 a stand alone bench;    a toilet carried by the bench;    wherein the bench includes a load bearing frame and a plastic housing.    
   
   
       8 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 7 , wherein the load bearing frame integrally includes a pair of support handles.  
   
   
       9 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 8 , wherein the pair of support handles are oriented generally horizontal and positioned above an upper surface of the housing.  
   
   
       10 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 7 , wherein the frame is constructed of tubular steel.  
   
   
       11 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 7 , wherein the frame is constructed of a closed loop of a tubular material.  
   
   
       12 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 7 , wherein the frame includes a plurality of discrete tubular components connected to one another.  
   
   
       13 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of discrete tubular components includes four or less components.  
   
   
       14 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of discrete tubular components includes no more than two distinct tubular components.  
   
   
       15 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 12 , wherein the frame includes at least one lower component defining at least two foot portions.  
   
   
       16 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 15 , wherein the frame includes a pair of handles removable connected to the at least one lower component.  
   
   
       17 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 12 , wherein the frame includes at least one lower component including a pair of upwardly extending segments and further comprising a brace member interconnecting the upwardly extending segments.  
   
   
       18 . A self-contained sanitary system, the system comprising: 
 a stand alone bench carrying a toilet, the bench defining a storage chamber; and    a holding tank removably associated with the toilet when positioned in the storage chamber;    wherein the bench includes a load bearing frame and a plastic housing.    
   
   
       19 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 18 , wherein the frame is constructed of tubular steel.  
   
   
       20 . The self-contained sanitary system of  claim 16 , wherein the frame is constructed of a closed loop of a tubular material.
