trapped and the evacuation is not exposed, this can make it possible for the bucket to continue to be used several times if you are going to have it in a secluded place.
You can at the end of the day, compost this waste also if you have a compost or permaculture garden, your natural waste will have a good use if you add it to the compost. Otherwise, by digging a hole in the ground with a relevant depth, it is enough to bury the waste that in the end will be integrated into the ground without causing contamination.
