Planning

• Need to book/sort out the toilets way more in advance, ideally 2-3 months before the event

• Pussoirs (for vaginas) would make a big difference so this is objective #1 for KB22

• @Jack Add link to list of Oekotoilet providers in DE

• @Jack add shopping list from 2021

• find a reliable local delivery person, because sending stuff (e.g. consumables) on site is not easy

• buy everything and enough of it beforehand (plus spares) so you can avoid leaving site to buy more things.

• Organize Boxes or simple crates per toilet cluster to equip it with the consumables and cleaning products - need to be rain-proof

• Set clear guidelines on what freiland covers and what we do (cost and operations)

• Collate advance lists of all the communication content and materials for build, strike, maintenance

  • Write checklist for setup, handed to each camp

    • Dedicate a toilet cluster to a camp for 24hrs

  • Checklist for maintenance (done by shit ninjas), handed to each camp

  • signs/ info on toilets (for users)

    • Put on the toilet which camp to go to in that 24hrs period for problem

    • Clearer instructions with the water management at hand washing station are necessary to keep things running

    • emergency instruction page (for eager shit-sorting users) per toilet cluster

    • Hand washing stations 

      • Only hands, not dishes or body wash

Build

• All toilets for the event need to arrive at least 24 hours before the event starts

• One of toilet leads on site for build, ideally 2 dedicated volunteers to help build them (depending on the model we use)

• Need clear instructions to build / take down the toilets (if applicable)

• Put Boxes or simple crates per toilet cluster to equip it (rain-proof)

• Don’t trust Ponk (Freiland) to wait for him to solve issues - better communication beforehand

Maintenance

• if toilets are small (like Ökolocus), they need to be checked every 4 hours

• If the black freiland toilets are full and leaky, then empty the blue barrel a lot, then more liquid will flow in, and then after some drainage the connection at the bottom of the bin can be changed over to a new toilet container

• If we use oekolocus again:

  • do a barrel swap before 10AM and at 12 midnight

  • empty the temporary blue barrels before they get too full

  • Difficult to handle big heavy barrels (full 50L) if they have to be pushed up into the septic tank

Strike

• Give strike guidelines on how to pack up and store toilet, ideally one toilet realizer is part of strike team

• Need to strike majority of toilets on days 1-2 of strike

• Taking down electricity affects toilets and all pissoirs, so toilet strike needs to happen before all the electricity is demounted or done in a coordinated fashion with power strike

• Coordinate with freiland when they take down their toilets. The cluster at Deine Mudda was taken down without consulting with any of toilet realizers

• Contact strike lead on inventory
