Parks officials proposed eliminating all portable toilets to save $150,000 per year. But many residents complained the proposal is unsafe and unsanitary, reported the Examiner.
Montgomery County managed to trim $60,000 from its contract with Don's Johns by teaming with Prince George’s County to get lower prices for both counties. Don’s Johns is the region’s largest portable toilet provider.
