When a restroom goes offline during a project or is not available at a temporary location, the question is simple but high stakes: build a new facility or bring in a temporary restroom replacement.

America has a bathroom problem.

According to one recent analysis, the United States ranks 30th in the world in public toilets per capita — tied with Botswana. For a nation that leads the world in so many other forms of infrastructure, it’s a surprising (and humbling) statistic. And while cities across the country have wrestled with how to add more public facilities, the answer isn’t as simple as just “building more.”

For many Americans, especially teens, summer jobs are a rite of passage, and many of these summer jobsites do not have all the amenities of your typical 9-to-5 office job.

Summer jobsites are temporary work locations that operate during the warmer months, often in construction, agriculture, or event-related industries. These sites may include outdoor festivals, seasonal construction projects, or agricultural operations that require a significant workforce.

As the 2024 hurricane season approaches, experts predict an extremely active period with a high probability of hurricanes making landfall in Texas and Louisiana.

“Buckle up and hunker down: An "extremely active" hurricane season is likely, top forecasters from Colorado State University (CSU) announced Thursday,” reported USA Today. “In fact, the forecast includes the highest number of hurricanes ever predicted in an April forecast by Colorado State since the team began releasing predictions in 1995.”

Imagine a construction site where workers can readily access clean and sanitary restrooms without disrupting their workflow or inconveniencing clients.

What is the role of portable restrooms during emergencies such as hurricanes?

When a natural disaster hits a community, you don’t want to compound the problem by allowing a bathroom emergency to occur. 

Unfortunately, when a major event like a hurricane happens, people are forced to evacuate from their homes, and the bathrooms they usually depend on are no longer available. They may have nowhere to go, with no friends, relatives, or neighbors available to let them have some shelter and a safe place to use the restroom. But when you have to go, there is no option to just hold it in.

When you gotta' go, you gotta' go. And in some school buildings, it's not necessarily easy to go.

There are numerous situations where schools may require extra temporary bathrooms from time to time - and it's crucial to have a solution ready to deploy when necessary. In this post, we'll discuss why mobile restroom trailers make for that ideal solution.

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus that’s responsible for COVID-19 infections is causing all kinds of changes in our daily routines, to be sure. People have to maintain social distancing as much as possible. At the same time, it’s more important than ever to provide a place where individuals can wash their hands.

In many cases, they need access to more portable bathroom facilities to accommodate business needs as well as requirements to shelter in place, during quarantine.

In the day and age of extreme concern about the spread of contagious viruses, there’s never been a stronger need for proper sanitation. However, the average portable restroom isn’t equipped to meet those needs. Many feature a ‘receiving’ hole and you’re lucky if there’s a square to spare in the toilet paper holder.
