Do porta potties work in cold weather?

Yes, porta potties work in cold weather but require winter preparation. Service companies add antifreeze solution to prevent the holding tank from freezing and use cold-weather chemical formulations. In extreme cold (below 20°F), the hand sanitizer may gel and the toilet seat will be cold. Some rental companies offer heated units or insulated winterized models for extended cold-weather use. If you're renting during winter, confirm your provider uses winter-rated chemicals and ask about their cold-weather service protocols.
