Abstract
A portable toilet includes a waste material receiving bowl having an inwardly sloping cross-section. The inwardly sloping cross-section has a plurality of angular flat sidewalls structured to direct toilet treatment and waste material solutions towards a storage zone of the bowl. The portable toilet also includes a plurality of agitators tethered within the bowl. The agitators may have a plurality of angular surfaces that aid in the formation of turbulent eddies within the toilet treatment solution.
