If you've never used one, you are lucky.

...

"[Portable toilets] are held upright by the weight of the deodorant liquid in the holding tank at the bottom but are usually secured to the ground to prevent high winds blowing them over ... Most include lockable doors, ventilation near the top, and a stovepipe vent for the holding tank. Leaving the toilet lid open will reverse the flow of the venting of the tank."

"They are ... drained, cleaned, disinfected and deodorized on a regular basis. As they are not plumbed, they do not clog ... An average portable toilet is able to hold enough sewage for 10 people during the course of a 40 hour work week before the hold reaches unsanitary conditions."
