The Occupy Wall Street demonstrators installed a set of portable toilets near their Lower Manhattan encampment on Friday after residents complained about protesters urinating and defecating in the streets.  The bathrooms will be accessible 24 hours-a-day, with a trained security guard on site, according to Han Shan, a spokesman for the protesters.

“This should be a great help to occupiers who until now, due partly to the city’s refusal to grant permits allowing portable toilets in public spaces near the park, have had no overnight access to toilets,” Shan said in an e-mail.

“Of course, lack of access to sanitation facilities has been a problem for the neighbourhood for a long time before the occupation began, as millions of visitors to the 9/11 Memorial puts a great strain on local businesses’ bathrooms, and the surrounding neighbourhood.”

It was not immediately clear how much the facilities cost, but Shan said the toilets and security were provided by an anonymous donor.
