Nice. I really like some of the solutions you have.

I think for the time being I am going to use the 55gal rain barrel that I have in my basement to store the waste and then use a sump pump that I also have to feed either a rain barrel outside or a drip irrigation set up for my shrub beds in the front of my house.

We have probably 25+ small shrubs plus trees, ornamental grasses and annuals that can use some watering.

The current idea is to run 1/4" drip lines to the plants under the mulch and then put the sump pump on a timer to water them. Since the rainbarrel in the basement has a overflow near the top I will just put that into the drian in the basement for the time being.

We already have dual flush toilet as our house is certified Built Green already and I cant be bother to haul buckets up to manually flush the toilets.

I may also look into the hotwater option too.
