I don't know if Tolkien ever expands on the subject of waste, but I would imagine it would be most like the Middle-ages waste system. At least in Castles, bathrooms consisted of just stone rooms, and a slab seat with a big hole that would drop down into the sewer system. And typically it would be someone's job to go shovel it all out once in a while before the methane and stench got too bad. (Learned this out from the handy show..."Worst jobs in History.")
