    Abstract: A portable urinal includes a base, a housing surrounding the base and a waste material receptacle in said housing. The housing is formed of a pair of molded one-piece portions, the forward of the two portions including a urine receiving basin which is connected to the receptacle. To facilitate movement of the urinal, a pair of wheels is provided on the base and handles are positioned on the housing. Also, a cable-like member is secured to the base and extends over the housing to provide means for picking up the unit by crane or the like. A trailer hitch is connected to at least one end of the base so that the urinal or a group of urinals may be towed. A degree of privacy is obtained by means of forwardly extending side members formed by the two one-piece housing portions. Finally a curtain may be provided around the front of the urinal, and chemicals can be pumped or poured into the receptacle.
