Buy Used Toilet Containers
Toilet container and WC container refer to the same product: a mobile sanitary room with WCs and washbasins. Anyone looking for a used toilet container will find the right solution in our stock, directly from the manufacturer. Our toilet containers come from the ELA rental fleet and are prepared for connection to water, wastewater and electricity.
As our stock consists of various years of manufacture and series, size, number of cubicles and equipment differ from model to model. The WC areas are often separated for women and men, with the 20-foot version being common. Our specialist advisors are happy to match the toilet containers currently available and suitable for your needs with the stock.
Equipment and Technical Condition
Our containers are designed for mobile use and generally feature:
- several WC cubicles depending on the configuration
- washbasins and basic sanitary equipment
- connections for water, wastewater and electricity
- integrated electrical installation (e.g. lighting)
As our stock consists of various years of manufacture and series, the equipment is not the same for every container. We check individually which features a specific module has and note this in the respective offer. Feel free to ask us about condition, equipment or optional accessories.
Versatile Areas of Application
- Construction sites: additional WC and washing capacity directly at the site.
- Events: hygiene infrastructure for increased visitor numbers.
- Municipalities and public institutions: interim solution during renovations of schools or kindergartens.
- Associations and sports grounds: extension of changing and washing facilities.
- Agriculture and industry: additional sanitary capacity for seasonal workers or on company premises.

FAQ
What condition are the used WC containers in?
The containers were previously in use in our rental fleet and show corresponding signs of use. They are technically functional. Before delivery, we inspect all sanitary and electrical systems.
What does a used WC container cost?
Used WC containers from ELA currently range between approximately €2,900 and €4,000 net, depending on size, width and equipment. More extensively equipped sanitary containers with additional showers may be priced higher, at around €5,000. All prices are exclusive of VAT and plus delivery costs; the specific individual offer is always binding. Every container is handed over after basic cleaning, and a DGUV inspection is carried out as part of the purchase.
Which connections do I need on site?
For operation, you will need a solid surface, a power connection (usually 400/230 V, CEE 32 A), a water supply and a wastewater connection. In many models, the water connection is located on the end wall; use as a drinking water system is generally not intended. Please refer to the respective offer for the exact connection specifications.
What do I do if there is no sewer connection available?
If direct discharge into the sewage network is not possible on site, we offer suitable wastewater tanks. These are placed underneath the container and collect the wastewater for later disposal. Please mention this when making your inquiry.
Are the WC containers heated or insulated?
This depends on the specific model. As our stock consists of various years of manufacture and series, not every container is equipped the same. Please refer to the specific offer to find out whether a container is insulated or heatable, or contact us to ask.
Can I view the container before purchase?
An on-site viewing is generally not possible. In the shop, you will find detailed product information as well as images for the respective container. If you have any questions about the condition or equipment, you can contact us at any time.
How quickly can the container be delivered?
As these are containers from stock, we can generally deliver at short notice. We will agree the exact date with you when you make your inquiry.
