Why invest in a portable toilet rental business?

10/20/2025

Healthcare in cities and on the streets is not an option, it is a necessity. 
According to ONU  figures, one of the main causes of disease is the lack of proper management of human solid waste. Portable toilets are one of the best solutions to address these problems, especially in areas with large concentrations of people. In situations like these, where installing permanent toilets is difficult due to the nature of the population density, portable toilets become a viable and effective option.

In large cities like Mexico City, the lack of sanitary facilities in public spaces represents a significant opportunity for the portable toilet business. Examples where the need is evident include bus stops, taxi stands, street markets, passenger transport routes, public parks, and places of worship, among others. While the construction industry is one of the largest sectors demanding this service, it is not the only one. Mass events also present an opportunity, although the frequency of these events can vary and should not be the sole basis for the business's success.

How to start a portable toilet business? 
The first step is to seek advice from someone with experience in the sector, who understands local regulations and market needs. It's important to evaluate all available options. There are various sources of financing, and you don't necessarily have to start with 100% of your own capital. Seeking partners is a smart option, as it helps distribute risk. While you may have to share profits, this strategy will allow you to reduce many of the problems associated with initial investment.
