Caught in an unguarded moment, we all have those stories to tell of what Victorians once politely called “the necessary.” Festival porta-potties festering in the midsummer sun…trash-littered latrines as your last option…but what can you do?

We want to give the industry a brand new face lift so people are no longer cringing at the thought of using a porta potty.”
This was the driving force behind Ms. Patterson’s decision in joining the thriving company in 2007, despite her own apprehensions and her daughter’s immediate reaction – “Ewwww!” – upon hearing about her mother’s new job. “That’s exactly the reaction we’re striving to get away from,” Ms. Patterson says.
