Ultimate Guide to Porta Potties
![](/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/disclosure24.png)
Porta potties are portable toilets designed for outside events. They have multiple uses, and some are even suitable for indoor use. This video shows you how a porta potty operates and how to prevent your waste from harming the environment.
Potter potties contain aluminum and polyethylene material covered by a translucent roof that deflects the sun. They also have tank vents to allow increased airflow.
When people visit the facility, urine is collected and redirected into a 60-gallon holding tank. The tank contains chemicals such as blue dye, biocide, and fragrance that break down the solid waste.
The flushing mechanism uses a hand or foot. A pump generates pressure which circulates the chemical contents of the tank through a pipe into the toilet bowl. Toilet bowls are regularly serviced to replenish toilet paper and water and to maintain hygiene. Unlike other toilets, portable toilets do not require a sewer system connection. Instead, they’re used for temporary waste storage until a professional cleaning crew disposes of them. Since these containers are self-contained, they need to be removed by dedicated people. A sanitation worker can service between 40 to 50 units daily and clean after every 100 uses.
