Porcelain fixtures, marine-grade construction, four-season climate control, hot and cold running water, and a fully self-contained water and waste system bring the comfort and functionality of a permanent bathroom to a portable restroom.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CALLAHEAD™, the New York-born portable sanitation company serving customers throughout the New York metropolitan area since 1976, has introduced the WHITE WASH™ Restroom, a fully self-contained, climate-controlled portable restroom designed to redefine expectations for portable sanitation.
Developed by Charles W. Howard, President and CEO of CALLAHEAD™, the WHITE WASH™ represents what Howard describes as a “50 years in the making” evolution of portable restroom design. The unit combines porcelain bathroom fixtures, marine-grade construction, full insulation, year-round heating and air conditioning, hot and cold running water, and independent fresh- and waste-water systems in a portable structure designed to deliver the comfort, appearance, and functionality of a permanent restroom.
Manufactured exclusively by CALLAHEAD™, the WHITE WASH™ is available for both long-term and short-term rental throughout CALLAHEAD’s New York service territory.
A Vision Five Decades in the Making
At the heart of the WHITE WASH™ is the experience of Charles W. Howard, whose career in portable sanitation innovation began in 1976.
Over five decades, Howard has developed and manufactured original concepts intended to move portable sanitation beyond basic functionality and toward a higher standard of comfort, cleanliness, durability, appearance, and homestyle design.
Howard wrote a quote that reflects the guiding principle of his career:
“The Study of the Past Creates the Magic of the Future.”
That philosophy is reflected in the WHITE WASH™—a product that draws upon decades of field experience while incorporating modern materials, systems, and design.
“The idea was never simply to build another portable toilet,” said Howard. “We wanted to create a restroom that people would actually feel comfortable using—a restroom that could stand up to the demands of a construction site while providing the appearance, comfort and functionality people expect from a permanent bathroom.”
The result is a portable restroom designed to eliminate much of the distinction between a temporary facility and a permanent bathroom.
A Portable Restroom Designed to Feel Like a Permanent Bathroom
The WHITE WASH™ begins with a fundamental difference: the interior is designed around actual bathroom fixtures rather than conventional portable-toilet components.
The restroom features:
- A porcelain foot-pedal flush toilet
- A porcelain vanity sink
- White vanity cabinetry
- A Moen automatic shut-off faucet
- Genuine hot and cold running water
- A dedicated hot-water heater
- A large vanity mirror
- Stainless-steel soap and paper-towel dispensers
- CALLAHEAD™ AIR WAVE™ automatic hand dryer
- Bright LED lighting
- Non-slip flooring
- Interior locking privacy
- A keyed exterior door
The combination is intended to create an environment that feels familiar, comfortable, and substantially different from the traditional portable toilet.
The objective is straightforward: when a user walks into a WHITE WASH™, the experience should feel like entering a real bathroom—not a temporary substitute for one.
Marine-Grade Construction for Demanding Conditions
The WHITE WASH™ is engineered for the realities of outdoor and long-term portable sanitation.
Its exterior utilizes marine-grade materials, stainless-steel hardware, and aluminum corner and base moldings. The clean white exterior is complemented by aluminum accents and stainless-steel CALLAHEAD™ signage.
The materials and construction are intended to withstand demanding environments, including:
- Heavy-duty construction sites
- Moisture and exposure to the elements
- Salt-air environments
- Seasonal temperature changes
- Heavy daily use
- Long-term outdoor placement
The result is a structure designed to combine durability with a sophisticated architectural appearance.
That makes the WHITE WASH™ appropriate for demanding construction environments as well as locations where appearance is equally important.
Four-Season Climate Control
One of the WHITE WASH™’s defining characteristics is its year-round climate control.
The restroom is fully insulated and equipped with:
- A fan-forced wall heater for cold-weather operation
- An overhead air-conditioning system for summer conditions
- A wall-mounted thermostat for climate control
The system is designed to maintain a comfortable interior environment throughout New York’s seasonal extremes.
For customers requiring portable sanitation during the winter months, the insulated construction and heating system are designed to help maintain a warm, functional restroom in cold conditions. During periods of extreme summer heat, the air-conditioning system provides a controlled and comfortable interior environment.
The result is a portable restroom designed to provide an indoor-like experience throughout the year.
A Fully Self-Contained Water and Waste System
Behind the WHITE WASH™’s appearance is a carefully engineered self-contained system.
Separate fresh-water and waste-water tanks serve the restroom’s sink and toilet. Two on-demand water pumps are utilized, with one dedicated to each fixture.
