Guangdong Expressway Portable Toilets

Guangdong Expressway has taken measures such as adding temporary portable toilets and adopting the 'tide-based toilet stall' plan in terms of portable toilets. In 2026, the rental market for portable toilets in Guangzhou expressway service areas will also see new development trends.

Adding Temporary Portable Toilets

During the 'Double Festivals' holiday, to address the issue of difficult toilet access, Guangdong Tongyi Expressway Service Area Co., Ltd. added a total of 600 fully enclosed temporary portable toilets in the main trunk service areas and parking areas with fewer toilet stalls under its jurisdiction. Moreover, the service areas will adjust the male-to-female ratio of the portable toilets in a timely manner according to changes in passenger conditions to better meet the toilet needs of passengers of different genders at different times, improve the utilization efficiency of the toilets, and alleviate the toilet pressure during peak periods.

Adopting the 'Tide-based Toilet Stall' Plan

Guangzhou Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd. has adopted the 'tide-based toilet stall' plan in eight pairs of service areas, including Xin'an Service Area, under its jurisdiction. By installing movable door panels, it enables flexible conversion between male and female toilet stalls, adding about 300 'tide-based' toilet stalls. This innovative approach can dynamically adjust the number of toilet stalls according to the differences in the number of male and female passengers using the toilets at different times, improve the overall utilization efficiency of the toilets, and avoid situations where there are long queues at the toilet stalls of one gender while those of the other gender are idle.

Rental Market Situation of Portable Toilets in Guangzhou Expressway Service Areas in 2026

The rental price is mainly determined by the rental duration, quantity, and configuration. For short-term rentals (1 - 3 months), the average price is about 80 - 120 yuan per stall per month. For long-term rentals (more than half a year), the price can be reduced to 60 - 90 yuan per stall per month, and prices in some popular service areas may increase by 10% - 20%. The mainstream portable toilets in the market have been upgraded from basic models to models with compartments, flushing systems, and ventilation devices. For service areas with a large number of tourists in scenic spots, there are also customized models with baby care rooms. Rental companies generally provide free installation and maintenance services. Currently, there are many rental enterprises in Guangzhou with spot inventory. The inventory of large rental companies usually remains at 200 - 500 portable toilets, which can meet the usage needs of more than 2,000 people per day. It is recommended to make reservations 7 - 15 days in advance. In addition, in 2026, Guangzhou has raised higher requirements for the hygiene standards of portable toilets. All rental equipment needs to pass third-party hygiene inspections. Environmentally friendly water-saving equipment has become a new trend, and some enterprises have begun to promote solar-powered toilets.
