FRESNO (KMJ) – Updating the progress of the porta-potty program in San Francisco and how the city is going to great lengths to keep the streets clean.
San Francisco launched its portable toilet program five years ago after children in a homeless-heavy neighborhood complained of dodging human waste on sidewalks on their way to school.
the “Pit Stop” program has now grown to 25 locations within the city and spread to Los Angeles.
Pit Stop toilets are staffed by paid attendants, usually men who are coming out of prison after decades behind bars.
the city also has a so-called “poop patrol” team, where each cleaner earns more than $70,000 a year.
