Just about everybody has used a porta potty<\/a> at some point in their life. From stinky, out-dated toilets at youth soccer tournaments to high-end luxury restroom trailers<\/a> at weddings \u2013 there\u2019s no shortage of reasons why someone would need a temporary, portable restroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But who empties these toilets and where does the waste go? What does the process look like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does a Porta Potty Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All portable restrooms include a toilet, and many modern units also include a urinal for the men. However, in a typical porta potty, these are only gravity fed and don\u2019t actually have any plumbing or running water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portable toilets work by storing waste in a holding tank along with special chemicals and enzymes that work to break down the waste and combat any unpleasant odors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are Porta Potties Cleaned?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lucky for you, if you\u2019re simply renting a portable restroom, you won\u2019t have to worry about cleaning it. Your porta john provider should handle the routine maintenance and cleaning and will dispose of your waste in a timely manner without your involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Mike Row said best, \u201cit\u2019s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how exactly does the process work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, our sanitation team will connect a vacuum directly to the holding tank and suction the waste into a tanker truck. That waste is then delivered to a nearby municipal treatment plant where it is processed alongside traditional city sewage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high-pressure spray hose will then be used inside the restroom to clear out bugs, dirt, and any unmentionable contaminants that have accumulated inside the stall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sanitizing solution will then be sprayed over the entire porta potty from top to bottom to ensure there are no lingering bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being cleaned and sanitized, we\u2019ll either pick up your porta potty if you\u2019re done with it, or restock it with toilet paper, hand sanitizer, holding tank chemicals, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
