Emptying portable toilets

Waste from portable toilets contains bacteria and substances that can be harmful to human health and the environment.

• Toilet waste may only be emptied at designated disposal points.
• Never use a fresh-water hose to rinse a portable toilet or drain.
• Wear gloves or use hand sanitiser to prevent the spread of bacteria.
• Portable toilets are only for urine, faeces and toilet paper. It is important to use only toilet paper intended for portable toilets.
• Use environmentally friendly and biodegradable cleaning products. Avoid chlorine and cleaning products containing formaldehyde or phosphates.
• Where possible, dispose of kitchen and shower wastewater separately rather than into a septic tank or holding tank intended for toilet waste.
