Urine for a few Bucks

TAKING THE PISS: The city of Durban is looking to buy liquid waste (urine) to encourage residents to use dry toilets. The city has installed some 90 000 dry toilets in poor areas, and now wants to install 20-litre containers on 500 of them to capture nitrate, phosphorus and potassium-rich urine to be used as fertiliser, for which it will pay up to R30 a week.
