Unit Types & Features
Portable toilets come in a handful of types: the standard unit with a non-flushing holding tank, deluxe or flushing units with a fresh water tank and foot pump, ADA-compliant wheelchair-accessible units, crane-liftable high-rise units, and add-ons such as urinals, sinks and hand sanitizer dispensers. This category explains what each type includes, what it costs more for, and which one fits a given crowd or site.
