ABSTRACT A sanitary waste disposal system is used with a water supply and a sewer line. The system includes a toilet bowl having an inlet opening for receiving water from a water supply and a discharge opening for draining water from the toilet bowl. A wasteline is in fluid flow communication with the toilet bowl discharge opening and the sewer line. In one aspect of the invention, at least a portion of the wasteline is moveable between a raised trap-forming position and a lowered drain position. Inthe raised trap-forming position, an underside of said portion is higher than the discharge opening to maintain a desired level of water in the toilet bowl and block odors from the sewer line. In the lowered drain position, the underside of said portion is at least lower than said level of water in the toilet bowl to create a pressure differential which induces flow to the sewer line. To flush waste and water from the toilet bowl, the wasteline is moved from the raised to the lowered position. In another aspect of the invention, an outer frame is adapted to be positioned inside a recess in a wall, and a carrier frame is positioned within the outer frame and is vertically moveable and guided within said outer frame. The toilet bowl is connected to the carrier frame and moves therewith to a desired vertical position. A water supply is adapted to accommodate for changes in the height of the toilet bowl, and the wasteline is moveable to accommodate for changes in the height of the toilet bowl. In yet another aspect of the invention, a cabinet is positioned substantially above and behind the toilet bowl. The cabinet has side walls and aback wall which define an interior chamber, and wash means which extend into the cabinet chamber. The toilet bowl is rotatable from a substantially horizontal lowered position to a raised position in which at least a portion of the bowl isinside the interior chamber of the cabinet. In addition, a retractable cover conceals the interior chamber of the cabinet when the toilet bowl is in the lowered position, and the wasteline is moveable to accommodate for the rotation of the toilet bowl between the lowered and raised positions. In yet a further aspect of the invention, a pair of spaced apart, rotatable armrests are positioned above the toilet bowl when the bowl is in the lowered position and are pivotable about a horizontal axis. The armrests cooperate with the toilet bowl such that they rotate upward when the toilet bowl is raised.
