Bay Area Sanitation was featured in a short video with the owner talking about how he established and grew his business. It’s interesting to hear stories from others in the industry and learn how they operate.

I don’t know how often portable toilet companies make endorsement deals, but there’s a new one that is just perfect. Honey Bucket is endorsing MLB Home Run Derby champ Cal Raleigh, whose nickname is “Big Dumper.” Well done by Honey Bucket, and it’s awesome that Raleigh agreed to the deal.

I came across this interesting story and was wondering what everyone thought. What It’s Like to Pee in a Remote-Controlled, Futuristic Porta Potty

I just don’t see how the costs are going to be justified. Regular porta-potties are so much more affordable and easier to manage.

After a high-speed chase, three suspects tried to hide from the police in a porta-potty. It didn’t work and they were taken into custody.

I can’t say I’m surprised by this story. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/investigations/portland-public-toilets-portable-what-happened/283-ff025241-95ea-4126-ab70-d62652273998

What sucks is that the people who have vandalized the units are ruining the program for everyone. Why can’t people treat things with respect?

Saw an ad for Million Dollar Listing, and a PJN3 made an appearance.

You’d have some interesting stories to tell for sure, but I’m not sure it would be worth it. And I can’t imagine it’s very fun working in the middle of the desert.

Here’s an oldie but goodie. A flashback news story about portable toilets painted for a Boise city festival.

“Arta-Potties”

What is wrong with people? Man allegedly recorded people in portable bathrooms at Reno Rodeo At least they caught this creep. I hope whoever owns the toilets gets reimbursed for the damage.

It’s not often you see portable toilets or portable toilet workers featured in a story in a major newspaper. But here’s one. It really highlights the challenges a lot of people go through.

A $9-an-hour port-a-potty job helped her escape homelessness. Now she watches others struggle.

Here’s a story that’s very 2020. A portable toilet got blown off a cliff at Lava Beds National Monument in California and had to be retrieved. Surprisingly, no spillage occurred.

A portable toilet blew off a cliff in a California park. Hilarity – and a rescue mission – ensued.

Here’s a really weird story I came across. North Idaho ‘wedding crashers’ put porta-potty chemicals in hot tub, guests taken to hospital

Who would even think of this? And what’s the point? People are just terrible sometimes. I hope they catch everyone involved and give them the punishment they deserve.

Any fans of Hard Knocks? The Rams are on it this year and Sean McVay got mad at the players for dropping a deuce. I’m sure whoever has to clean them is ok with pooping being banned. One less thing to worry about lol

Stores install portable hand-washing sinks

It seems like this virus has gotten some new customers for portable sanitation businesses they wouldn’t normally have gotten before. How many of you have gotten requests for sinks or hand sanitizers from grocery stores or similar businesses? You have to wonder if the demand for portable sanitation…[Read more]

I can’t stand vandals and any damage they cause. But blowing up toilets with fireworks? That would really make me mad if they were my units. Hopefully the police catch them soon.

Felony charges possible in case of exploding porta-potties

Looks like Portland may be in need of some units. If this proposal passes, the city will spend money on providing toilets for the homeless instead of on cleanup. Makes sense to me and it will be a good business opportunity for someone.

San Marcos-based portable toilet executives face new federal charges
