Description
The Uritrottoir Classic is a waterless urban urinal designed for communities that need to manage public urination in high-traffic urban areas—city centers, tourist zones, and the areas around bars and restaurants. It can be installed without excavation or connection to the water or sewer system, and is available as a standalone unit or with optional connection, allowing for rapid deployment in sensitive areas. Accessible 24/7, it reduces urinary nuisances, eliminates persistent odors, and decreases the workload of sanitation workers. The collected urine can be used as agricultural fertilizer within a circular economy framework.
A waterless urban urinal accessible 24/7
Wherever there is a large influx of people—city centers, urban events, tourist areas—the Uritrottoir Classic ensures continuous access. This reduces the disruption caused by bar closures and improves street cleanliness, especially during peak nighttime hours.

Principle of Operation
A uritrottoir is a dry urinal.
It is easily installed in soiled areas. Like any waterless toilet, it does not require connection to the sewerage network.
Maintained by the technical services or a delegated company, the uritrottoir collects and stores urine.
The uritrottoir can be connected.
It provides remote information on the fill level of the bins.
It optimizes the maintenance route.
Choice of models and colors
To facilitate its urban integration and respond to different street configurations, 6 models are available. Their color can be chosen according to the urban charter applied in your city on street furniture. The uritrottoir exists with and without planter. (KRUG XL model)
Urine valorization
Once collected, the urine can be used as fertilizer for horticulture and agriculture.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Uritrottoir Classic require a water or sewer connection?
No. It operates entirely without water and without connection to the sewer system. The tank is emptied periodically by the technical services, without any intervention on the underground networks. However, it is possible to connect it to the sewer system with an optional kit.
What is the tank capacity of the Uritrottoir Classic?
Different capacities are available depending on the model. For very high-traffic areas requiring a 220-litre capacity, the Uritrottoir Maxi is recommended.
How long does it take to install?
The Uritrottoir Classic can be installed without any excavation work. Deployment is therefore rapid, making it suitable for emergency interventions or seasonal reinforcements of the urban sanitation system.
What is the difference between the Uritrottoir Classic and the Uritrottoir Maxi?
The Uritrottoir Classic is suitable for areas with moderate to high traffic. The Uritrottoir Maxi, with its 220-liter capacity expandable to 440 liters in a coupled configuration, is designed for areas with very high permanent traffic such as esplanades, markets, or train station areas.
Can the color of the Uritrottoir Classic be customized?
Yes. Like the entire Uritrottoir Ekovore range, it is available in several colours and can be adapted to the requirements of the Architects of the Buildings of France for protected areas and historic centres.
What happens to the collected urine?
Urine is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It can be used as a liquid agricultural fertilizer in local nutrient recycling programs, in partnership with farmers or communities committed to the circular economy.
