# Ongrid vs Offgrid Waste Monitoring

Choosing the right waste management system for your setup

## Waste infrastructure options

The key is matching each output with the best solution for your site. We will help you assess what waste management option is best for your site: Ongrid or Offgrid.

### Now that the Wasted* Conveyor has separated the pee & poo, where does it go?

## Ongrid Waste Monitoring:

All waste streams are sourced into containers, ensuring no waste encounters the ground. We’ve used various containers like 55-gallon barrels and 250-gallon IBC totes. By doing so, typically, no permitting is required since our Wasted* truck pumps out the waste as if it was a portable toilet. The best part is that all the collected pee is turned into fertilizers!

### Key Benefits

**Efficient Servicing**

Above-ground containment allows for quick removal by service trucks.

**Circularity**

Wasted* turns the essential nutrients in the collected urine into our recycled fertilizers, like [WeeBloom](https://notwasted.earth/products/weebloom-recycled-fertilizer?variant=50532003709217).

**Flexible Permitting**

Most sites will not need a permit since the waste is fully contained above ground.

### Pricing

**Remote Sensor Waste Monitoring** starts at $85/month

**Event Based Servicing**

If you’re looking to install the Ongrid System at an event venue, we offer a revenue-sharing program. Inquire for more info.

**Single Trip Servicing** – alternative option

Calculated based on the distance from the Wasted*Hub.

## Offgrid Waste Monitoring:

The Offgrid waste management infrastructure is ideal for managing waste in remote areas, typically areas that a truck cannot drive to. It uses natural processes to safely return urine to the soil via a standard leach field, returning nutrients back to the earth. Meanwhile, in a basement-like chamber, the poop and toilet paper gets deposited and begins to dehydrate into a natural soil amendment.

### Key Benefits

**Environmental Harmony**

Leverages natural processes to manage waste without chemicals or additives.

**Minimal Maintenance**

Requires little ongoing effort thanks to self-sustaining systems.

**Cost Effective**

No recurring costs to remove the waste since it is being reintroduced on site.

### Pricing

**N/A**

Costs include decomposition vault and leach field hardware.

_Note that the Offgrid waste monitoring system typically requires a permit, a cost that differs from county to county._
