Only in Maine?
Imagine seeing this as you drive down the road! One woman
and her friend got a shot of the unique way in which this
portable sanitation unit was being transported down a
major road in Oakland, Maine last summer and sent it to a
radio station. Of course, we all know that ratchet strapping
a portable unit to the roof of a Mitsubishi SUV is a good

(and makes one curious as to his final destination).

Company Charged with Dumping
In Florida, the now former employee of a Jacksonville-based
portable sanitation company has been charged with illegally
dumping roughly 700 gallons of sewage in a wooded area on
the north side. The company disavowed knowing what had
happened in this case, but faced similar charges in 2015, when
employees were found dumping portable toilet waste down a
private drain meant for permitted RV septic tanks during special
events. The 2015 incident cost the company $58,000 in fines.

Keeping Hope Afloat in NOLA
Facing a second year of no traditional Mardi Gras parade or
Jazz Fest, owners of this house decided to turn their home

selected pay homage to Jazz Fest staples including mango
freezes, crawfish Monica, and crawfish bread. They also
turned their front door into a blue portable toilet entrance,
complete with a roll of toilet paper above the door. The
spectacle also inspired a gift of crawfish bread from the
family who has served it at Jazz Fest for 40 years.
