It may seem like there’s not a lot to the portable sanitation industry. However, it’s much more complex than most outsiders and industry newcomers who haven’t done their homework probably think. While porta-potties, trucks and cleaning supplies are at the heart of portable sanitation, it takes a lot more than that to operate successfully.
The portable sanitation industry consists of an enormous network of businesses that provide diverse products and services that all play a key role in keeping our world clean. To illustrate how much is involved, we created an infographic showing the entities that make up the industry.
It’s a detailed list, but it’s not all-inclusive. We tried to list the primary entities but know there are even more. Keep that in mind as you are establishing and growing your portable restroom rental business.
