Portable toilet waste is generally produced by vehicles. This includes domestic and international passenger aircraft, boats, trains, caravans, campervans, buses, and portaloos. This type of waste is significantly stronger and thicker than ordinary sewage and often contains various treatment chemicals used for stabilisation.
Due to its unique characteristics, portable toilet waste is not classified as ordinary sewage. This means it has special conditions for acceptance, treatment, and disposal into Rotorua's sewerage system.
