Whatever your requirements - talk to us!
Welcome to Thunderboxes
Here at the Thunderbox Collective we make a variety of compost toilets to order, and can deliver anywhere in the UK. Or you can hire them for short term local events within our hire area. Thunderbox compost toilets use a virtually maintenance free system that is ideal for a wide variety of situations.
We have a strong environmental ethos and view sustainability as a priority. Our timber is sourced from sustainably managed Devon woodlands and compost is collected in recycled food containers.
Event Hire
From small events and festivals to weddings and other gatherings, Thunderbox compost toilets provide a carbon-friendly solution that is pleasant to use. Short term provision in Devon and Somerset only - sorry.
No Water or Electric
Thunderbox compost toilets are entirely off-grid, requiring no water or electricity. We can include solar lighting, and provide hand sanitiser dispensers for waterless locations.
Environment Agency Approved
We have been working with the Environment Agency to ensure that the Thunderbox compost toilet system is a safe one.
Pleasant to use, requires no water or electricity, and most importantly, makes great compost!
Creator of quality timber products with a strong environmental ethos
We all have an obligation to the planet that sustains us not to use more resources than we really need in order to survive. Thunderboxes are the perfect solution for those who take their carbon footprint seriously.
For Event Organisers
Hiring a Thunderbox compost toilet
Generally, the hire of a double Thunderbox compost toilet works out around £350 (or £175/seat) without servicing, but includes delivery (within 30 miles), installation and everything needed to make using a Thunderbox a pleasant experience. We will take all the waste away but take 'poo miles' seriously, so we don't travel more than 70 miles from our base in mid Devon for event hire. All our loos come with lighting, sawdust, loo roll, magazines, flowers and LOVE!

Environment Agency Approved
We've been building compost loos since 2003 and so we have considerable experience in all scales of events and sites. We have also been working with the Environment Agency over the last few years to develop the new code on composting human waste, based on the Thunderbox method. We hold risk assessments and safety records as well as special excemption licences for some of our clients. It is important to talk to us early in proceedings to allow time for the paper trail to catch up with our bacteria!

With low usage and up to 1000 litres capacity under your seat there’s no fear of ever getting full! Just swap the tanks over if you do.
