Utilization of the human liquid waste into productive use is one of the main motivations of this research. The utilization of urine fertilizer enables us to close the loop in nutrient cycle. This can be made possible by evaluating the source of human liquid waste in order to provide the raw material in making the organic fertilizer. With these, it is also encouraged to do a profound research on retaining/enhancing the nutrients found in the urine. The study was conducted to determine if sanitizing urine is possible in the Resourceful Urban Women (RUW) residential community. The study was undertaken through survey and informal interviews on the residents of RUW. The response of the respondents is juxtaposed to current practices and available technology in the market which is then used as a variable in the process of collecting urine. The relevant data (e.g. household size and no.) were used for computations of the area requirement for the household storage and facility (production and treatment) that could accommodate the population in the study area. The results in the study were very promising in such a way that the sanitation of urine could be possible in the area.
