To answer the question on how the provision of a household CBS option changes household sanitation behaviours and the share of the excreta produced in the community that is safely managed to meet public health objectives
Container-based sanitation (CBS) – in which wastes are captured in sealable containers that are then transported to treatment facilities – is an alternative sanitation option in urban areas where on-site sanitation and sewerage are infeasible. This paper presents the results of a pilot household CBS service in Cap Haitien, Haiti. We quantify the excreta generated weekly in a dense urban slum, the proportion safely removed via container-based public and household toilets, and the costs associated with these systems.

Data collected through household interviews in Shada (an informal community near the center of Cap Hatien, Haiti) prior to beginning the trial (135 service trial participants and 151 randomly-selected households not involved with the service) and three months after the service trial began (127 enrolled households and 115 non-participating households). Additionally, a container and weight tracking system was developed for the CBS service and observations were conducted at SOIL's three public toilets in Shada.
