Your Toilet Could Make You Rich

Yes, your toilet could theoretically make you rich, but extracting that wealth might not be worth the effort.

If you ever wanted to make this a large scale project, Obama would tax it and the EPA would make it unprofitable.

Well. I must admit my first job after high school was at a waste treatment plant. Almost made a career out of it. I even achieved my waste water treatment operator license. In other words my job at the begging was shoveling s$&t. We had many farmers come and pick the sludge up for fertilizer. We even had workers that would pick the tomatoes that naturally grew from the sludge. But the best thing workers would find was diamond rings that went through and landed in the sludge or in the screens.

I'm at a loss as to how $8-13 a year (the amount this article says the average person produces annually) is going to make me rich. Because I'm not going to let 8-13 million people use MY toilet! ;-)

OMG! I'm still cracking up over your assessment of how the powers-that-be would view such a "green" enterprise. :thumbup:

So the sludge produced for a year is 57 pounds.
To produce a ton of sludge will take 35 years.
After those 35 years, you can profit $550. Doesn't seem like a good return to me.

I think you literally would need to start a shit mine, Bob. You might start with calling the state mine commissioner for a permit to dig under the sanitary collection pool or to suck it up into a pipe going to your processing plant. Sounds like a big capital investment for a shitty business. Also it appears that the mineral content of what the people using toilets in your area may be deficient in the minerals which are most valuable. For instance if those shitters do not have a lot of gold fillings but the denture count is high, down go your profits. etc. Save your money Bob, becasue the thoughts I have just offered do not even take into effect the fact that the state, feds and various other entities will tax the shit out of you. Bang ... you end up with nothing, maybe shit but that's about it. Save your money, put it into a nice little hot dog stand.

We always wondered about why someone would want to be in the septic tank cleaning business
Maybe something to look closer at 'eh.

Croce, I appreciate your consideration and concern. I'm putting my money into photographic equipment, as the need, not GAS, arises.
