That's right....there's the management plans available online regarding the composting toilets being installed at KNP (i.e. Rawson's)...removal options were documented there...

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Kuu - composting toilets CAN work in cold places but are not necessarily the cheapest option with the respect to ongoing operations/maintenance etc...you do have to pay park entry fees at NPs, esp. at KNP, and waste removal is budgeted out of those funds...
