• the lid, when engaged by a user toward a closed position, causes the waste containment mechanism to first move toward an open position and second release to a closed position, not until the lid is fully in a closed position does the waste containment mechanism begin to first move toward the open position and second release to the closed position;
• and
• the waste containment assembly is a removable and replaceable component and further includes a closure mechanism, wherein the closure mechanism is engaged when the cover assembly is disconnected from the housing receptacle;
• and
• an inner compartment for receiving the human bodily waste products, the inner compartment being accessible when the lid is in an open position, and wherein the inner compartment is above the waste containment mechanism.
