    How to Clean a Porta Potty Yourself Sep 20, 2023
    Whether it’s at a construction site, a carnival, a music festival, or otherwise, your porta potty needs to remain clean. A dirty porta potty is not only unsightly and digusting, but potentially dangerous as well. That said, you might be wondering how to clean a porta potty yourself. If so, you’re in the right place. We’re going to show you how below. How to Clean a Porta Potty Yourself There are a few different aspects involved in cleaning a porta potty. These aspects include the following: Remove Waste The cleaning should begin with a removal of the waste. The way this is done is dependent on the type of porta potty that’s being used. Some porta potties possess removable storage drums. Other porta potties require the use of a pump. If you have the former, you can just slide the drum out and empty it into a proper channel; if you have the latter, you will, indeed, need such a pump. Disinfect the Porta Potty Next, the porta potty will need to be disinfected. This includes everything from the toilet bowl to the toilet seat to the walls of the porta potty and otherwise. To facilitate this, you’ll need a high-powered (and ideally scented) disinfectant. Prepare the Porta Potty for Its Next Use Finally, you need to prepare the porta potty for its next use. This means replenishing the toilet paper, spraying some air freshener, and adding the correct chemicals to the toilet bowl. Should You Just Use a Porta Potty Cleaning Service?

In addition, you don’t have to experiment with any trial and error. The professionals will come in and get the job done right on the first try. There’s also the time aspect. Cleaning a porta potty on your own can set you back a few hours. Odds are, you don’t have this amount of time devote. Sure, you’ll have to spend a little money in order to utilize the services of a professional. But, in the grand scheme of things, it’s a small price to pay.

  • How Are Portable Toilets Emptied?
    How Are Portable Toilets Emptied? Aug 07, 2023
    To empty the waste in the portable toilet, sanitation technicians use a vacuum-like hose into the hole of the toilet. The other end is attached to a hose pump and the waste goes into the truck there. The truck will take the waste to a water treatment plant to be treated from there. After the waste is removed, the technicians ‘charge’ the toilet, which means they put several gallons of blue liquid into the toilet. This is a disinfectant and odor neutralizer, and it can also measure the usage of the porta potty, so workers know when to service it again. The portable toilet is then scrubbed because there could be footprints, mud, trash, and other items in and around the unit. The unit is scrubbed down including any windows, the toilet set, the walls, the floor, and everything in between. The disinfectant spray is used after to ensure that everything is as clean and sanitary as possible. Once things are empty and clean, the portable toilet is re-stocked. Supplies can go quickly and the paper towels, soap, hand sanitizer, and other items need to be refreshed at that time. This servicing process is an important part of keeping the portable toilets in nice working order. When you rent what you need for your event, talk to the professionals about how often the servicing process needs to take place.

In the United Kingdom, container homes are legal, but they are subject to specific regulations and planning permissions, like any other residential construction. To build a container home in the UK, it is necessary to obtain planning permission from the local authority, which will assess factors such as the proposed location, design, and impact on the surrounding area. Additionally, container homes must adhere to the Building Regulations, which cover various aspects of construction, including structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, ventilation, and energy efficiency. It is essential for those considering building a container home to consult with local planning authorities and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. By doing so, they can create a safe, comfortable, and legally compliant living space that meets the unique needs of modern homeowners while embracing sustainable and innovative construction methods.

However, if you plan to use the container as a permanent dwelling or as a commercial space, you will need planning permission from your local council. Do You Need Planning Permission for a Container Home? Yes, you will need planning permission for a container home if it is intended to be used as a permanent dwelling. This is because it will be considered a new building and will need to meet building regulations and other planning requirements. Whether or not you need planning permission to place a shipping container on your land in the United Kingdom depends on the intended use and duration of its placement. If the container serves a temporary purpose, such as storage during a construction project or renovation, it may not require planning permission, provided it is removed once the purpose is fulfilled. However, it is always prudent to consult your local planning authority for clarification on temporary structures. How Much Does it Cost to Convert a Shipping Container to a House in the UK? The cost of converting a shipping container into a house in the UK can vary significantly based on factors such as the sise and condition of the container, the complexity of the design, the materials used, and the desired level of finish. On average, a basic conversion of a single 20-foot shipping container can range from £10,000 to £25,000, while more elaborate and larger projects involving multiple containers or high-end finishes can cost upwards of £50,000 to £100,000 or more. It is essential to consider additional expenses beyond the container’s initial purchase and conversion costs. These may include the cost of acquiring land, planning permission fees, building regulation compliance, site preparation, foundation work, utility connections, and any landscaping or exterior work required. Moreover, the project’s location and the availability of skilled labour and materials can significantly influence the overall cost. Given the wide range of factors affecting the cost of a container home conversion, it is crucial to thoroughly research and plan your project, taking into account your specific needs, budget, and local regulations.

