There's a huge problem with the waste that's made of multiple materials. "The Pringle Can" problem. Metal, card, plastic, lining foil and glue, all in one container, that full costs around a pound. Only the outer lid is easily recycled.
Toilet stops are always going to be contentious. Janne's right in that eventually they provide plants with nutrients, but it's the getting it broken down first that's an issue.
Here we don't use 'nightsoil' as fertiliser on food crops. That's not the case in other countries where the practice is commonplace.
I think the most we do with ours is use some of it for tree plantations.
I commented elsewhere that the route between this village and the next town is inconveniently devoid of conveniences, or suitable privacy, when one is in urgent need. I suspect that situation is all too familiar to others.
