Out houses?

Question

When we used out houses we had people called honey dippers to cean them out. What did they do with what they took out?

Answer 1

when

i was a kid we moved into an old farm house with no bathroom so we had a outhouse,but I don't remember any honeydippers, we just dumped lime in the hole and that would take care of it

Answer 2

In the good old days some burned it. Some moved the hole and moved the location of the outhouse. Now-a-days they use portopots. If I had a hole with excrament in it, I would dump lime in it, fill it up and plant a tree there!
