What is a Portable Toilet / Loo?

Features of Bukaloo® Portable Toilets:

  • Construction: Typically made of molded plastic or fiberglass, offering privacy with a lockable door.

    • Building Sites

    • Summer Fairs
    • Fetes
    • Sports Events

Technical Components:

  • Holding Tank: Stores wastewater and sewage, reducing the need for frequent emptying.
  • Flushing Mechanism: Flushes waste into the holding tank using water or chemicals.

How do Bukaloo® Portable Toilets / Loos Work?

Bukaloo® portable toilets are designed for simplicity and effectiveness, making them suitable for various locations without needing connections to mains water supply or sewage systems.

Operating Mechanism:

  • Flush System: Portable toilets use either water from an internal tank or chemicals from a nearby holding tank to flush waste and liquids.
  • Self-Containment: These units are fully self-contained, which means they operate independently of external plumbing infrastructure.
  • Chemicals Used:
    • Dye: Typically blue in color, the dye serves two purposes. It masks the appearance of waste and acts as a visual indicator. As the tank fills, the blue dye gradually turns green, signaling that it’s time for emptying.
    • Biocides: These chemicals inhibit bacteria growth in the waste, helping to reduce odors and maintain hygiene.
    • Fragrances: Added to provide a pleasant smell and enhance the user experience.
    • Surfactants (Detergents): Assist in the breakdown of waste and improve the overall effectiveness of the chemicals.

Benefits of Chemical Usage:

  • Hygienic Environment: Chemicals ensure a safe and hygienic environment by effectively managing waste bacteria.
  • Odor Control: Biocides and fragrances work together to minimize unpleasant odors, making the portable toilets more comfortable for users.
  • Flexibility: Since they do not rely on external connections, Bukaloo® portable toilets can be placed in diverse locations, offering flexibility and convenience.

Sustainability and Efficiency:

  • Environmentally Safe: The chemicals used are harmless to people and the environment, meeting safety standards while effectively managing waste.
  • Operational Ease: Users benefit from straightforward functionality, with clear indicators for when servicing is required based on the color change of the dye.

Benefits of Portable Toilets:

  • Self-Contained: Operates independently without mains connections, reducing setup time and costs.
  • Safety: Some units include lighting for use during night events, ensuring user safety.
  • Variety: Options include standalone toilets, urinals, baby changing units, and disabled access toilets.
  • Versatility: Suitable for any location, from remote outdoor settings to temporary event venues.
  • Cost-Effective: Saves costs compared to permanent installations, ideal for one-time events.

How to Use a Bukaloo® Portable Toilet

Using a Bukaloo® portable toilet is straightforward and ensures privacy and cleanliness in any location.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Lock the Door: Ensure privacy by locking the door securely.
  2. Sit or Stand: Use the toilet as needed, whether for a full use “poo” or a quick visit “wee we pee pea”
  3. Flush: After use, flush the toilet using the flushing mechanism provided. This either uses water from an internal tank or chemicals from a nearby holding tank to remove waste.
  4. Consider Toilet Paper Usage: Be mindful of how much toilet paper you use, as portable toilets have limited storage capacity.

What Happens to the Waste?

Bukaloo® portable toilets ensure efficient waste management without the need for a central sewage system, offering a practical solution for various environments.

Waste Disposal Process:

  • Functionality: Similar to conventional toilets, Bukaloo® portable toilets flush waste away after each use.
  • Holding Tank: Instead of connecting to a sewage system, waste is directed into a specially designed holding tank located beneath the toilet seat.
  • Chemical Treatment: The holding tank contains chemicals that effectively break down waste, neutralize odors, and inhibit bacterial growth. These chemicals include biocides to manage bacteria and fragrances for a pleasant environment.
  • Environmental Impact: The chemicals used are safe for both users and the environment, meeting regulatory standards for waste disposal.

Difference from Traditional Toilets:

  • Central Waste System: Traditional toilets are connected to a sewage network, where waste travels through pipes to treatment facilities.
  • Self-Contained System: Bukaloo® portable toilets operate independently, making them suitable for locations without access to sewage infrastructure.

Maintenance and Sustainability:

  • Regular Servicing: Bukaloo® provides a weekly service that includes emptying the holding tank, replenishing chemicals, and ensuring the toilet is clean and ready for use.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Waste disposal complies with government regulations, ensuring proper management and minimal environmental impact.

Portable toilets benefits

Portable toilets have a lot of advantages over traditional permanent toilet facilities.

These include:

  • Self-contained – They don’t need a connection to mains electricity or water to function. Portable toilets / loos operate with only a flushing system and holding tank. This takes the hassle out of connecting pipes and electric costs.
  • Safety – Many portable toilet / loos units have lighting. This makes them perfect for weddings and festivals to ensure safety for users at night.
  • Variety of units available – Portable toilets come in a range of forms. Whether you need standalone toilets or urinals, you will find a unit to suit you. There’s also the option of baby changing units and disabled access toiletsas well. And if you want something a bit special, luxury toilet trailers are a great option but we don’t provide these unfortunately.
  • Suit any location – The best thing about a portable toilet is that they can fit any location. Think of remote or outdoor weddings, campsites, construction sites, environmental areas, festivals, and parties. They can be positioned almost anywhere and provide backup to existing toilets.
  • Cost-effective – Portable toilets save you the cost and hassle of sourcing permanent toilets. Especially when your event is a one-off. And remember, you only pay for what you use.

