An early version of this was titled "Darl's Hole," but it was Kiki's Fraggle Hole, actually. It have modified it slowly over the last couple of years, working to retain all the original quality of the hole, but refining the location and features of the cave. This is the final version. In future I will be using it for all references in my Fraggle Rock stories. As a matter of fact, I have one under way at the moment, but it's only a modest narrative that describes some of Kiki's own background, including how she came by having such a nice hole of her own!

No, I haven't forgotten about it, but I thought taking a serious approach to sanitary issues was going a bit too far. They were certainly never discussed on the Henson program. My believe is that Fraggles used customary jakes downstream from the Fraggle Pool, and let the water float it away, down some inaccessible drain ... to wherever it went. Without dedicated plumbing, it was probably better than keeping wastes in night jars to be taking away in the moring. Just get up and to your business when you leave in the morning.
I was going to say, "no," but it occurred to me that if anyone wanted that job, it would be Marlon Fraggle who stepped up to it ... and stepped his foot in it.
From the official unofficial Wikipedia site:
"Marlon Fraggle is a minor recurring Fraggle on Fraggle Rock.
He debuted in the first season episode "The Finger of Light," where it is mentioned that he has been trying to start a cult for years, but nobody wants to join it. A nervously energetic sort with a voice and appearance modeled after Peter Lorre, Marlon is unusually ambitious for a Fraggle and sometimes slightly sinister. Following his failed bid to become Ruler of the Rock, Marlon toadies up to the winner, Mokey Fraggle.
He later graciously offers to rig the scoring on Red's feats in "Red's Sea Monster," and is the only one to believe her claim of a sea beast (again, hoping to use it to his advantage).
Similarly, he embraces the vistas offered by Wembley's ability to fly in "Wembley's Flight," asking that he unfurl a banner saying "Elect Marlon, King of the Fraggles."
Marlon has a cameo in the final episode of the series where he knocks over Uncle Traveling Matt.
He also earned a mention in the Fraggles Look for Jobs, where he's off acquiring a limo to pick up Gobo and Wembley."

Now, I don't know if such was actually ever touched upon, but let's face it: when you're speaking of characters from what amounts to a somewhat more sophisticated puppet show, I don't think they worried, on the whole, about such things as effective waste management. Nor, for that matter, about bodily waste period.
Kittyelfie also has a point about the views prior to the early 20th Century, which included some fairly deep stigmas and honest health concerns, many of which were, for their day, quite well-founded.
