Abstract

A waste storage device that includes a storage compartment, a toilet seat with an opening providing access to the storage compartment, and a sealing mechanism operative to isolate deposited waste events within individually sealed portions of the storage compartment. The storage compartment preferably retains a plurality of the individually sealed portions in a connected series along a length of the storage compartment. The waste storage device is useful in a process that accepts consideration-based private civil security subscriptions from subscribers with respect to providing civilly-catastrophic event-based access to a shelter sanitation storage container, which may be the waste disposal device. The process also maintains the shelter sanitation storage container pending a need to permit continued subscription-based access to the shelter sanitation storage container.

Claims

1. A waste storage device comprising:

a storage compartment;

a toilet seat having an opening providing access to the storage compartment; and

a sealing mechanism operative to isolate deposited waste events within individually sealed portions of the storage compartment, such that the storage compartment will retain a plurality of individually sealed portions in a connected series along a length of the storage compartment.

2. The waste storage device of claim 1, wherein the storage compartment comprises a flexible material.

3. The waste storage device of claim 2, wherein the flexible material is a plastic.

4. The waste storage device of claim 2, wherein the individually sealed portions of the storage compartment comprise a pouch formed from the flexible material between spaced twists of the storage compartment, the pouch being formed by the sealing mechanism.

5. The waste storage device of claim 2, further comprising a cartridge containing the flexible material and configured for removal of the flexible material therefrom during use.

6. The waste storage device of claim 1, further comprising a cover operative to seal the opening when the waste storage device is not in use in order to substantially isolate an interior of the waste storage device from the surroundings.

7. The waste storage device of claim 6, wherein the cover is rotatably threaded to the waste storage device.

8. The waste storage device of claim 7, further comprising a seal received between the cover and the waste storage device.

9. The waste storage device of claim 1, further comprising a size and weight such that the waste storage device is movable by a single adult human of average size.

10. The waste storage device of claim 1, wherein the waste storage device includes a vent providing an exhaust communication between an interior of the waste storage device and an environment remote from the waste storage device.

11. The waste storage device of claim 10, wherein the interior has a negative pressure.

12. The waste storage device of claim 1, wherein the sealing mechanism comprises a manual actuator to form the individually sealed portions of the storage compartment.

13. The waste storage device of claim 1, wherein the storage compartment is substantially free of liquid chemicals.

14. The waste storage device of claim 1, further comprising a second storage compartment positioned to receive liquid waste events, and wherein the storage compartment is positioned to receive solid waste events.

15. The waste storage device of claim 1, wherein the storage compartment includes a plurality of plastic layers.

16. A method comprising:

accepting consideration-based private civil security subscriptions from subscribers with respect to providing civilly-catastrophic event-based access to a shelter sanitation storage container; and

maintaining the shelter sanitation storage container pending a need to permit continued subscription-based access to the shelter sanitation storage container.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the need comprises a shelter sanitation storage container achieving at least a predetermined capacity.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the maintaining comprises removing at least a portion of the shelter sanitation storage container.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the maintaining further comprises replacing at least a portion of the shelter sanitation storage container.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein maintaining includes monitoring a status of the shelter sanitation storage container.

21. The method of claim 16, wherein the shelter sanitation storage container comprises a waste storage container movable by a single adult human of average size.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the waste storage container movable by a single adult human of average size includes:

a storage compartment;

a toilet seat having an opening providing access to the storage compartment; and

a sealing mechanism operative to isolate deposited waste events within individually sealed portions of the storage compartment, such that the storage compartment will retain a plurality of the individually sealed portions in a connected series along a length of the storage compartment.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein the maintaining comprises removing the storage compartment from the waste storage container upon achieving at least a predetermined level of waste in the storage compartment.

24. The method of claim 23, wherein the maintaining further comprises replacing the storage compartment having the predetermined level of waste with another storage compartment.
