Abstract
The present invention relates to oil toilets where oil is used as a sealant to isolate unpleasant smell produced by waste materials. Waste materials enter oil in the storage container and sink since both solid waste and urine have specific gravity that is higher than that of oil. Excess oil is collected in the overflow container. It has a component for collection of fumes that are formed by the waste materials collected in the toilet. A cleaning means is utilized to remove waste materials from the toilet while at the same time it could be modified to reuse a substantial amount of the oil present in the toilet.
