DIY Sustainable Septic Tank Made with Recycled Tires

Sustainable Septic Tank Made with Recycled Tires

We are using a conventional flush toilet, flushed with the gray water once the plants have used it. The waste and water flush down into our own onsite sewerage system. It goes into our ‘septic system’ underground which is a deep cell lined with large car tires and gravel and tiny microorganisms which digest and feed off the waste.

The water then flows outside through a pipe away from the house to our exterior black water cell which will be planted with citrus trees. See how to build one too!
