If you ever tempted to remonstrate with a drunken young man relieving himself by the side of the street late one night, be warned - he might just be doing his bit for the environment.
New 'wheelie bin urinals' are to be placed around a town which has been deluged by drinkers relieving themselves in the street.
The new breed of public toilets will allow men to urinate into a funnel that transfers the liquid into a compartment in the base where it is converted into bio-fertiliser.
Council bosses in Eastleigh, Hants, say the town has been blighted by people urinating in its streets, alleyways and shop doorways. He went on to suggest they are put in problem areas and emptied into a garden or park every two weeks to be used as compost. The scheme will only target male drinkers and there are no plans to create a woman's version of the toilet.

Welcome back to the 7th century.
I just finished reading the chapter in Tale of Two Cities where Sydney Carton professes his love to Miss Minette but in a way that he doesn’t ask for anything but that she hold in her heart the memory that his last confidence was to her and that he can never free himself from the debauched person he is. Made me cry. Alcoholism is a terrible disease.
This is an entrepreneurial opportunity to export some very attractive, well appointed Porta-Johns!!!
From the article it does appear that Public restrooms are either closed overnight - or- have been eliminated permanently.
Bearing in mind that a high percentage of Brits use public transportation or walk to & from the local pubs - they cannot tinkle in the car - or in the hedge on the way home.
Other than that - civilization has ended.
How long will it be before these are ordered by decree by King Obama to be on every street corner in the US. Thus creating more employment for the masses.
This is sexist
Mostly when the yobbos use one of these they just spray it all over their pants. LOL
Believe me, retreiver and clean up man (excuse me, clean up person) is one Green job I’ll never compete for.
I thought “Wheelie bin Urinal” might be the newest leader of al Qaeda.

Until the feminists screech *discrimination* and demand that they be provided for women as well.
And when the design and implementation of said portable female urinals is not feasible, they'll be forced to remove the ones for the men and they'll be back to urinating in the streets.
Leave it to the feminists to turn back progress in the name of equality.
Well if i ever need to find 50 gallons of urine on wheels i now know where to go.
