First frost this week and the step into our jobsite porta potty is like an ice rink. What do you put down on it?

Put coarse sand or non-clumping cat litter on the step and floor of a standard unit to prevent ice buildup. Do not use rock salt, as it can degrade the plastic and contaminate the holding tank. Sand provides traction without damage and is easy to sweep out during service. Do not drill or screw anything into the unit, as modifications violate rental agreements and compromise structural integrity. The rental company is responsible for servicing the interior and maintaining the unit, but ice management on the step is typically the site's responsibility for daily safety. For persistent issues, request the operator add a brine solution to the tank during winterization to lower the freezing point of the waste, which reduces moisture and ice formation. On packed gravel, ensure the unit remains level to prevent pooling water around the step.
