In the aftermath of the recent Carnival celebrations in Brazil, approximately 20 portable toilets remain in Ibirapuera Park, located in the southern part of São Paulo, four days post-event. This situation was highlighted by TV Globo on Thursday, indicating ongoing issues with public sanitation facilities after the festivities. The presence of these facilities has drawn attention to the aftermath of a series of concerts and block parties featuring popular artists such as Ivete Sangalo, Pedro Sampaio, and Pabllo Vittar.

This year, the city of São Paulo made a notable cut in the procurement of portable toilets, reducing the number from 24,000 to 16,000 daily rentals. Public reactions suggest that this reduction has led to significant inconveniences during the Carnival celebrations, with attendees reporting long lines and unsatisfactory conditions at many of the facilities. The diminished availability has raised questions regarding the city's commitment to providing adequate sanitation during large public events, a concern highlighted by the experiences of festival-goers.

In response to these issues, São Paulo Turismo (SPTuris) assured that efforts are being made to remove the remaining toilets and other temporary structures from the park. The agency has indicated that the service is being monitored daily, although the backlog of waste and litter suggests challenges in managing the aftermath of such a large-scale event. The situation exemplifies the logistical difficulties faced by municipalities in handling public facilities in the wake of major cultural celebrations, emphasizing the need for careful planning and resource allocation for future events.
