WASTE CONTAINER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME
Aspects of the present disclosure provide waste containers for waste management on a vehicle, such as a watercraft. A waste container for use on a vehicle may include at least one wall comprising an inner surface defining a chamber for holding waste, and a plurality of projections projecting from the inner surface of the at least one wall into the chamber. Aspects of the present disclosure also provide valve apparatuses for controlling flow of waste into or out of a waste container. Such a valve apparatus may include a non-dismantlable valve body defining a flow channel for conveying waste, and at least one check valve secured within the flow channel and configured to allow waste to flow from an inlet to an outlet of the flow channel and to prevent waste from flowing from the outlet to the inlet.
