When making arrangements for a new construction project, it can be so easy to overlook one of the most important facilities that will be required for workers.

But, besides the obvious, there are also some other benefits of having a portable site toilet on a construction site. We've listed our favourite top five benefits bel ..read more

Since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, health authorities have been begging us to pay attention to our hand hygiene — and for a good reason. Washing your hands frequently with soap and water is one of the cheapest forms of infection control, and also one of the most effective. Why?

This then makes them harmless to your body and reduces the risk of spreading germs to others (yay!). But research ha ..read more

If you’re in the market for a portable toilet but can’t decide between purchasing a brand-new portable toilet or a second-hand one, we’re here to help. While a second-hand portable toilet might seem attractive because of its price tag, they can often turn out to be more expensive in the long-run if repairs are needed and spare parts are not easily accessible. It is a common misconception that all portable toilet spare parts (regardless of where they are bought from) will fit any portable toilet. This is often not the case with most spare parts unique to the brand of the toilet. It is important ..read more