The Many Names People Use for Portable Loos/Toilets

Have you ever asked yourself what a Porta-Potty, or a Kybo, and even a Johnny-on-the-Spot have in common? No of course you haven’t!!!

You’ll probably not have a Portable Toilet / Loo at the top of your list of priorities. … that is until you really need one—but Portable Toilets come with a surprising variety of nick names and we thought this may be of interest.

So now your thinking: “Why on earth would I want to keep reading about Portable Toilets?”

Think about it: Portable Toilets / Loos are everywhere: Building Sites, Construction Sites, Weddings, used extensively at Outdoor Events, and anywhere else you can think of where a traditional plumbed in toilet might not reach.

Yet surprisingly, they’re often only thought about when a plumbing disaster may have occurred, or your organising an event / outdoor festival, probably if your in the building and construction business then building sites are places where a Portable Toilet / Loo is absolutely necessary.

Whatever you do, wherever you are, whatever your need. Modern Portable Toilets / Loos from Bukaloo® are surprisingly clean and very well maintained.

In Scunthorpe, the most common words used are “portable toilets or portable loos” as well as “Thunder Box” and across in the USA “Porta-John” is a typical nickname. Portaloo® however is not a term anyone other than Portakabin® can describe a Portable Toilet unless that is you relish being dragged through the British courts defending trademark infringement!

But there are many more ways to think of or describe a Portable Toilet. From the straightforward “Construction Toilet” to the more whimsical “Biffy,” these compact plastic conveniences carry names and colloquial nicknames that can evoke curiosity—and even stir a chuckle or two.

Whether you call them johnnies-on-the-spot, portaloo’s *buyer beware, or something else entirely, let’s look at the many different things you can call these Plastic Portable Event or Construction Site Toilets and discover: What’s in a name?

Porta-Potty

“Porta-Potty®” is not just a common term in the U.S., but also a brand name that has become synonymous with portable toilets overall, much like Kleenex is for tissues, or Portakabin® for Portable Buildings. The term Porta Potty originated in the 1960s when the first portable toilets were patented and commercialized for use at outdoor events and construction sites.

Porta-John

This term is used interchangeably with Porta-Potty again in many parts of the U.S.A. Its likely emergence as a marketing alternative to Porta Potty appears to show the  toilet units as less sterile and more user-friendly, emphasizing a sense of familiarity and ease of use in environments that lack standard plumbing facilities.

Mobile Toilets

The “mobile toilet” term is more formal and we’ve heard the term more recently here in the UK, its mainly used in official context describing plastic toilets which can be easily moved and set up quickly in various locations. Portable Toilets / Loos are crucial for providing sanitation in temporary setups like outdoor events, music festivals, summer fetes, camp sites, building sites and extensively used in disaster relief operations. There is a strong focus here on the portability and adaptability, which are key features allowing these toilets to meet the temporary needs of a mobile population.

Portable Loo (or Porta-Loo)—common in the UK

In the UK, the term “loo” colloquially refers to a toilet, making “portable loo” a natural linguistic adaptation. “Porta-Loo” is often used (incorrectly as it is in fact Portaloo® is a trademark owned by Portakabin® Limited and as I’ve mentioned above jealously defended to extreme lengths by in our opinion a big corporate bully) Portable Toilets / Loos are commonly used during large events such as music festivals or sports events where permanent facilities are insufficient. The term (unless you understood the bully boy tactics of Portakabin®) generally conveys a friendly, informal vibe while maintaining the dignity of privacy and cleanliness in public settings.

Johnny-on-the-Spot

This nickname refers to a highly reliable and readily available portable toilet service in the United States which implies that these units are always available when and where you need them. This term has been popularized by businesses specializing in portable toilet hire, highlighting a commitment to providing timely and efficient services. It underscores the convenience aspect, portraying these toilets as “solutions” Toilet Solution’s that solve immediate needs at crowded events, emergency situations, or construction sites.

Portable Washrooms

Similar to “portable restroom,” the term “portable washroom” is more commonly used in Canada as well as certain parts of the U.S. It generally refers to toilet units that include both toilet and handwashing facilities, emphasizing the full-service aspect. These units are designed to offer a higher standard of hygiene and are typically equipped with amenities like soap dispensers, mirrors, and sometimes even heating elements for use in colder climates. For more information see Bukaloo®  Hot Shot Toilets

Job Site Toilets

“Job Site Toilet” specifically refers to portable toilets placed at building and construction sites or at a factory or on an industrial project where permanent facilities are either not installed or there is a “wish to keep” certain visitors out of main factory areas.. These units are essential for maintaining sanitation standards in compliance with health and safety regulations. They are built to withstand harsh conditions and frequent use, ensuring all workers have access to necessary facilities without leaving the work area.

