On a mining site, particularly those located in remote or undeveloped regions often referred to as “bush” areas, the term “latrine” refers to basic sanitation facilities designed to handle human waste.

They typically consist of simple pit toilets or composting toilets that safely contain and decompose waste, ensuring a cleaner environment despite challenging conditions.
