Rural Simple Mobile Toilets

Rural simple mobile toilets mainly come in two types: simple toilet seats and portable small restrooms, and their production methods can be customized according to needs.

Types and Characteristics

• Simple toilet seats: By using a bucket with an appropriate diameter at the opening from home and pairing it with a toilet seat cushion with fixed slots, it can instantly transform into a mobile toilet seat, providing a relatively comfortable sitting experience. This type of simple toilet seat has a low production cost and is easy to operate, making it suitable for rural households with low requirements for toilet facilities and limited budgets.
• Portable small restrooms: These are mostly made of steel or plastic and have relatively rich internal configurations, including squat toilets and flush tanks. Some even have shower functions. Their prices range from four to five hundred to five to six thousand yuan, with the price difference mainly depending on the configuration level. High-configuration portable small restrooms have more comprehensive functions, better meeting the diverse living needs of rural residents and improving their quality of life.

Usage Cases and Effects

In Shitai County, Anhui Province, after the transformation, villagers who use mobile restrooms have seen a significant increase in living convenience. They no longer have to grope in the dark to go to the outhouse at night. Moreover, the government covers the entire installation process and even provides water heaters, greatly improving the living conditions of the villagers. In Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province, Sister Geng's family uses a mobile restroom with a three-chamber septic tank, which can even recycle wastewater. By spending a few thousand yuan on transforming the mobile restroom, they have not only solved the toilet problem but also elevated their quality of life to a new level. These cases fully demonstrate that rural simple mobile toilets can effectively improve the living environment and quality of life of rural residents.

Production Methods

A young man used a water storage tank and a pallet to make a portable restroom. First, he fixed universal wheels at the four corners of the bottom of the pallet, placed a water storage tank retrieved from a garbage station, cut it to form an open tank body, stacked and fixed two water storage tanks with open tops, cut out a doorway, made a drainage hole on the internal floor, installed a toilet, a faucet, a washbasin, a showerhead, etc., and finally installed a door. This production method has a relatively low cost and allows for personalized design according to one's own needs, making it suitable for rural residents with certain hands-on skills.
