Liquan Rural Mobile Toilet
Information about mobile toilets in rural areas of Liquan is as follows:
I. Sales Situation There are various sales channels for mobile toilets in the Liquan area, with significant price differences depending on brand, specifications, and functions. For example, Shanghai Changjiu Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. offers mobile toilets for rent or sale at 283 yuan per unit; Shaanxi Fangyuan Haoyu Metal Technology Co., Ltd. provides products at different price points, such as 1800 yuan per set and 999 yuan; Shaanxi Shiteng Metal Products Co., Ltd. sells mobile toilets at 1800 yuan per unit; and Shandong Hangpu Network Technology Co., Ltd. charges as high as 9991 yuan per unit for its mobile restrooms. The price differences mainly stem from variations in materials (such as metal and plastic), functions (such as waterless flushing and microbial treatment), and supporting services (such as installation and leasing).
II. Promotion of New Rural Household Toilets Liquan County is actively promoting the "toilet revolution" in rural areas, with a focus on promoting waterless and freeze-proof microbial toilets. On May 7, 2023, the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau distributed these types of toilets in Xizhangbao Town, Qiandong Town, and Fenghuo Town, and provided on-site training for installation and commissioning. These toilets achieve waterless flushing and freeze-proof functions through microbial decomposition technology, solving the toilet problems of rural elderly people left behind and those with mobility issues. They are also fly-free, maggot-free, and odor-free, and the feces can be used for farmland fertilization after fermentation, combining environmental protection with practicality, and have received widespread praise from the public.
III. Convenient Options for Earth Toilet Renovation In response to the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of traditional earth toilet renovation, mobile toilets have become a convenient alternative. Their advantages lie in quick installation, no need for complex infrastructure construction, and reliable quality, making them suitable for short-term use or temporary venues. For example, in the旱厕 (dry toilet) renovation in Chenjin Village, a model of "villagers providing sand and bricks + the government providing jar pool cement + skilled workers for installation" was adopted to upgrade the dry toilets to a double-jar sealed septic tank system for harmless treatment of feces. Such renovations complement mobile toilets and jointly promote improvements in rural sanitation conditions.
IV. Toilet Renovation Results and Coverage Rate As of the relevant time, Chenjin Village in Xinshi Community, Liquan County, has basically completed the renovation of dry toilets, with only a few households with no permanent residents not participating. By 2016, a total of 32,500 households in 12 towns and 195 villages across the county had completed toilet renovations, with a renovation rate of 61%. The renovated toilets, through sealed septic tank designs, block the breeding of flies and maggots and the spread of odors. The feces reach harmless standards after fermentation and decomposition, improving the rural living environment and providing high-quality organic fertilizer for agriculture, forming an ecological cycle.
