Xiamen Movable Public Toilets

Xiamen's movable public toilets offer advantages such as water conservation and environmental protection, easy installation, simple maintenance, hygiene and safety, and flexible layout. Additionally, there is a rental business, and a '15-minute toilet access circle' has basically been formed.

Water Conservation and Environmental Protection: Xiamen's waterless municipal movable public toilets use microbial decomposition technology or vacuum suction systems to treat waste without the need for tap water. In a city like Xiamen, where water resources are relatively scarce, these toilets can save several tons of water per day on average, effectively alleviating water resource pressure and aligning with the concept of sustainable development.

Easy Installation: They have a short installation period, typically taking only 1 - 2 days to deploy. They can adapt to complex terrains such as temporary tourist peaks in scenic spots and municipal engineering construction areas without damaging the original landscape of the scenic spots. For example, at venues for temporary events, they can quickly set up toilet facilities that meet the needs.

Simple Maintenance: Without the need for complex water supply and drainage pipes, daily maintenance only requires regular cleaning of fecal waste or replacement of adsorbent materials. This reduces operation and maintenance costs by more than 40% and the failure rate to only one-third of that of traditional public toilets, greatly reducing the workload of sanitation workers.

Hygiene and Safety: They treat waste through physical or chemical methods, avoiding the odor problems of traditional public toilets. Some products are also equipped with deodorization systems and air purification devices, with reasonably designed compartments and strong privacy, providing users with a good toilet environment.

Flexible Layout: They can be adjusted in position according to pedestrian flow needs. For example, during the Xiamen Marathon, dozens of movable public toilets are temporarily set up around the event area and quickly removed after the event without affecting road traffic. During peak tourist seasons on holidays, they can quickly fill the service gaps of fixed facilities to ensure the normal operation of the city.

In addition, there is a mobile toilet rental business in Xiamen, covering various types such as mobile toilets for epidemic prevention centers, portable mobile toilets, and outdoor mobile toilets, which can be used in various scenarios such as marathons, concerts, music festivals, and construction sites. From 2025 to 2026, there will be a mobile toilet rental procurement project in Yuanboyuan, with a budget amount and maximum price limit of 201,780 yuan each, using a competitive negotiation procurement method. Moreover, a '15-minute toilet access circle' has basically been formed in Xiamen, facilitating the use of citizens and tourists.
