This weekend Portable Restroom Trailers will be supplying restrooms for the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority international conference. The conference, also known as the Boule, is being held this year at the Charlotte Convention Center.Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is a national corporation that contains thousands of college-trained women from over four hundred higher education institutions. It was founded in 1908 at Howard University.The 66th Boule, held July 12th-18th, will bring together over 12,000 people from the AKA community. The event will include a networking career fair, the second biennial golf classic, and a big dinner on the 17th.For the conference, Alpha Kappa Alpha needed additional restroom facilities to support their events such as the golf classic. From our selection of portable restroom rentals we were able to provide them with a Comfort Elite 3 Beach package trailer. For a sorority event we naturally wanted to make sure there were 2 women’s restroom suites and 1 men’s restroom.To match the classy tone of the AKA Boule, we made sure the restroom trailer had a luxurious interior. With 4 foot tall vanity mirrors and granite style countertops it is sure to impress every guest. Even visitors not used to Charlotte’s summer heat will be comfortable with the extra-large air conditioner.For older guests, the portable restroom is a low profile unit. This means it is built to be low to the ground with short steps into the bathroom. The full landing and double handrails make it easy to get into. For added safety, the outside has LED lights to make the restroom trailer accessible even at night.We hope Alpha Kappa Alpha’s biennial convention goes off beautifully next week. I’m sure the local sorority chapters will show their visiting sorority members a fantastic time in the city of Charlotte.
Lake Geneva is a beautiful and serene lake located in south Wisconsin, less than ten miles from Illinois. There was a devastating fire at Lake Geneva that destroyed a permanent restroom facility. Rebuilding was not a possible solution at the time. To move forward, the community of Lake Geneva needed a quick and quality solution that could serve as a long term facility. Based on these ramifications the best option was to buy a restroom trailer from Portable Restroom Trailers!Not only will the trailer be used as a long term facility for everyone at the lake, it is also being repurposed to serve as a facility for kids camps. Lake Geneva Youth Camp offers camps for all ages throughout the summer. In just the month of July there are many week-long camp options. From July 2nd-5th there is a camp called Escape on the Lake. This camp is a music based family camp for all ages. There are traditional outdoor activities as well as music performances and workshops for musicians. July 6th-12th is the Jr. Boys camp for boys in grade 3-6. This week camp is full of fun sports, activities, and games that the boys will love. The following week, July 13th-16th, is the Jr. High Coed camp for grades 6-9. This week will be full of competitions, activities, games and making new friends. There are even day camps every week for the kids who want to sleep in their own bed.The trailer that is going to the conference center this week is a 6 unit shower combo that was lightly used by the Championship Americus Racing team last year. The restroom trailer will have 6 toilets, as well as showers! This is perfect for a lake or beach setting. It provides swimmers with a clean, comfortable, and private place to rinse off after a long and beautiful day at the lake. It is also perfect for camps because kids need a clean and private facility that will be comfortable for them when they are away from home. Additionally, this trailer can handle up to one hundred and twenty five guests, so plenty of space will not be a problem with this portable restroom.At Portable Restroom Trailers we hope that the community of Lake Geneva can overcome this tragedy and continue to provide kids and adults with a fun and safe place to be.
Because our trailers are so much more upscale than traditional portable restrooms, it can be easy to forget how rugged and durable they are. All of our units are built to stand up to high traffic and be easily maintained in rough conditions.An excellent example of this is the portable restroom we recently sent to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas. It is an endangered species research and conversation center that offers guided and self-guided tours to thousands of guests every year. Last weekend marked their 30th year of conservation![caption id="attachment_9802" align="alignright" width="140"] Oryx - Sabre Antelope at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center[/caption]Fossil Rim Wildlife Center’s 1,700 acres of facilities and wildlife, including a 9.5 mile driving tour gave it unique restroom facility needs. Luckily, with a wide variety of trailer options, we were able to find a used restroom trailer that fit their needs without costing them too much money.One of the biggest concerns with the wildlife center was that it was outside in Texas and it was in the wild. That meant high summer temperatures and guests tracking in lots of dirt. The 9-unit restroom trailer we provided them is fully climate controlled with air conditioning. It also has a special “hose out” interior. This means it can be completely cleaned with a hose without getting damaged and still look great. Having an easy way to keep their restrooms clean no matter how many guests they have will be a huge help to the wildlife center staff.Another aspect we looked at was the kind of guests the wildlife center would be catering to. On any given day Fossil Rim could see a wide variety of visitors but one thing was sure, it would see plenty of families. To make sure the families have everything they need, both the men and women’s restrooms have baby changing stations. Keeping their little ones clean and well-cared for during a full day at Fossil Rim is a huge plus for visiting families.To make the restroom trailer even more customizable, Fossil Rim has the ability to change it based on who is coming to the park that day. Their 9-toilet portable restroom is convertible! The staff can easily close doors to choose how many of the 9-units will be on the men’s side and how many will be on the women’s side. No matter what kind of groups visit the wildlife center each day, they will be fully prepared to handle it.Portable Restroom Trailers sees its wide variety of specialized trailers as a huge benefit to our customers. No matter what your specific needs are, we can find a restroom trailer to fit those needs. If our enormous inventory of new and used trailers can’t provide what you’re looking for, we can work with you to custom build something that does.Wishing the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center another 30 successful years!
