Abstract
A scale system includes a frame for placement over a toilet and a net to catch waste, for example from bowel movements. A scale is connected to the frame to register a change in tension experienced by the frame as waste is received by the net. The resulting weight measurement may be shown on a digital display. Once the user is done, a release lever on the frame may be triggered to release the net and waste into the toilet.