A dedicated hot-water heater provides genuine hot and cold running water at the sink.
The system is designed to provide the functionality of a restroom connected to a domestic water and sewer system while remaining completely portable.
Exterior inspection and service hatches allow CALLAHEAD™ technicians to access the system for water service and waste servicing without requiring the restroom to be moved or interrupting normal use.
The design reflects decades of practical experience in portable sanitation and an emphasis on reliability, serviceability, and user comfort.
Built for Construction Sites, Events and High-Visibility Locations
The WHITE WASH™ was designed for customers who want the comfort, appearance, and functionality of a high-quality home-style bathroom in a portable format.
Construction and Long-Term Projects
For contractors and construction managers, the WHITE WASH™ provides a substantially upgraded restroom environment for crews, supervisors, clients, and visitors.
Its combination of insulated construction, climate control, porcelain fixtures, running water, privacy features, and self-contained water and waste systems makes it particularly suited to long-term projects where portable facilities may be in continuous use for months or longer.
Events and High-Visibility Locations
For event planners, commercial property owners, facility managers, and private customers, the WHITE WASH™ provides a premium restroom experience without requiring permanent construction.
Its applications include:
- Weddings, parties, and private events
- Corporate functions and VIP areas
- Country clubs
- Beach clubs
- Golf courses
- Sports facilities
- Concert venues
- Residential properties
- Marinas
- Restaurants, bars, and nightclubs
- Film and television productions
- Commercial and industrial properties
- Government buildings
- Corporate facilities
- Bathroom renovations
- Construction and contracting projects
- Other short- and long-term locations
Although portable, the WHITE WASH™ is designed to provide the appearance, comfort, and functionality associated with a permanent restroom.
CALLAHEAD™ has deliberately chosen to focus its operations in New York.
The WHITE WASH™ is available throughout:
New York City’s five boroughs
Brooklyn • Queens • Manhattan • The Bronx • Staten Island
as well as:
Westchester County • Nassau County • Suffolk County all the way to Montauk Point
By operating exclusively in New York, CALLAHEAD™ can closely manage its equipment, technicians, delivery, maintenance, and customer service.
As Howard explains and has quoted:
“Products Push Out, Service Springs Back.”
The principle reflects a fundamental belief that portable sanitation is not simply an equipment business. A restroom can only perform as well as the company responsible for delivering, maintaining, cleaning, and servicing it.
CALLAHEAD™ therefore keeps its focus deliberately centered on its New York service territory
Professional Delivery and Service
Each WHITE WASH™ is delivered by a uniformed CALLAHEAD™ technician.
The restroom is cleaned, sanitized, and stocked with necessary supplies before being placed into service.
For long-term rentals, CALLAHEAD™ technicians provide ongoing service, including cleaning and sanitizing with hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants and replenishment of supplies as required.
This combination of specialized equipment and professional service is central to CALLAHEAD™’s approach.
The company believes that providing a premium restroom requires more than manufacturing a premium unit – it requires maintaining that restroom throughout its rental.
Charles W. Howard: Five Decades of Portable Sanitation Innovation
The WHITE WASH™ represents the latest chapter in Charles W. Howard’s continuing effort to advance portable sanitation.
Since entering the industry in 1976, Howard has developed numerous original concepts and systems intended to expand what portable sanitation equipment can accomplish.
Among his significant developments is the Portable Water and Sewer System, which he invented in 1984.
That innovation established a foundation for Howard’s continuing work in developing portable water, sewer, and restroom systems designed to provide functionality more closely associated with permanent facilities.
Today, through CALLAHEAD™, Howard continues to design, develop, engineer, and manufacture specialized portable sanitation equipment.
The WHITE WASH™ is a direct expression of that philosophy: take the comfort and functionality people expect from a permanent bathroom and engineer it into a portable system.
The Highest Standard for Portable Sanitation
Portable sanitation has traditionally been associated with basic necessity.
CALLAHEAD™ has spent five decades challenging that definition.
The WHITE WASH™ combines:
Porcelain fixtures.
Hot and cold running water.
A porcelain vanity sink.
A porcelain flush toilet.
Four-season climate control.
Full insulation.
Marine-grade construction.
Self-contained water and waste systems.
Professional cleaning and servicing.
Together, these features represent a different approach to what a portable restroom can be.
The WHITE WASH™ is not simply designed to provide a place to use the restroom. It is designed to provide a restroom experience.
For CALLAHEAD™, that distinction is the point.
