RALEIGH, N.C. (UPI) -- Members of North Carolina's portable toilet
industry are touting new laws that impose misdemeanor charges on
portable toilet vandals.
Officials welcomed the measure, which takes effect Dec. 1 and will
mean judge-set fines of jail sentences of up to 120 days for anyone
who "steals … destroys, defaces or vandalizes" a portable toilet,
the Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer reported.
Carey Mack, operations manager for Readilite & Barricade Inc., which
operates about 4,000 portable toilets, welcomed the new law. He said
about 200 of his company's toilets are targeted each month by vandals
who set them on fire, tip them on their sides or cover them in spray
paint.
He said replacing a stall can cost $500 to $750 and a handicapped
stall can run the company $2,000.
"I've been doing this for 18 years and I've been scratching my head
for 18 years wondering why they're doing it," Mack said of the
vandals.
