I know it's a funny question but I want to know where does the urinary and waste material from aircraft toilets go, assuming that the flights are of a lengthy period of time?

They have what are called "honey buckets" that are emptied when the plane lands. My brother use to have that job until an "accident" and he quit. Oct 14 07, 4:33 PM

Few ingenious engineers devised vacuum toilets, which don't have to rely on gravity and a water-filled toilet bowl to flush out waste. When you flush a vacuum toilet, waste and a small amount of blue sanitizing liquid are sucked into a septic holding tank. Because the vacuums are so powerful, the pipes can be fairly narrow and very little water is necessary to "get the job done." And since gravity is not involved, the sewer pipes can be run straight up to conserve space. http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/sandira/Website/Information%20Links/Blue%20Ice.htm Oct 14 07, 5:02 PM

The waste gets "flushed" into containers that get dumped after they land. Also, it is thought that sometimes some of it drops onto unsuspecting people on the ground, but that hasn't been proven. http://ask.yahoo.com/20031031.html Oct 14 07, 5:50 PM

It's common knowledge that the so-called "blue ice" or "brown goo" that accumulates within airplanes does drop onto unsuspecting targets from time to time. Recently, an unlucky resident of Santa Cruz, California, received a special blue ice delivery courtesy of an American Airlines plane right through the skylight of his boat. He took the airline to small claims court and won a modest sum. A Pittsburgh woman's home was also subject to such a delivery. Other folks describe mysterious biological material that appears splattered around their houses and property. The same site as above. Oct 14 07, 6:54 PM
