Portable Toilet Information

OOPS Toilettes Portatives Inc. uses Canadian made PolyJohn portable toilets purchased from Rama Plastics located in Orillia Ontario. Buying Canadian made toilets ensures us of a quality made toilet and a fast and continuous supply of parts. Portable toilets are very versatile and can come in many various configurations and colors. When we order toilets they arrive unassembled and in many pieces, to assemble a toilet usually requires 1-2 hours. Once assembled they are then catalogued and our name and logo is added and the toilet is ready for rental. A question often asked is "How much do they cost?" Approximately $1100.00 Cdn (No we are not joking, they cost that much).

Portable toilets need regular care and maintenance to keep them clean and functioning properly. This can range from a simple wipe-down with a rag and cleaning products, to full-blown servicing with a hot water pressure wash system and special chemicals. Toilets are normally pressure washed and sanitized between rentals to ensure a high degree of hygiene.

Usually the common steps in servicing a portable toilet includes first pumping of the waste in the tank, the replacement of the water and chemicals in the tank and a thorough cleaning with disinfectants specially made for portable toilets.

When delivering a portable toilet to a client there are a few important steps to consider when setting it up. An empty toilet weights approximately 80 kg or 175 lbs, with a full tank the toilet can weight over 300 lbs.

• First, it should sit on a firm level surface. If the surface is not level
  the toilet moves and is unstable. In very uneven ground the toilet
  could tip over while someone is inside.
• Second, make sure the unit is located in a place where we can
  service it. There are times where this will not be the case and the
  client wants it in a certain place where it is hard to get at,. If we can't
  get to the toilet, how are you going to service it? Our 1 ton service
  truck has a 25 ft hose.
• Third, we highly recommend the signing of a contract as soon as
  the unit is delivered. The customer inspects the unit, we note any
  defects or problems and the client then signs the contract which
  informs him/her that they are responsible for the unit. The unit has a
  $1000.00 replacement value and is normally covered by the
  homeowners insurance policy.
  

The contract also stipulates the cost, cleaning schedule, delivery and pickup times, contacts and any special requirements. Toilets are normally paid on delivery for weekly, weekend or daily rentals.
In normal toilet rentals we supply 2 rolls of single ply commercial grade toilet paper. The paper is replenished as required at every additional cleaning.
We also ask that small children are supervised when using the toilet.
