The simple yet effective chamber pot worket quite well for hundreds on years.
Emptying was rather simple as well.

Maybe it's paranoia, but I don't want to be leaving the apartment multiple times in a day in that kind of scenario. There are a lot of people around, none of them will be prepared for trouble, and I don't want to be wandering around in that situation.
The more I think about, the more an apartment complex is a total nightmare in that situation.

I say bag it and leave the sealed bag sitting in a warm place for awhile so the methane can build up. If you're on the second floor and have a window you can always light the bags on fire and launch them out the window as a distress marker.

1) Get a bunch of hefty bags (large black ones)
2) put them in standard garbage can
3) crap into bag
4) throw it onto ground outside
I bet you $100 no one is going to break into a house that has bags full of sh~t all over the lawn

5 gal bucket with double liner with a toilet seat on top. Sprinkle wood ash, kitty litter, sphagnum peat moss or dry lye into bucket between each defication.
Save all washing water and urine in 5 gal bucket. Use to flush toilets after each defication.

instead of sitting on trash cans, 5 gallon pails, camp toilets, and what have you, wouldn't it be a tad bit simpler to just put a trash bag in the toilet you already have????

OK, being a long time backpacker/mountaineer, I can't resist.
All this talk of buckets, plastic bags and kitty liter is just too much.
Try this in your SHTF event and see who cares.
Even in an apartment complex, walk into your "yard" (PC landscaped border around said apt complex), best in the "bushes", with gun if you feel it necessary, mostly in the evening, but in the day light if necessary, dig a hole, take a ...., cover it up, go back inside, and wait for a telephone call or a visit from the defecation police.
What is it that US culture can't grasp about the fact that, for thousands of years, no, wait, hundreds of thousands of years, our species took a **** with no buckets, no plastic bags and no kitty liter?
They simply squated and did it.
What's the real issue here? PC during a SHTF?
Do you really think it's going to matter?
Wake up and smell the coffee.
And if you can't smell the coffee, then your hole wasn't deep enough.

Let's see ... you're in an apartment building, you have a fan running in the window, somebody on one of the floors above you dumps human waste out the window, and the fan sucks it in ... and .... SHTF

Tallpine, seriously, that was the funniest thing I've heard all day! My son just asked me what I was laughing at.
Tactical toilet?
Oh geez......
Now I'm gonna have to decide whether to get one in 9mm or .45acp.
Hmmm.... I could get a 9mm toilet if I've got a whole lot of little projectiles flying all at once. You know... high capacity, high velocity, small caliber situation.
Or... I might need a .45acp toilet if big and slow with a lot of knockdown power is what's happening.
What to do (so to speak)?
Decisions, decisions.

How about waterbed for all your non-potable water supply?
I don't know how many gallons it will hold but should be enough to gravity flush your toilet for a while.

That's a SHTF toilet, a tactical toilet would be a toilet with a picatinny rail on the side of the bowl so you could fasten a holster, and thus, keep a gun handly incase there's a high-speed home invasion while you're doing your business.
I'm a long-distance backpacker. I've got no problem crapping anywhere. I don't think it's feasible for the hundreds of people living here to all be crapping out in the postage stamp yard, though.
I don't want to sound insane, but I'd really rather not be seen at all if everything went to hell for weeks. I don't want anyone seeing me with a gun or anything else that makes me look responsible or prepared or equipped.
Is that too loony? It's not universal. Where I grew up, which isn't far off, I'd feel like my neighbors were an asset. We had an ice storm there once that knocked the power out for about a week and everyone banded together and helped out.
Where I'm at now is much more ghetto. Maybe I'd be pleasantly surprised, but my impression is that it would be much more ruthless, possibly with gangs cropping up. In that situation, I don't want anyone to be able to point to my door and say, "That guy's got food, water, and guns in there".

been there got TEE shirt
punk rock squatter in me old days, NYC in the early 1980's
we took over abandoned buildings (X buildings in the midnite cowboy book)
the pipes are almost always good, you just need water of some kind.
if yer expecting 3 or 4 weeks you can buy a water bed!

I would think the ideal set up for you would be do pee in the toilet and "flush" it.
Put a trash bag in a bucket, poop into said bag, sprinkle a little kittylitter/lye, etc. in the bag, seal it up and put the sealed bag in the other 5 gal bucket with lid that you saved just for this. If you reduce the trashbags as much as possible, you could stuff a lot of them in the bucket.
Or just toss it around your apartment door to repel others.

20mm ammo can. Nice watertight lid, large capacity, stable with a toilet seat on top, and inexpensive.
Also known as a "groover" on the river.
