Brian Carey – United Site Services
In the end, portable sanitation is vital for all people to take part in the activities and tasks that they want and need
to be a part of. Whether you need a portable facility at a place of work or entertainment, they are helpful, and they
are necessary. These units promote good hygiene, decrease the harmful spread of diseases, and eliminate the
embarrassment of trying to relieve yourself in a place where a facility is not present. Numerous benefits can be
noted, from the alleviation of stress to find a bathroom, to the positive environmental impacts that were previously
mentioned, which intermingle to make portable sanitation invaluable.
Lauren Wagner – A-Relief Services, Inc.
I remember my only time working for my stepfather's portable restroom company. The summer day was a blaring
90 degrees and I was fifteen - too young to be hired by any other employer other than a family member. I needed
money to fund my new learner's permit, so he offered to take me to work…
I learned that working at a portable restroom company was more than just unloading them and loading - it was a
large, detailed process. I cleaned around ten portable restrooms that afternoon, wiping the seats clean, refilling the
hand sanitizer and hosing the outside walls until they sparkled. That day, I understood and respected the people
who committed their time to distribute portable, sanitary restrooms to the public.
