Street Public Mobile Toilet

Admin September 21, 2026

A street public mobile toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and placed in places such as streets to provide toilet services to the public.

Applicable Places: Street public mobile toilets have a wide range of applicable places, covering streets, stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential communities, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets. These places have a large flow of people, and the demand for toilets is temporary or periodic. Mobile toilets can well meet these needs.

Design and Services: Taking the mobile public toilets in Pudong New Area as an example, after the update, they focus on harmony and aesthetics. They use soft colors such as light beige and light brown as the base, with dark blue outlining the borders and adding local embellishments, which are easy to identify and locate and enhance attractiveness. In areas with a high flow of people, barrier-free passages and stainless-steel handrails are added around. The interior facilities of ordinary toilet compartments are complete, including urinals, squat pits, and washbasins, with simple and bright decoration. They also create "age-friendly and child-friendly toilet compartments", with auxiliary handrails installed beside the toilets, exclusive adaptation for children's toilet areas, and real-time synchronization of the usage status on the electronic screens of the toilet compartment doors. Some mobile public toilets also have "sanitation stations" equipped with refrigerators, shower rooms, microwaves, charging ports, and other facilities.

Structure and Classification: They are generally composed of fecal sewage storage tanks (or disposal devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. According to the structural form, they are divided into single-structure and composite-structure mobile toilets; according to the moving method, they are divided into lifting and handling types, and powered and towed types of mobile toilets; according to the sewage treatment method, they are divided into water-flushing and waterless-flushing suction types, circulating water-flushing types, and dry-packing types of mobile toilets.

Advantages and Origin: They have the advantages of being movable, combinable, and easy to transport. They originated from people's temporary and periodic demand for toilets in specific occasions. The government places them in areas where it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets to make up for the insufficient supply and unreasonable layout of public toilets.
