Portable toilet spills down street near school as students leave for day

Human waste and sanitation fluid ran down a residential street near a school as children were let out for the day on Monday.

A worker emptying portable toilets in Alton Playground in Pittsburgh’s Beechview neighborhood spilled at least some of the contents in the park’s parking lot, which drained down onto Alton Street, right next to Beechwood Elementary School.

"The truck just leaked all the way down almost to the street and it just stunk so bad that when the kids were up here. We had to have them walk all the way down to get into the school because it smelled so bad," said daycare provider Laurie Brun.

Parents were furious as they guided children leaving school around the waste, which created a strong stench that could be smelled blocks away.

The portable toilet company sent another truck to help clean up and the city sent a Department of Public Works truck as well.
