A honey bucket is a bucket that is used as a toilet in communities that lack a water-borne sewage system. The honey bucket sits under a wooden frame affixed with a toilet seat lid and may be lined with a plastic bag. These are often the same type of plastic five–gallon (19 litre) buckets used for shipping many paints, cleaners, and solvents, as well as institutional quantities of food products. Honeywagon is the traditional general term for a cart, wagon or truck for collecting and carrying excrement or manure.
