Chemical toilets, often called 'portable toilets', are a staple for many a festival or worksite, you will likely have seen them in passing and not thought much about it. However these toilets are an incredible resource for many businesses and individuals, allowing sites that wouldn't normal have welfare access to operate at full capacity.
But how do chemical toilets work, and what is the process to getting one delivered?
How Chemical Toilets Work
The idea behind chemical toilets are to allow access to facilities regardless of location. A large portion of our customer base work miles from any real civilization (the blessing and the curse of being based in Scotland), this means that often times we are delivering to sites up in hills and in the middle of the woods where even access is something that needs considered.
Portable toilets help to aid in this issue, with the average unit providing a self-contained solution that doesn’t rely on external plumbing or sewage systems. Each unit has a waste tank filled with a mix of water & chemicals to break down waste, reduce odors, and keep the interior as hygienic as possible between cleanings.
Inside, you’ll typically find everything you need for a comfortable experience. Many models come equipped with hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and even small mirrors. Some higher-end units include running water, lighting, and flushing mechanisms to make the experience closer to what you’d find in a standard bathroom. For work crews, events, or festivals, these added conveniences make a world of difference—allowing for better hygiene and comfort, even in the most remote settings.
