Sichuan Municipal Mobile Toilet
The construction of mobile toilets in Sichuan's municipal areas has formed a diversified application system covering scenic spots, urban emergency response, and rural adaptation, and is gradually upgrading towards intelligence and eco-friendliness.
I. Well-planned Layout in Scenic Spots and Public Places
Sichuan has widely deployed mobile toilets in popular scenic spots such as Jiuzhaigou and Mount Emei, with over 2,000 units installed in key scenic areas, averaging one unit every 500 meters, capable of meeting the daily demand of 100,000 people during peak hours. The facilities are designed with a focus on humanization, equipped with non-slip floors, ventilation systems, odor control devices, and barrier-free facilities, with some adopting microbial degradation technology to reduce odors. For example, Mount Emei has achieved rapid capacity expansion through modular combinations, effectively addressing toilet pressure during the peak tourist season.
II. Emergency and Transitional Functions in Urban Management
Cities like Chengdu and Mianyang have added 1,200 smart mobile toilets during major events (such as the 2025 Chengdu Universiade), integrating functions such as sensor-based flushing, remote monitoring, and air quality monitoring to ensure hygiene and safety. In the renovation of old residential areas, mobile toilets serve as transitional facilities to alleviate residents' toilet difficulties during construction. For instance, a renovation project in an old residential area in Chengdu reduced complaints about toilet issues during construction by 70% by deploying three mobile toilets.
III. Eco-adaptive Practices in Rural Revitalization
In rural tourism development, Sichuan has piloted "eco-mobile toilets," adopting fecal-sewage separation technology to achieve wastewater resource utilization. Over 300 eco-friendly mobile toilets in Liangshan Prefecture and Aba Prefecture reduce energy consumption through solar power and rainwater harvesting systems, protecting the fragile ecological environment of the plateau while enhancing tourist experiences. For example, the deployment of eco-mobile toilets in Daocheng Yading Scenic Area has reduced ammonia nitrogen levels in surrounding water bodies by 40%.
IV. Significant Trends in Intelligent Upgrades
Some regions have introduced Internet of Things (IoT) technology, allowing real-time查询 (query, here it should be understood as checking) of toilet locations and usage status via mobile apps. Smart guidance screens are installed around Chengdu Metro stations to display toilet occupancy. The hoisting-type mobile toilets (priced at 129,500 yuan each) purchased by the Deyang Economic and Technological Development Zone are equipped with remote monitoring systems to track water and electricity consumption, equipment failures, and other data in real-time, enabling refined management.
V. Market Prices and Procurement Cases
The prices of mobile toilets vary significantly depending on type and configuration: microbial mobile toilets cost approximately 169.1 yuan each (basic model), while customized prefabricated eco-toilets are priced at around 159.6 yuan per square meter. In a 2025 procurement project by the Deyang Economic and Technological Development Zone, two hoisting-type mobile toilets were purchased for a total of 259,000 yuan, reflecting high-end customized demands.