These containers are in excellent condition, with minimal wear and tear, and are often preferred for projects requiring a clean and structurally sound base. Used 20-foot containers, which have spent more time in service, are more affordable, with prices ranging from £1,200 to £2,500, depending on their condition. While used containers can be more cost-effective, it is essential to carefully assess their structural integrity, as some may have sustained damage or corrosion during their previous use. It is crucial to note that these prices are approximate and can fluctuate based on market conditions, location, and the specific container’s features. It is always advisable to shop around and obtain quotes from multiple suppliers to find the best deal for your needs. Where Can I Put My Shipping Container Home in the UK?

They will assess factors such as the proposed location, design, and impact on the surrounding area.

  • What's the Life Cycle of a Porta Potty?
    What's the Life Cycle of a Porta Potty? Jul 17, 2023
    The average lifespan of a porta potty is around 10 years, and a lot can happen in that decade. There are many types of portable toilets and they’ve come a long way since the first porta potty models. Just a few include luxury trailers, toilets with baby changing tables, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant toilets, and more. Some units (trailers, for example) are built for custom purposes with a limited lifespan. But the vast majority are durable polyethylene units that are made to stand up to years of use. So, what’s the life cycle of a porta potty? Stages: the life cycle of a porta potty Heavy-duty plastic construction and water-saving technology means porta potties only need to be serviced every 200 uses or so. These stages are a general rule of thumb. The number of people using the unit and the amount of time it spends being hauled from location to location can put extra wear on units over time. New from factory When these sparkling clean units come off the factory floor, they’re generally reserved for special events. Brand new units will usually feature the latest technologies. For example, new solar panel restrooms look and feel more like a regular restroom rather than a traditional porta potty. New units are more expensive for porta potty vendors to purchase, so they may be in limited supply. This largely depends on your location. In rural areas or areas where there isn’t much demand for portable toilets, it may be more difficult to find brand new units. On the other hand, there are events vendors that specialize in upscale events. They’ll have access to the newest event porta potty models and features, and they may be willing to deliver outside their normal service area. Light wear New toilets can be like new cars. When newer models and technologies are released, older units move down a tier. No longer new, but not yet old, these “light wear” porta potties are often used at events and construction sites. They may not be the latest and greatest, but these are clean units in good repair. This is the most common grade of portable toilet you’ll see on worksites and events where many toilets are needed. Fun runs, festivals, and events where large crowds are gathered will likely have many rows of these toilets available. Moderate wear If you’ve ever stepped into a portable toilet that has seen better days, maybe at a carnival or state fair, then you’ve been inside a unit that’s reached the midpoint of its life cycle. These units are still clean and functional, but they probably show signs of having been hauled around a lot and maybe even tipped, dragged, dented, or tagged here and there. Scratches and dents are pretty typical. And they probably look pretty dated as well. You will definitely find these on many construction sites. Demolition sites, in particular, may opt for these older porta potties because it won’t be a complete loss if the unit is damaged or unintentionally destroyed. While these units are still sanitary and safe to use, they may not be great to look at. (Luckily polyethylene doesn’t hold odors, so they shouldn’t smell!) Heavy wear The last stage of the game for porta potties is when they’ve had so much wear and tear that they need to be replaced. This may include damage caused by accidents or general wear and tear. The plastics and parts used in porta potty manufacturing are designed to last longer than their typical 10-year life cycle, but after a decade most portable toilets do show their age. Especially if they’ve been dragged around construction sites. Restroom trailers and custom units that don’t get a lot of use each year could last much longer than a decade. But for everyday porta potties, all the moving around and servicing will add up to more wear in a shorter amount of time. Toilets at the end of their life cycle may be resold to private parties or dismantled to be properly destroyed. So, where will your rental fall in the life cycle of a porta potty? When you’re purchasing portable toilets for events, construction sites, emergency use, or even home improvement DIY projects, it will almost always be in the light to moderate wear category. That may vary by location and demand at the time. When in doubt, give us a call! Topindus will help you find the right portable toilets for your project.

    Top 6 reasons to buy a flat pack container Jul 05, 2023
    1.Man portable: As well as being easy to fit in spaces which can't accommodate a normal shipping container, each piece of the container can be carried in by hand if required. 2.Easy to assemble: Flat pack containers take roughly an hour to assemble using a simple socket set. We suggest for assembly that you'd need one person per metre depending on the size of container you've ordered. 3.Strong and secure: Although made with thinner metal to ensure all pieces can be man portable, flat pack containers are made using corrugated galvanised steel meaning when assembled they are durable and strong, providing true anti-vandal storage. 4.Modular: Another reason to buy a flat pack container from our genuine Expanda range is that they are all able to be joined together using a simple linking kit to form longer or wider areas as required. 5.Insulation: Insulated flat pack storage containers are now available, to protect the contents from condensation. 6.Discounted delivery: Due to the nature of the flat pack containers, delivery rates can be kept low as we can share the transport on rotational delivery schedules to different areas of the country.
