Tips for emptying portable toilets

Waste from portable toilets contains bacteria and chemicals that can have harmful effects on health and the environment.

  • Only dispose of lavatory waste at designated disposal stations.
  • Never use a freshwater hose to rinse drains or portable toilets.
  • Use gloves or hand sanitizers to prevent bacterial infections.
  • Portable toilets are solely for pee, poo and paper. Only use toilet paper that is suitable for portable toilets.
  • Use ecological and biodegradable cleaning products. Avoid using chlorine or cleaning products that have formaldehyde or phosphate.
  • If possible, empty kitchen and shower water in other designated disposable stations than for lavatory waste.
