At first glance, buying new equipment seems like the safe choice. But many operators discover that new units come with hidden costs that slow down their return on investment. 

The High Price of “New” 

New portable toilets can cost significantly more than used. That means: 

• Higher startup capital needed 

• Longer payback period 

• Lower flexibility in scaling quickly 

Why Used Makes Better Business Sense 

By purchasing through Crapper King — America’s largest reseller of used portable toilets — you: 

• Save thousands upfront 

• Expand faster without draining cash reserves 

• Still get reliable, field-ready equipment 

Real-World Impact 

Customers who buy used often achieve profitability months sooner than those who buy new. That difference can be the key to surviving in the competitive portable restroom industry.
