portable toilets

Temporary outdoor restrooms

Portable toilets are self-contained restroom units that can be moved from place to place, typically plastic enclosures with a holding tank for waste.

They appear at construction sites, outdoor festivals, and anywhere crowds gather without permanent facilities: A row of portable toilets lined the edge of the fairgrounds.

The branded term porta-potty has become nearly generic.
