The WAG bags® and their packaging are made with a proprietary blend of polymers and a starch derivative. There are two bags – one waste collection bag pre-loaded with Poo Powder® gelling and deodorizing agent (used to encapsulate liquid and solid waste), and a sturdy zip lock disposal bag to secure and transport waste. Toilet paper and a lemon-based wipe are also included.These bags are safe to dispose in normal trash. Just use it, seal it, and toss it!One WAG bag® is included per GO anywhere portable toilet®, fifteen WAG bags® are included in the GO anywhere complete system®.
There is enough gelling powder to gel 32 ounces (946.35 ml) or 3 –4 uses. This is a personal choice/decision; the gel keeps on working until fully saturated, and must be activated by a liquid to properly encapsulate the solid waste. The toilet’s lid can be placed on the toilet over used bags to keep out insects. Extra toilet paper and hand wipes may be needed. You may also want to consider purchasing a canister of Poo Powder® waste treatment and sprinkling a little on top of the waste between uses.
A starch derivative is added to our bags so they break down quickly under land fill conditions. In addition, all of our products are non-toxic and non-hazardous to reduce the impact on our environment.
Poo Powder® is a proprietary blend of a NASA-developed super-absorbent designed to gel and encapsulate liquid and solid waste, and a natural deodorizing agent and decay catalyst. Poo Powder® is non-toxic and odorless; however, if it comes in contact with eyes, flush with water immediately. If ingested, administer large amounts of water. Do not flush in a working toilet.
Our bags are guaranteed for 3 years. If kept in a clean, dry, moisture free environment they will last much longer. Many customers tell us that their bags last up to 10 years when stored properly.

The absorbent when wet is slippery, take care as to not slip when cleaning it up. Since the waste is solidified sweep it up and throw in the trash, then proceed to sanitize the area just as you would if Urine or Feces were to be spilled, with bleach or Clorox.
If it is dry just sweep it up and dispose in the trash, do not put it down your drains, as an absorbent it will expand when wet and could clog your drains.
