When the Tri City Chargers youth football league asked Coleen Flood-Geary — owner of Floods Royal Flush portable sanitation company in Aurora, Illinois — if she would provide portable restrooms for an annual daylong football camp, she went above and beyond their request. The event is for students from Giant Steps, a school for individuals with autism. 

“I said, we’ll have a unit made with your logo on the front of it, with the autism symbol,” Flood-Geary says. She had the decal made by Widaman Sign, which does the signage for all their trucks and equipment. The multicolored puzzle piece logo goes the full length of the Satellite Industries Tufway door and includes the Giant Steps logo as well.

Then another autism fundraiser found out about it. 

“The guy who runs the Teamsters 731 Union has a daughter with autism, and they do a huge golf outing with all the garbage companies in the summer,” Flood-Geary says. Her father, William Flood, owns a trash company in the area, and her brother Bill, who works there, asked if she could have 10 more decaled units made for the golf event. 

It was expensive to do, Flood-Geary says. She donated the unit for the football league and her father’s company, Flood Brothers Disposal, paid for the other 10 for the golf event. 

Another special request came from a bride’s mother who wanted an interesting way to designate the men’s and women’s portable restrooms used at her daughter’s wedding. She thought blown-up photos of the bride and groom would do the trick.

“It was a sticker that went on the door,” Flood-Geary says. “The mom emailed the pictures to us and we had them printed. They were excited about it.”

Pleasing customers has been the goal of the company since its inception in 2016, Flood-Geary says. “If somebody asks if we can do something, we’ll figure out a way to do it.”
