Can anyone recommend any good books on alternative solid waste disposal systems? We can use them here in the VI. From what I've read in the building code is that you have the septic, but instead of the usual leach lines you have a series of trenches with plants that filter the waste.

No good books, but it looks like the Canadians have found a cheaper method......just dump it in the street.
That's a s***ty thing to say :^P
Unlike the Mexico city sewer explosion
Can you use a composting toilet?

I found out that we can use greywater systems which is just simpler name for alternative solid waste disposal systems. I'll probably have two. One for the solid waste (after going through the septic), and the other for water from the tub/shower, sinks and washing machine (which will be used to water the plants that won't be used for food). Water conservation will be very important since I live on an island and my water will be collected from the roof of the house and stored in an underground cistern.
I hate to say it but composting toilets are not aesthetically (spelling?) pleasing.
Double check your allowances and definitions.
