1. A method for providing waterless sanitation comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a waterless toilet system comprising a top seating unit matingly connected to a bottom receiving container, the top seating unit further comprising a bag cartridge with a continuous plastic tube that feeds into a mechanical sealing mechanism, the plastic tube having adhesive dots about 12 inches apart on the horizontal and perforations such that when sealed after use, the tube tears along a sealed perforation;
b. advancing the continuous plastic tube;
c. activating the mechanical sealing mechanism to seal a first end of the plastic tube to form a bag;
d. filling the bag with waste;
e. activating the mechanical sealing mechanism to completely enclose the waste within the bag by sealing a second end of the bag;
f. advancing the filled bag downwardly into the bottom receiving container and advancing the continuous plastic tube;
g. the sealed, filled bag tearing along the perforation and dropping into the bottom receiving container.

3. A system for providing waterless sanitation comprising a waterless toilet comprising:
- a top seating unit matingly connected to a bottom receiving container, the top seating unit further comprising a bag cartridge including a continuous plastic tube that feeds into a mechanical sealing mechanism, the plastic tube having adhesive dots about 12 inches apart on the horizontal;
wherein the mechanical sealing mechanism is operable for completely sealing a waste-filled portion of the continuous plastic tube to form a sealed bag, perforating the tube at the seal such that the tube tears along the sealed perforation, and advancing the sealed bag into the bottom receiving container, thereby providing a sanitary, waterless waste disposal system. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
