What Project Category Does Mobile Toilet Belong To
Mobile toilets mainly fall into three project categories: temporary facility fees within civilized construction costs, public infrastructure, and urban public service facilities.
Firstly, in the field of construction, mobile toilets belong to the temporary facility fees within civilized construction costs. According to documents such as the Composition of Construction and Installation Engineering Costs, the safety and civilized construction costs cover four parts: environmental protection, civilized construction, safe construction, and temporary facilities. As a necessary temporary sanitation facility at construction sites, the relevant costs of mobile toilets are clearly classified under temporary facility fees. The Construction Project Bill of Quantities Pricing Standard (GB/T50500-2024) released in 2024 further decomposes the original 'safety and civilized construction costs' into four independent items, among which the costs of mobile toilets are clearly classified under the 'temporary facility fees' item.
Secondly, from the perspective of public services, mobile toilets belong to public infrastructure. According to Article 52 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting Rural Revitalization, public infrastructure includes facilities such as urban and rural roads, waste and sewage treatment, water supply, power supply, and gas supply. Its characteristic is to provide basic services to the public and meet production and living needs. As a movable sanitation facility, the essential function of mobile public toilets is to provide convenient sanitation services to the public and meet people's toilet needs in public places, which conforms to the definition of public infrastructure and is an indispensable part of urban and rural infrastructure.
Finally, in the field of urban management, mobile toilets belong to urban public service facilities. Mobile public toilets are an important form of urban public service facilities. Their role is to facilitate citizens' travel, improve citizens' quality of life, and also contribute to the improvement of urban environmental sanitation. Their business scope mainly includes aspects such as construction, maintenance, and management, such as design, manufacturing, sales, facility maintenance and upkeep, daily cleaning and sanitation management, usage management and maintenance, and management of related services and supporting facilities.
