Portable Toilets at Fireworks Festivals
The arrangements for portable toilets at fireworks festivals vary across different cities, as detailed below:
In Nanchang, the arrangements for portable toilets during fireworks events are relatively similar. For both the National Day fireworks show in 2025 and the "Gan River Celebrates, Horse Leaps into the New Spring" Spring Festival fireworks show on the first day of the lunar new year in 2026, three mobile toilet trucks were deployed simultaneously, each equipped with 10 squatting positions, totaling 30 squatting positions across the three trucks. Additionally, the relevant urban districts prepared 600 standalone portable toilets. These portable toilets have limited capacity and primarily serve as supplementary facilities in emergency situations. Moreover, the portable toilets will be activated with a delay based on real-time pedestrian traffic. The organizers recommend that visitors prioritize using nearby fixed toilets to ensure convenience and efficiency in restroom access.
During the 2024 Spring Festival grand fireworks show in Shantou, the arrangements for portable toilets were more meticulous. Staff organized the locations of 360 standalone portable toilets along both sides of the inner bay. These portable toilets were primarily placed in six areas. The main viewing area was the focal point of the layout, with 15 locations set up, housing 200 portable toilets to meet the restroom needs of a large number of visitors. The Nanbin Road section had 10 locations with a total of 100 toilets; the Haibin Road section had 3 locations with a total of 30 toilets. Furthermore, the Huaqiao Park viewing area had 1 location with 10 toilets; the Mayu Island viewing area had 2 locations with a total of 16 toilets; and the Century Building rooftop had 1 location with 4 toilets. In addition to the rational layout of portable toilets, each toilet location was equipped with large trash cans, white buckets, water ladles, and other facilities, provided free toilet paper, and arranged for dedicated personnel to conduct inspections and management, ensuring the cleanliness and orderly use of the toilets and providing a good restroom environment for visitors.
