Our design is simple and low-tech. Liquids and solids collect in one chamber. All deposits are covered with a scoop of sawdust. Swap fresh bins in as needed from a hatch at the back of the dunny. Pop a lid on and you’re ready to compost the business.

Wairarapa’s daily newspaper approached Little Green Dunny in Feb 2020, when the region was experiencing a drought, to find out how our portable water-less composting toilets worked.
What our customers say…
“Thanks for creating Little Green Dunny. It’s been transformative for us - hosting a multiday sporting event with plenty of guests camping in the paddock. Each year, everyone comments on how lovely the dunnies are. They fit our needs perfectly.”
Frances, Wairarapa. January 2024
"Big thanks to Matt and Rachael for bringing not only practicality but an object of joy into our campsite."

”Local company Little Green Dunny supplied the most attractive and unsmelly composting toilets we’ve ever seen.”

LGD created a brilliant solution for our tiny house community behind St Matthew's Church. The toilet part of it all was proving difficult as we wanted to be eco-friendly. A Little Green Dunny aligned perfectly and after a year of solutions that were hard work, we're now away!!
It's easy
It's brilliant
It's eco-friendly
The perfect solution!

“We were caught short in L4 lockdown with a blocked toilet and needed a dunny until our toilet could be fixed. It took 48 hours to fix our toilet and we were lucky as our plumber was able to attend to it straight away. Having a Little Green Dunny during this period was a life saver.
~ Tracey Higgins, Hire customer, Carterton, Sep 2021
“Thanks for the excellent dunnies and service! Our event - over three days and nights catered for up to 100 people and the LGDs were well visted! They coped well and the bin exchange system was easy. Guests liked the design and green-friendly contstuction and NO SMELL. The LGDs received lots of compliments - they were a pleasure to use.”
~ Jeremy Bicknell, Cricket-in-the-paddock co-ordinator, Jan 2022
“We got a Little Green Dunny while renovating and we’d recommend it to anyone! No smells, easy-to-use and the kids loved the fairy lights for those middle-of-the-night dashes to the loo!
100% eco-friendly awesomeness!”
~ Anna Crossling, Rental customer, Featherston, July 2021
“When building a house on a lifestyle block, finding a suitable loo for tradies and ourselves was a real hassle. When I stumbled across the eco-friendly Little Green Dunny I was instantly sold. No plastic, no chemicals - delivered and serviced. Such a charming and beautifully presented and thought-out solution. Thanks Rachael and Matt for your amazing service and product. Love it!”
~ Shane Wratt, Rental customer, May 2021
