18th-century London nightman's calling card

倒夜香英语:Cleaning Toliet)是倒粪的委婉语,是古老行业,服务业,体力劳动工种,厌恶性工作,运输业。倒夜香现在已经由水厕、化粪车、公厕等取代。

倒夜香出现于旧式唐楼社会,无论在乡村,或者城市住宅地方,有人的地方就有人要大便,无拉水马桶厕所就用痰盂,之后倒进屎塔,上盖密封,等待晚上有屎车来收夜香,清洁工人多数是女工,称为夜香妇,他们用毛巾包鼻,逐家逐户拍门叫「倒夜香」,住户将屎塔(又称为夜香筒)放出户外、楼梯口转角等,夜香妇用担挑搬落街,倒上倒屎车,运走。

在西方社会,未有水厕的社区,都有倒夜香类似的服务,这种虽然是厌恶性职业,但是工人人工不太高。倒夜香有些是地方政府市政局负责,有些是合约私营外判承包。

Night soil is a euphemism for human feces collected at night from cesspools, privies, etc. and sometimes used as a fertilizer. Another definition is "untreated excreta transported without water (e.g. via containers or buckets)". Night soil is produced as a result of a sanitation system in areas without community infrastructure such as a sewage treatment facility, or individual septic disposal. In this system of waste management, the human feces are collected in solid form.
