What's the Deal with Zigong's Mobile Toilets

Zigong's mobile toilets are eco-friendly public facilities with multiple innovative features and uses, capable of meeting toilet needs in various scenarios.

Customization and Door-to-Door Delivery

Zigong's mobile sanitary public toilets can be customized according to demand and delivered to the doorstep, with a wide variety of types available. The waterless flushing type uses a mechatronic mechanical device to package and seal excreta in biodegradable plastic bags for centralized collection and treatment. The microbial type utilizes effective microorganisms to completely degrade feces into a mixture of water and gas in a short time, and uses this mixture to flush the feces. The foam water-saving type foams a small amount of water to cover the inside of the toilet bowl, allowing urine and feces to slide into the fecal tank under the action of the foam, and undergo ecological treatment to form harmless organic fertilizer.

Overall Relocation Case

There was once a public toilet in Zigong that was relocated as a whole because a citizen's square was to be built on its original site. To avoid waste and save costs, the construction team relocated the toilet, which weighed over 600 tons, 26 meters eastward and 16 meters northward from its original location, and finally settled it 2 meters downward. The relocation took about half a month, and after the move, it was re-poured at the new site without affecting normal use, demonstrating strong engineering adaptability and flexibility.

Usage Situation

There are four mobile public toilets each on Hui'nan Road (along the sales office of Huashang International City) and the East Extension Line for the use of lantern festival visitors and citizens, and they have received positive reviews. These mobile public toilets, fully known as 'single-unit mobile packaged public toilets', occupy about one square meter of space, are equipped with handrails and tissue boxes, and have no flushing devices. By stepping on the transmission button, a mechanical device pulls a plastic bag to move feces into a fecal storage tank, and a sealing device prevents odor from escaping. The feces can be uniformly treated.

Significant Advantages

• Environmentally friendly: Made from reusable materials, they reduce the consumption of natural resources and waste emissions; some types achieve fecal and urine resource utilization, reducing sewage treatment links.
• Enhance urban management: Timely placement can avoid disputes and complaints caused by public health issues.
• Generate economic benefits: Usage requires payment.
• Highly convenient: They are small in size and occupy little space, and can be directly towed away during renovations without the need for demolition; suitable for public places such as shopping malls, entertainment venues, tourist attractions, squares, parks, and city streets; they can meet emergency needs such as large conferences, facilitating timely toilet use for people; for large-scale events, they can effectively disperse the toilet pressure of the crowd, improve the overall hygiene level of the event site, and can also be quickly deployed to needed locations as temporary emergency facilities.
