Abstract
An apparatus and method for a toilet which minimizes water usage and that can handle both urine and fecal matter. An ultrasonic vibration cleaner unit is disposed to clean at least one fecal plate which is rotated into a lower part of a toilet bowl containing water. Occasional and periodic flushing of solid fecal matter results in less water usage than utilizing water flushing for cleaning and carrying away of solid fecal matte each time of use.
