Daily Management and Maintenance of Sanitation Public Toilets
Sanitation public toilets are guided and supervised by the municipal urban management bureau. Specialized personnel are arranged by district and county-level sanitation centers (or outsourced service companies) for 24-hour operation. Cleaning staff wear uniforms and provide cleaning services for no less than 16 hours per day. They are required to carry out daily cleaning, sanitation disinfection, facility maintenance and repair, and regular cleaning and painting according to regulations, and keep detailed records. If a toilet needs to be temporarily closed due to equipment failure, timely repairs must be made, and the duration of the closure must be publicly announced. In addition, Changsha City dynamically adjusts the layout of public toilets according to social development needs. For example, in 2024, 11 new sanitation public toilets were built, and 30 dilapidated public toilets were renovated. In 2025, a comprehensive improvement and quality enhancement of public toilets in the Wuyi Business District will be carried out to meet the needs of citizens and tourists.
