Smelly Outdoor Restrooms Drove This Local Vendor To Change The Industry

one of our luxury restroom trailers on-site

Often we get asked how we got into the luxury restroom trailers business. Well, they say that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, and that was certainly true in our case. Back in 2011 when I was planning my outdoor wedding and checking into outdoor restroom options, I found there weren’t really options beyond smelly construction Porta- the founders of Luxury Restroom Trailers Potties. When the wedding was over, we resolved to change that.

We knew that weddings weren’t the only events that deserved better sanitation options; and, in the years since we founded Luxury Restroom Trailers, we’ve brought a new level of cleanliness, comfort, and service to outdoor restrooms for corporate events, movie shoots, store remodels, and farm-to-table dinners.
