“What’s new in your business?”
That’s a question business owners are often asked. And for owners of certain types of businesses, under the right conditions, a great answer will be “portable sanitation.”
Adding porta-potties to your service offerings is a smart way to expand your business and gain a completely new revenue stream. Generally, businesses that have experience with waste management and/or equipment rental are the best candidates to expand into the realm of portable toilet rentals. Here’s a more in-depth analysis of prime porta-potty “expander” companies:
You’re a good candidate if:
If portable sanitation businesses are delivering poor or inconsistent service, your septic company can fill the gap. You already have experience in handling and disposing of liquid waste, along with knowledge of the environmental regulations associated with the business.
You’re a good candidate if:
Boost your brand! Your familiarity with outdoor work, regulations, and creating routes are advantages. Many of your current customers are likely renting portable restrooms already!

You’re a good candidate if:
Your familiarity with rental operations will give you a leg up. You should be able to easily adjust to the changes to the rental side of the business. You’ll just need an employee or employees to handle the service duties.
You’re a good candidate if:
Are you genuinely interested in portable sanitation? It’s a big commitment! You already know the rental business and have access to customers who are major sources of portable toilet rental, from public events to birthday parties.
Every time a customer asks you if you rent portable toilets or know a company that does, it’s a clue that portable sanitation may be in your business future. Customers appreciate a vendor who can offer a one-stop shopping experience for their service needs.
If you are interested in adding portable toilet rentals to your business, the best first step is to contact your current customers and ask if they would rent toilets in a bundle from you.
