1. A portable toilet system including a flexible waste receiving bowl supported within the toilet system and an agitator mechanism engaging a lower surface of the bowl to mix a reagent with waste in the bowl, the agitator mechanism comprising:
(a) an agitator rotor mounted relative to a waste receiving bowl of the system to enable rotation of the agitator rotor about a vertical rotor axis thereof;
(b) an agitator bar secured to and being rotatable by the agitator rotor; first and second agitator rollers each pivotally attached near diametrically opposed ends of the agitator bar to the agitation bar; the first and second rollers rotating about a central axis and engaging a lower and outer surface of the bowl, each agitator roller roller axis extending outwardly and upwardly from the agitator bar; the agitator rollers being spaced from one another so as to simultaneously contact and depress the bowl whereat the rollers engage the bowl so as to compress the contents of the bowl together; the bowl being constructed of elastic material with memory such that after depression of the bowl by the roller at a particular location during rotation, the bowl returns to a shape the bowl has prior to depression by the rollers; the rollers cooperating to swirl the contents of the bowl;
(c) an agitator motor engaged with the agitator rotor in such a manner as to cause rotation of the agitator rotor about the rotor axis when activated.
