Whatever your requirements - talk to us!
Welcome to Thunderboxes
Here at the Thunderbox Collective we make a variety of compost toilets to order, or you can hire them for festivals and other short term events. 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, weddings and camps to larger festivals, Thunderbox compost toilets provide a solution that is pleasant to use. 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
Those of you with larger events will usually need site specific discussions beforehand but will have the advantage of economy of scale. Generally, the hire of a double Thunderbox compost toilet works out around £350 (or £175/seat) without servicing, but includes delivery (within 30 miles), collection and subsequent disposal. We take 'poo miles' seriously, so we don't travel more than 70 miles from our base in mid Devon for small events. 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!
