DESIGNED BY THE CITY, FOR THE CITY
Portland’s famous stand-alone bathroom, The Portland Loo®, was developed by Madden Fabrication in conjunction with the City of Portland. Free and accessible around the clock, The Portland Loo® is designed specifically to prevent problems that are commonly experienced with public toilets. The sleek and modern kiosk discourages crime with graffiti-proof wall panels and open grating. And, they’re easy to clean, with commonly used components that are easy to replace or upgrade. First installed over 10 years ago, The Portland Loo® has proven to be a durable and inexpensive solution to keep your city clean and crime-free.
THE PROOF IS IN THE POTTY
Prevents Crime
The sleek and modern kiosk discourages crime with graffiti-proof wall panels and open grating that allows you to see if and how many people are inside.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
The coating on the steel wall panels makes it simple to clean with a hose, and all plumbing and building components are common and easy to replace or upgrade.
Inexpensive to Install and Run
It can be delivered on site as a complete enclosure, and requires minimal utilities that can operate on solar power or low level volt power.

“A team of three public restroom specialists visit the Phlushes regularly and, along with cleaning and unclogging the toilets daily (yes, daily), they also speak with people who use the bathrooms. In the course of those conversations, they’ve referred 243 people to resources for shelter, treatment, food, and clothing, and they’ve handed out 120 doses of naloxone, according to the spokesperson. These city workers aren’t just restroom specialists, they’re people specialists too, making a valuable difference in the lives of those they encounter.”
