Eco Off Grid sources its products from trusted, eco-conscious brands that prioritize durability and sustainability. Our founder, Matt Scott, gained firsthand experience in off-grid living while traveling across Australia in 2022 and 2023 with his family. During this journey, they relied on solar power, clean water solutions, and composting systems, which inspired the rigorous product selection process we use today.

For orders weighing over 30kg or marked as 'Bulky Items', special delivery arrangements are necessary. We recommend that bulky items be delivered to a business address or a local depot to avoid additional residential delivery charges.

The delivery cost shown at checkout includes all standard delivery charges, but any extra fees for arranging a tailgate service will be invoiced separately if required. This helps to ensure a smooth delivery experience, preventing any mishaps or injuries while keeping your items in pristine condition.

To prevent odours, ensure proper airflow with ventilation fans, add carbon-rich materials (such as sawdust or wood shavings), and regularly empty liquid tanks. Eco Off Grid composting toilets come equipped with features designed for the Australian climate, including efficient ventilation systems to maintain the right balance for composting.

Emptying frequency varies based on the toilet model, household size, and usage. Generally, solids should be emptied every 3–6 months, while liquids may need emptying weekly. For Australian households, following these guidelines helps maintain compliance with health standards. Eco Off Grid offers tools and accessories to assist with maintenance in compliance with local health and safety regulations.
What can I do if my composting toilet produces odour despite following recommended practices?
What can I do if my composting toilet produces odour despite following recommended practices?
