Abstract
An assembly and method for processing human waste includes providing a supporting base having an opening within which a waste reservoir is affixed.

The materials are deposited in the reservoir either prior to or upon accumulation of waste in the reservoir. The reservoir with the solidified waste is then sealed and transported to a collection facility.
Claims12
A method of handling waste, the method comprising:
- providing a single-use container for processing urine and/or vomit that is contaminated with a cytotoxic chemotherapy drug, said container having disposed therein a solidification material that forms a solidified waste when contacted with said urine and/or vomit, the solidification material including a mixture of an organic polymer and a cement, the organic polymer facilitating dispersal of the cement,
- adding the urine and/or vomit to the solidification material within said container, wherein upon contacting said urine and/or vomit with the solidification material, and without any mechanical mixing, a stable matrix is formed in which there is no free cytotoxic chemotherapy drug.
A single-use container for processing urine and/or vomit that contains a cytotoxic chemotherapy drug;
- said container having disposed therein a solidification material, packaged in water dissolvable plastic, that forms a solidified waste when contacted with said urine, feces and/or vomit, the solidification material including a mixture of an organic polymer and a cement, the organic polymer facilitating dispersal of the cement, whereupon contacting said urine, feces and/or vomit with the solidification material, a stable matrix is formed in which there is no free cytotoxic chemotherapy drug.
