Here is a cheating multi use single use camera (by lomography) if that makes any sense ! I found this whilst looking for ways to reload a single use camera, it is by far the easiest. Would this make it illegal and there for punishable by death for this challenge ?
Reusable single use
I've gone for one of these as well.Look what's arrived !

It's fixed aperture and fixed shutter speed. It's a plastic lensed piece of crap, so it's ok in my book.
My Lomo Konstructor is just about that but it is a self build SLR that focuses

I think focusing rules it out.
These are only my opinions so if anyone thinks different, please shout up.
To me, disposable equates to single use*, so any camera that allows you to run more than a single roll of film through it doesn't count.
* I appreciate that some people "hack" disposable cameras so that they can be re-used.
Yeah, I guess that keeps it simple and unambiguous.
And it is the Disposable Camera Challenge after all.
So are we ruling out @BADGER.BRAD Lomography "Simple Use" camera?
non-autofocussing Canon T80
I should have known better too!30 years old and never been used?
I remember trying one, thinking to myself "it can't be that bad, surely" and it was.
I should have known better too!
Drat. Was hoping my ancient Fuji dl10 which is fixed focus and has one shutter speed would have been ok!

Although, maybe a challenge for the back half of the year could be to build a camera and submit photos from it.
I tried to build one once but trashed it.
As long as Steve isn't allowed to enter any Chroma shots!!!
When the films finished, what's the safest way to get the film out without getting zapped?
As far as accidental exposure is concerned, I think I'm right in saying that when you wind on you're actually winding back into the canister. Is that right?
EDIT - just had a look on youtube. It seems I'm right about the film and being zapped isn't a concern.
Hi Peter
Yes we can take disposable camera’s. If you can remove the 35mm cartridge it will save you money in postage.
Any other queries just let me know.

Can we use more than one camera as long as it's disposable ?
I'm ordering some film from Analogue Wonderland, so I'll add a JCH Kassha and join in the disposable fun too.
I'll need to plant a couple of trees for some carbon offsetting to assuage the (disposable) guilt.
My old Kodak one says they re-cycle them, that will be clever if I develop myself. Perhaps I can shred it, extrude it and 3D print something.
Last time I used one, I stripped it down to its component parts and stuck the recyclable parts in the green bin. The flashy bits went in the small electricals skip at the tip next time we went. (Original stripping was to make it a smaller package to post!)
For anyone getting this 39 shot Kodak Funsaver, be aware that it counts down the frame numbers and then there are an extra 3 shots after frame 1, which now seems obvious to me.For anyone who is a bit nervous about breaking into the camera to get the film out, here's a video showing how you don't have to open the Kodak Funsaver to get the film out. You only need to watch the first minute, as the rest is pretty much all warnings about the possible dangers if you try to open the camera up.
The rules seem pretty clear, except for whether it's a single camera challenge or if we're allowed photos from more than 1 camera? Not a big deal, but just wanted to clarify before I order another one.
