- 1). Remove all bags and thoroughly clean waste from the toilet. Because each portable toilet is designed differently, follow the manufacturer's guidelines to do this. Spray the toilet with a household disinfectant or bleach mixture to make sure the bowl is sanitized; cover the inside and outside surfaces, letting it soak for about 10 minutes. Scrub the toilet with a sponge or bowl brush. Wipe it dry.
- 2). Dial 2-1-1 on your phone. United Way's 2-1-1 is a free telephone service that connects callers to services available in their community, including places that accept donations.
- 3). Bring the toilet to the donation center or organization of your choice. Goodwill--a nonprofit thrift store with more than 2,400 donation locations in the United States and Canada--asks that donors do not leave items unattended outside a collection center. Instead, place the item in a designated donation area or bin.
