I was wondering,when people go to the toilets in a plane what happen to the excrement when you flush?

Top Ten Things That Happen to Airplane Sewage
1. It flushes straight out and, owing to the high altitude, freezes on it s downward journey until, rock hard, it crashes into cars homes and pedestrians killing thousands of Americans annually.
2. It is compressed into pucks used in a popular bar room game called air hockey.
3. It is selectively dumped over specific areas of the nation to form landfills, accounting for the creation of Detroit, Compton, Reno, and the entire state of New Jersey.
4. It has been implicated in a number of major conspiracies in U.S. history, including the creation of the grassy knoll in Dallas from which the second gunman fired on President Kennedy and the fill used to bury Jimmy Hoffa.
5. It is freeze dried in forms that contain every political speech delivered by a Presidential candidate since the Wright brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk.
6. It is freeze dried in forms that comprise every Presidential candidate since the Wright brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk.
7. It is poured into a vast lake in Hollywood around which all of the television network script-writers gather to find inspiration.
8 .It is flushed out in the high atmosphere as part of a secret government program to replenish the ozone layer.
9. It is sold to Israel as as part of a secret arms deal. The Israelis, double the price to recoup their investment when they sell it to the Chinese. The Chinese sell it to Syria and Iran who use it in warheads on the missiles they provide to Hezbollah to fire at Israel, and that is why Israel presently finds itself in a world of s**t.
10. It is recycled as airplane food, with any surplus being diverted to hospitals and school cafeterias.
They are emptied out later when the plane lands
Goes into a holding tank and then when the plane lands there is a waste truck that empties the tank.
what happens is it goes into a kind of store in the plane and then when the plane has landed, it removes the waste with a pump on the ground
It's stored in a 'safe place' on board and when the plane lands it is disposed of accordingly.
i think they used to dump it while in flight, but since that is unsanitary - they just store it in tanks and empty it when they land.
By an international treaty signed in 1952, airlines empty waste over Iran.
Goes into a tank then disposed of .
I'm guessing that it gets loaded into a tank that is installed on the plane and when the plane lands a tanker comes to the airport and takes it all away.
it goes to a storage tank that is located on the plane. When planes land, the crew empties the tank.
It's held in a storage tank and pumped out later. Every once in a while you do hear of a plane that discharges the waste while in flight. It's called "blue Ice" because the blue water in the toilet freezes if it's released at a high altitude and there have been several stories of house getting damaged when the ice hits a roof.
the waste goes into a holding tank untill it is emptyed at the airport is the same as a rv or camper they have holding tanks
there's a huge tank at the lower back portion of the plane which is brought under pressure by a high voltage presure pumps so tat the toilet never gets blocked.this whole lot is collected during the time of sky ride and is ejaculated when the plane lands.
On the CRJ-200 the waste from the toilet is stored in a tank and is off loaded after landing much like an RV, waste water (grey water) from the bathroom and galley sinks is vented directly overboard through heated vents (to prevent the water from freezing) the water hits the airstream and is instantly turned into a fine mist as we are going around 400 MPH
it goes into the chocolate cake.
The waste is churned up in a tank of blue antiseptic fluid. Then when you flush this liquid is used to flush away the new waste.On the ground a special truck connects to the aircraft and removes the waste fluid and replenishes it with clean fluid!!
Its dumped on the french because they smell already.
Looks like other guys did a good job answering it. Just to tell you.. if you visit Indian subcontinental railway.. then u will see that the dumpings goes directly onto the railway track. ;-)
It is emptied by the engineering groundcrew, throught the (aptly nicknamed) poo pipe into the Boggy truck, driven by the plop jockey, who gets paid a few pence a day extra to do it. (these are RAF nicknames, but this is how all airlines/aviation businesses do it.)
