         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion couples together all of the skid base, the skid runner, and the skid runner cover. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion includes a first fastener and a second fastener;
 wherein the skid base includes a coupling portion receiving region configured to receive the first fastener;   wherein the second fastener includes at least a first coupling portion to engage the first fastener.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the first coupling portion is formed of a first material that is harder than a second material that forms the skid base. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a container that defines an internal volume;   wherein the skid base includes a receiving portion;   wherein the receiving portion is configured to engage and hold the container.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the container has a snap fit with the skid base in the receiving portion. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a portable toilet assembled to the modular skid assembly.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the portable toil assembly includes at least a wall and a door configured to be coupled to the skid base of the modular skid assembly. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the foot includes a plurality of feet;
 wherein the ground engaging portion includes the plurality of feet coupled to the skid base;   wherein the plurality of feet are coupled to the skid base configured to allow passage of a first fork and a second fork.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the skid runner includes a depression configured as a shock absorption region of the skid runner and to receive a retention member. 
     
     
         14 . A modular system having a modular skid assembly for a portable toilet, comprising:
 a skid base having a first side and an opposed second side and a coupling region defined by the skid base near the second side;   at least one wall extending away from the first side;   a ground engaging portion configured to be coupled to the second side including at least one of:
 a skid runner assembly, or 
 a foot; and 
   a coupling member configured to extend through the at least one of the skid runner assembly or the foot and engage the skid base at the coupling region;   wherein the coupling member is configured to couple together all of the skid base and the ground engaging portion.   
     
     
         15 . The modular system of  claim 14 , wherein the skid runner assembly includes a skid runner and a skid runner cover. 
     
     
         16 . The modular system of  claim 15 , wherein the skid base includes a plurality of skid bases;
 wherein the skid runner includes a plurality of skid runners;   wherein the skid runner cover includes a plurality of skid runner covers;   wherein the foot includes a plurality of feet;   wherein a single one of the plurality of skid bases, the plurality of skid runners, the plurality of skid runner covers, or the plurality of feet is configured to next with another one of the plurality of skid bases, the plurality of skid runners, the plurality of skid runner covers, or the plurality of feet.   
     
     
         17 . The modular system of  claim 14 , wherein each of the ground engaging portion is configured to be removably attached to the skid base. 
     
     
         18 . A method for a modular system having a modular skid assembly for a portable toilet, the method comprising:
 providing a skid base having a first side and an opposed second side and a coupling region defined by the skid base near the second side;   providing a ground engaging portion configured to be coupled to the second side including at least one of a skid runner assembly or a foot; and   providing a coupling member configured to extend through the at least one of the skid runner assembly or the foot and engage the skid base at the coupling region; and   providing the ground engaging portion with a passage such that the provided coupling portion is operable to couple together all of the skid base and the ground engaging portion.
