If one were asked to share, in 20 words or less, what he or she might think about portable toilets, that person might say: They are tiny and uninviting. They should be avoided, if possible, and only scruffy events utilize them! To that, our team at Chem Can would provide a resounding, "On the contrary?! Since portable toilets remain a very misunderstood and under-appreciated 'species' of commodes, we thought we would offer a few facts about portable toilets ? aka: 'unsung heroes' ? to help alleviate any negative bias.

Fact #2: Portable Toilets are Used for Very Elegant Gatherings
No event is too big or too small for portable toilet rentals and no event is too humble or too sophisticated. More-basic portable toilets, which go by the name 'port-a-potties', are commonly seen at concerts, kids' sports fields, farmers' markets, and hot-air balloon festivals. But the convenience of portable toilets doesn't end there ? heck no! Very upscale gatherings include portable toilets of the more elegant kind, as mentioned, above. With restroom amenities that parallel those found in 5-Star hotels, Luxury Restroom Trailers strut their stuff with the intent to not only offer comfort, safety, and convenience, but they can boast of their beauty and demonstrate their capacity to pamper.

Whatever tier of sophistication an outdoor event might exude, Luxury Restroom Trailers fit right in and people enjoy using them!
Fact #3: Portable Toilets Help the Environment and the People In It
Portable toilets are overlooked by many people, but for those whose occupations make them acutely aware of the earth's natural resources and the health of the global population, portable toilets are viewed in a different light. Individuals involved in philanthropic and conservation organizations embrace portable toilets as indispensable, and the reason is simple: portable toilets help to conserve our most-valuable natural resource and keep many isolated areas of the world less prone to life-threatening diseases.
Under-developed communities across the globe are feeling the positive effects of having less human waste in water systems and crop areas due to portable toilets being available. As a result, serious illnesses associated with intestinal worms, pneumonia, and cholera have been reduced. Additionally, infant-mortality rates have decreased.
And when it comes to conserving our most-valued natural resource ? freshwater ? portable toilets deserve a great deal of credit. Since portable toilets utilize up to 90% less water than conventional toilets, 45 billion gallons of freshwater are saved each year ? this, according to the Portable Sanitation Association International.
Here are a few more interesting facts from the UN, WaterAid, and the World Toilet Organization:
*** In some under-developed countries, mobile phones hold more value than access to a portable toilet.
*** Portable toilets that predated the last 200 years, were simple pots or handled bowls and were in use more than 10,000 years ago. Some beautifully-embellished potty pots ? circa 6,000 BC ? were buried with Egyptian royalty to be used in the afterlife.
*** Portable toilets have more than one life! The plastic and metal components of portable toilets are perfect candidates for being reused, re-purposed, or recycled. Additionally, most bathroom tissue made for the portable-toilet industry is sourced from recycled paper products.
