Denver man injured in port-a-potty prank
No one in the industry likes having their units tipped over. And obviously as this story shows, it’s dangerous to the person inside the unit as well. Come on people. Stop tipping over porta-potties!

Just curious about how the rest of you got into this business. For me, it was because of my dad. I used to work for him and then took over when he retired.
