If you’ve recently used a Porta Potty, you know there have been considerable advancements to make using a portable toilet a pleasant and sanitary experience. However, those who aren’t familiar with these units may have heard some false ideas about them. To clear up any confusion, continue reading to learn about three common misconceptions about the Porta Potty.

3 Common Misconceptions About the Porta Potty

1. Portable Toilets Are Unsanitary

Porta Potties use a non-toxic chemical that breaks down solid waste and paper while releasing a fragrance to mask odor. So, as long as you have enough portable toilets for the number of people using them, sanitation will not be a problem. You can also install hand-washing stations to give users the ability to clean their hands after using the bathroom.

2. People With Physical Disabilities Can’t Use a Porta Potty

There is now a wide array of portable toilet models to choose from, including models that are ADA approved for wheelchair access. Visiting the restroom should not be a difficult experience, and with advancements in the design of portable toilets, they can accommodate anyone, including those with special needs.

3. Porta Potties Aren’t Environmentally Friendly

According to Portable Sanitation Association International, portable restrooms save around 125 million gallons of fresh water every day. Additionally, the blue liquid that is used in portable toilets is non-toxic when diluted and processed by wastewater treatment plants.
