Whether it's a major construction project, wedding, corporate training, or outdoor convention, if there's a big event, you need to take care of the basic amenities, like restrooms. Portable toilet rentals are a fantastic solution in these situations as they supply everything needed at a scale that works for the individual project. Generally, they don't require much maintenance beyond cleaning, but during the winter, the colder conditions require a bit of care, even in more mild climates. If you're wondering what must be done when the seasons change, here's what you need to know. 

How to Maintain Your Portable Toilets in Winter

1. Use Anti-Freeze

In the winter, the primary concern for portable toilet care is having the tank freeze, even in slightly warmer climates. When it freezes, the contents will expand, and the tank could burst. Not only will that becomes messy, but it could also ruin the site or property. Of course, you'll also likely incur a charge with the rental company. To prevent this, make sure you're using the appropriate anti-freeze solution. When mixed and used correctly according to the directions, it will keep the tank contents from solidifying.

2. Place Them in a Secured, Sunny Spot

To help prevent anything from freezing up, try to place the portable toilets in a sunny location. Even though it may be chilly, having the sun's natural heat will make a significant difference. If the weather report in your region predicts strong winds, secure them too. You don't want them to tip over. Positioning them next to the wall of a building, the fence, or even a little hill is ideal.

3. Clean Them Daily

Taking time daily to clean the portable toilets will ensure they're ready to go the following day. Your workers or guests will be grateful. Furthermore, tending to them a little bit every day for the duration of the event or project will be less work than putting it off for a later date.
