The unit consists of a waste holding tank, a flush water tank positioned on top of the waste holding tank, a bowl having an open lower discharge end positioned to discharge waste into the holding tank and an open upper end which receives flushing water, and an upwardly inclined valve member which is slidably mounted for movement between a position closing the discharge end of the bowl and an open position above the discharge end of the bowl so that waste can flow therethrough. An actuating rod attached to the valve member extends upwardly and rearwardly through the upper wall of the apparatus at a position behind the seat and a handle is attached to the upper end of the rod for conveniently moving the rod so as to actuate the valve member.
