We use commercially available large plastic bags that come with a little Kitty litter in them. This is required by the Antarctic Treaty when visiting there. We always have several Nalgene plastic bottles in different colors for water and urine. Dogs are no longer allowed in Antarctica because they can't learn to use the bags. Bags and bottled urine are flown out for disposal in Chile.

You can't dig a new outhouse but you can use a composting toilet, propane toilet or an approved septic system. The first two are very cheap, the latter costs a lot.
