Porta potty companies are working to keep up with demand as the United States loosens Covid-19 restrictions.
That has porta potty suppliers and manufacturers scrambling to make sure that they have enough toilets to go around.
Troiano Waste Services, a family-owned liquid and solid waste company based in Portland, Maine, ordered 100 new portable toilets in March to add to its fleet of between 1,500 and 2,000 porta potties. The company's hoping they'll be ready to ship next week.
"It was definitely a longer lead time than we've ever seen before," Troiano told CNN.
