A portable toilet, also known as a mobile toilet or a chemical toilet, is a type of toilet that can be easily moved from one location to another. It is designed for temporary use in areas where conventional plumbing is not available or feasible, such as outdoor events, construction sites, or disaster relief areas.

Portable toilets typically consist of a plastic or fiberglass enclosure, a waste tank, a flush or holding tank, and a seat with a lid. The waste tank contains chemicals that help break down and deodorize the waste, and the holding tank is used to store the waste until it can be disposed of properly.

Portable toilets can be rented or purchased from companies that specialize in providing portable sanitation solutions. They come in a variety of sizes and styles to accommodate different needs, from basic single-unit toilets to larger multi-unit facilities with sinks, mirrors, and hand sanitizer dispensers.

Proper maintenance and cleaning are essential to ensure that portable toilets remain hygienic and functional.
