They use special toilets for hard waste and a urinal cup with a tube for urine (attachments for both men and women). Each system has a vacuum on it to keep stuff from inadvertently floating around the spacecraft.

What is the Similarities between body's excretory system and community waste disposal?
As of the community, it is also the same with the excretory system. In the community's waste disposal programs, they eliminate wastes in the community. And in the excretory system, it also removes waste from our body.
How do astronauts brush their teeth in space?
Space shuttles and space stations have small waterless shower stalls. There are Velcro straps inside of the shower stall to hold the astronaut inside of the shower. Astronauts wear Velcro-bottomed slippers to attach their feet to a Velcro strip on the bottom of the stall. The astronauts wash their hair and skin using disposable wipes that are specially designed for the space flight. The soap from the wipes does not need to be rinsed off the skin or hair. The wipes are disposed of in a special trash receptacle in the space shuttle or space station. The trash receptacle uses air to pull the waste into an airtight canister. Some space stations do use small amounts of water in the shower stalls. A small amount of water is released through a hose that is controlled by the astronaut, while air from another hose sucks in the water and brings it to an airtight canister where it will be purified and recycled. information from eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_5369331_do-carry-out-personal-hygiene.html#ixzz1FwJ37Q2V
How can astronauts take showers and go to the toilet?
Yes, but both are special devices designed for use in microgravity. They use a blender like mechanism to handle solid waste in the toilet and both use wet vacuum cleaner type mechanisms to contain and remove the liquids.

How is trash waste disposed in space?
Liquid waste (urine) was collected in a Urine Collection Device, used in common by the crew of an Apollo spacecraft. Roll-on cuffs provided personal sanitary protection for the astronauts using the collection device. The urine was then transferred through the Urine Transfer Tube to a tank, from which the liquid waste was vented into space. Fecal matter was sealed in a Fecal Bag with a liquid germicide and sealed again in an outer bag. This solid waste was then placed into a Sanitation Box built into the spacecraft.
How will the process of transpiration benefit astronauts on long space trips?
Transpiration is a natural process of an astronaut. In toilets, the waste is collected in bags. This waste content is reused for life essential systems on the ISS.

How do you get water into space?
In order to have water available for astronauts' use while they are on space missions, the following technology is employed: -- Earth water is injected into bottles, plastic bags, tanks, packaged food, and the astronauts' bodies. -- These items are then stowed aboard the spacecraft, and launched together with the astronauts. -- During the mission, some of the waste water discarded from the astronauts' bodies and from other processes is collected and recycled in the spacecraft.
