Problem: Jim Garris and Kenton Brubacher of J & K Septic Service in northern Indiana landed the portable restroom service contract for the Nappanee Apple Festival. Festival organizers stipulated that restrooms and hand-wash stations needed to be lighted for nighttime users.
Solution: Garris and Brubacher chose to install LunarGlo solar lighting as a standard feature on 50 percent of their restroom units. The lights have long-life batteries, making units easier to clean at night.
Result: The lights worked so well that J & K now offers lighted restrooms on all portable units and hand-wash stations. The business has grown to a point where they now enjoy over 65 percent rental activity daily. They were recently awarded a contract for the Elkhart, Indiana, Jazz Festival mainly because they offered lighted units. 574/294-2624; www.lunarglo.com.
