I happen to have taken some photos related to the subject of the night-soil carrier. Look below.
Opening like the one above (found at the backlane of a shophouse) provides the night-soil carrier with access to the buckets. With such opening, the night-soil man would not need to knock on the main-doors to gain access to the buckets.
A replica of a toilet cubicle that used the bucket-system. I took this photo at the Chinatown Heritage Centre, Singapore.

But a necessary fellow he was back in those days when the toilets are on the Bucket-system.
