Septic tanks and drainage in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is mostly sewered, but older homes in Walmer, outlying areas such as Theescombe and Sunridge, and the farms and smallholdings toward Seaview and Colchester still rely on septic and conservancy tanks. Sandy soils near the coast drain quickly, which suits soakaways, but a shallow water table near the Swartkops River and in low-lying areas can flood them. The city is dry, which helps, though it can have a few intense wet spells. Industrial sites in Struandale and Deal Party use grease traps and conservancy tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Gqeberha and Kariega, and the municipal works takes loads at approved points.

Typical portable toilet hire requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a unit or two for a renovation or a garden party at an off-sewer house
- Smallholdings and plots: extra toilets for a wedding, market day or build on a smallholding
- Factories, mines, sites and events: serviced units for a construction camp, plant shutdown or mine site
- Restaurants, shops and offices: units for a shop fit-out, pop-up market or outdoor trade show

- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: VIP units for weddings and conferences that exceed the lodge's own toilets
- Estates and complexes: units for contractors working inside the estate during building or repairs
- Schools, churches and clinics: temporary toilets for a school sports day or church conference
