Over the decades, portable-toilet evolution has brought about amazing innovations in the personal sanitation industry. Enhanced interior amenities that offer the comforts of home are common, now, and much-improved methods of managing odors and waste are utilized. As far as odors are concerned, scientifically-advanced, non-formaldehyde-based deodorizers are used which contain 'biocides' that don't just mask smells, they keep the odor-causing bacteria from exponentially multiplying.
Many people are under the false impression that portable restrooms aren't, exactly, earth-friendly, but just the opposite is true. In fact, portable restrooms do their part to, actually, help the environment and are more environmentally kind than traditional, indoor restroom facilities.
Let's take a peek at a few portable-restroom insights you may find surprising:
Portable Restrooms Conserve Water
It's true ? portable restrooms use far less water than a typical, indoor toilet. A port-a-potty, for example, utilizes 90% less water than its conventional counterpart. In fact, the Portable Sanitation Association International shares a fascinating statistic: more than 45 billion gallons of water are saved, annually, simply through port-a-potty usage. That amounts to conserving 125 million gallons of water every, single day! By using portable restrooms, you are helping to conserve the earth's limited fresh-water supply!
Portable Restrooms Use Non-Toxic Sanitizers
Many 'go-green' port-a-potties are cleaned and sanitized with products that do not contain formaldehyde ? a known carcinogen. Additionally, many cleaning products do not contain alcohol and are non-toxic ? that can include non-toxic tank deodorizers and air-fresheners, as well. From the manufacturing of eco-friendly products to the actual usage of them, 'go-green' products are a much kinder alternative for everyone and everything!
Portable Restrooms are Part of Waste Management Regulations
When it is time to dispose of the waste from a portable toilet, companies in the personal-sanitation industry are highly-trained on correct disposal measures. They adhere to strict OSHA and Bureau of Land Management guidelines which ensure the health of the water, soil, air, plants, and wildlife & human populations.
The waste is carefully pumped into a holding truck and safely transported to a local waste-water facility. The water is chemically and biologically broken down and disposed of, according to federal and state-mandated procedures and regulations.
Portable Restrooms Combat the Spread of Germs
Festivals, carnivals, music concerts, and other large-scale gatherings would be cesspools of filth if portable restrooms were not available to the masses. Aside from concerns related to land contamination, water run-off into drains and streams, and waste-borne parasites that one would expect with waste on the ground, flies would find exposed human waste matter very appealing. These vermin would, quickly, do their part to spread disease to animals and humans.
For this reason, portable restrooms are kept in close proximity to masses of people concentrated in a given area. Portable restrooms' sealed holding-tanks keep waste where it belongs until it must be disposed of, in a sanitary manner.
Portable restrooms, also, keep the germ level minimized thanks to on-board hand-sanitizers. Some designs of portables restrooms have sinks with running water to effectively rid hands of illness-causing germs.
After it's all said and done, it can't be argued that portable restrooms don't just help the environment, per se, they help everyone living within any community ? and that includes you and me ? to live safer, healthier lives!
