Why use portable sanitation?
Health Benefits • Portable sanitation provides sanitation facilities where sewer and water hookups are not conveniently available, enhancing the health and environmental factors associated with a project or event. Environmental Benefits • Portable sanitation conserves water by using only 6 gallons of clean water to contain the 30 gallons of waste generated by a 10-worker crew during one 40-hour workweek. The same personnel, using conventional water flush toilets, could waste up to 2,500 gallons of clean water needed to carry away the 30 gallons of waste they generate. Construction Benefits • Portable sanitation provides significant labor savings by minimizing lost labor time associated with leaving a job site to use toilets. The average time needed to make an offsite restroom usage is 7 minutes including travel time. In “Provision of Sanitation Facilities at Construction Sites,” a study done by the University of Missouri-St. Louis, contractors earned an 850% return on their investment
