Port Edwards is distributing free low-flush toilets that have sat unused in the district office basement for about 20 years, according to the latest update from the community.
The initiative centers on unneeded fixtures that were purchased in 2003 and have remained in packaging. District staff say the toilets have not been installed or used since their purchase, and the town has decided to move them out of storage by offering them to residents at no cost.
The district’s decision comes with no attached conditions stated in the available information. Officials described the toilets as low-flush models and emphasized the items are being provided free of charge to eligible recipients.
Photos accompanying the description show rows of boxed toilets stacked near a building, with packaging intact. The images underscore the age of the fixtures and their long period of storage before the giveaway.
Details about eligibility, pickup logistics, or quantity limits were not included in the provided material. No information was provided on whether the toilets pass any quality checks or safety standards before distribution, nor whether replacements or warranties accompany the handout.
As of now, the district’s plan appears to be a straightforward disposal-through-donation: clear out the basement inventory by offering unused fixtures to the public, without charges. Residents interested in obtaining one would likely need to contact the district office for further instructions, though the exact process and dates remain unspecified in the available content.