Event Toilets

This designates portable toilets, urinals, disabled toilets and  hand wash stations etc  used during public gatherings, festivals, and large outdoor events. These toilets and various items of equipment are designed for high turnover and are often part of a larger array of facilities including multiple units with different capabilities, such as accessibility features for individuals with disabilities. Their deployment helps manage large crowds, preventing long lines and promoting better sanitary conditions.

Chemical Toilets

A “Chemical Toilet” is predominantly a United Kingdom a term which is used to refer to a specific type of portable toilet which uses a SAFECHEM type product to minimize bad smells within the portable toilet and replacing the need for traditional toilets or indeed a plumbing system. These are self-contained plastic units where chemicals break down waste and reduce pathogens before the waste is manually removed. Common in camping and boating environments, these toilets are crucial for situations where connection to sewer systems is impractical.

Temp Toilets

The term “temp toilet” refers to temporary toilet facilities used for short-term needs, often during events or renovations when regular bathrooms are unavailable. These are basic units intended to provide essential services on a temporary basis. They highlight the adaptability and temporary nature of the solution.

Festival Toilets

Naturally, these specifically refer to portable toilets rented for outdoor Shows or Music Festivals for instance due to an expected high density of people and often remote locations of the event or festival, Portable Toilets / Loos are a critical part of an event infrastructure. Festival Toilets do vary from basic models to more sophisticated units with additional features like flushing toilets and running water, depending on the duration of the festival and the budget of the organizers.

Construction Toilets

Correct !! you guessed it, a popular term for portable toilets used on building sites or at general construction sites. Portable Toilets / Loos are a necessity for workers and staff and for maintaining compliance with the extensive laws which require businesses to provide sanitation facilities at work sites, they are typically rugged units, and designed to handle the rough environment of a construction site, The Toilets are strategically placed to be easily accessible to workers while being out of the way of building and construction activities.

Field Toilets

This term may be used to describe portable toilets in agricultural or remote field settings where permanent facilities are non existent. They are important during seasonal agricultural work where operatives are out in remote fields for long periods of time. Field toilets again help maintain sanitary conditions, and reduce the need to travel long distances to access traditional toilet facilities.

Portalet

The term “Portalet” is commonly used in various countries, particularly  in the Philippines, to refer to portable toilets / loos. The term is derived from the combination of “portable” and “toilet,” and often used in various settings like building and construction projects, outdoor festivals and events, and sometimes disaster-stricken areas, flooding for example where permanent facilities have been compromised. These units are essential for maintaining sanitation standards and are often equipped with basic features.

Biffy

“Biffy” is a nickname used generally in the Midwest United States of America. Generally seen as a playful take on the more formal terms and is often used within the camping and festivals faternity. Whilst not well-documented the origin of the term is thought to perhaps be derived from a company name or simply a turn on “bathroom” and “potty.” Regardless of origins, it reflects a regional preference for a more informal, approachable term for a necessary facility.

Kybo

Used in scouting and by some communities in the Midwestern U.S.A.,  A “Kybo” is an informal term for portable toilets / loos. The origins of a “Kybo” generally believed to be from the early days of scouting, and it’s particularly used on camping sites, temporary scout camps and outdoor sports activities organized by scouting groups.

Honey Bucket

“Honey Bucket” is a lovely term which is used in various regions of the States. It’s also the business name of a company that provides these toilets. Historically, “Honey Bucket” refers to the honey-coloured chemicals and waste that would accumulate in the tank. It’s a friendly and less formal term for a toilet, and it’s typically used in rural or less formal settings.

Sani-John

The famous “Sani-John” being another variant of the portable toilet / loo name, similar to “Porta-John.” Sani-John” emphasizes the sanitation aspects of the toilets. The use of “Sani” offers a focus on cleanliness and hygiene, which key aspects that these toilet facilities aim to address. The Sani-John term can be used by companies to market portable toilets as clean and hygienic solutions for temporary sanitation needs.

Potty Wagon

The “Potty Wagon” again is a United States regional name referring to a large-scale portable toilet system generally mounted on a trailer that can be towed to different locations. This “potty wagon” term is used particularly when a significant number of portable toilet / loo units are required, such as during large public events or film shoots. The “wagon” part conveys its mobility, maneuverability and overall larger scale, emphasizing its capability to handle larger crowds.

Comfort Station

The “Comfort Station” being a term used to describe facilities which provide more than just portable toilet / loo services; comfort stations can include showers and changing areas as well. These units are commonly found in parks or by the beach and sometimes on large recreational parks/fields. As the term suggests there is a  higher level of comfort within the amenities, which aim to provide a more comprehensive solution for day to day visitors who may spend extended periods of time at a location.

Restroom Trailer

A “Restroom Trailer” is a more upscale version of the typical portable toilet and is used at events where a higher standard of comfort and aesthetics is desired. These type of units feature being overall more practical and offer comfort items for instance running water, battery lighting, air conditioning, and often even decorative elements which provide a level of luxury not found in standard portable toilets and are preferred at weddings, corporate events, and other high-end occasions.
