Take a look at the excerpts click on the titles and read the full story at your leisure. 

In this first story we're told of a township where the permanent installation of portable toilets at residences have come under fire...

Jackson Councilman: No Plan to Ban Portable Toilets After Complaint Against Orthodox

“Hello all. Apparently there is a portable toilet spree going on in the town. There has been a portable Toilet in the backyard of [address] for A while now. They have also popped up on New Prospect and Brookwood Parkway,’ wrote Chris Kisseberth, a representative of the Jackson Strong group which has been closely monitoring the activities of Orthodox Jews in town for the past year.  “Is there a town ordinance on this portable toilet use? I can see The use for a party or certain construction reasons but who in their right mind would just ”plop” one In their backyard for regular use? Perhaps an ordinance can be made if there isn’t one that would state what allowance is the use of the porta potties?? Please send a response in a timely manner.”

In the next story sometimes a portable toilet company and their facility can be located a little too close to home for some...

WILL YOU NEED PORTA POTTYS AT YOUR SUMMERTIME EVENTS?

Porta pottys will be a necessity at a wide range of popular summertime events! Porta pottys may only be needed for a few hours, a few weeks, or a month or more depending on the length of your event. There are countless number of summertime events where a porta potty rental will be needed but these five are the most common here in the Tri-State of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky.

PORTA POTTY AT THE LAKE OR CAMPGROUND

During the super hot and humid days of summer, families will be heading to the lake and local campgrounds to relax and soak up the sun. Popular lakes and campgrounds can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends. In order to meet the sanitation needs campers and lake swimmers on crowded days, the officials can rent porta pottys to have in addition to the regular public restrooms. Nobody wants to spend all their time in a line waiting to use the restroom at the lake or campground. By providing temporary porta pottys campground and lake management will make their stay much more enjoyable, even with large crowds in attendance.

FAMILY REUNIONS

Cookouts, sporting events, the playground, picnics are all activities taking place at family reunions around the Tri-State during summertime. If the location where these events take place don't have public restrooms Johnny on the Spot is there to provide the porta pottyour customers need to meet their sanitation needs.

SPORTING EVENTS

Both indoor and outdoor sporting events will be taking place throughout the summer.

For sporting events that take place for a majority of the summer or even year-round, porta potty rentals can provide the sanitation services when and where public restrooms aren't available.

CARNIVALS, FAIRS, FESTIVALS, AND MORE

Summer is the perfect time for festivals and fairs to take place all around the Tri-State.

It's FRIDAY!!!

We can't be ALL business ALL the time, so we here at the JOTSandSOTS.com Blog thought we'd take this time to poke a little fun at the portable toilet industry and recognize some hilarious portable toilet slogans we've heard over the years. We've attended a number of portable toilet and septic hauling conventions, trade shows, and expositions around the United States. At these events we've talked with a ton of folks in the business and heard a lot of really fun slogans. Here is a list of the 13 we thought were the most memorable:

1. Number one in the number two business
2. Yesterdays' meals on wheels
3. Where your feces matters
4. You dump we pump
5. Smells like money
6. We haul milk on the weekends
7. Caution: Hauling political promises
8. Our business stinks but it's picking up
9. No job's complete until the paperwork is done
10. Satisfaction guaranteed or we'll return for free
11. Our duty is your doody
12. You float ‘em we'll tote ‘em
13. Your waste is a terrible thing to mind
