City folks use sewer lines which carry their waste from their toilets to a large filtration system.
Country folks use septic systems. It's basically a little mini filtration system that carries waste from the toilet to a tank.
Stuff percolates in the tank and the water oozes on out down lines, where it seeps into the ground and the soil somehow or another takes care of filtration.
Septic tanks need to be pumped out about every 3 to 5 years. The more people, the more pumping.
There are many different types of septic systems. There are conventional systems, pump systems, systems that require French drains, sand mound systems, and many others.
Anyway, here are some pictures of some things that go into septic systems:

| Part of the distribution systems that makes sure stuff gets where it needs to go. |
 |
| This system required pumping, so this is part of the pump housing/chamber. |
 |
| Electrical stuff for the pump. |
