A portable toilet apparatus includes a seat elevating structure; an annular seat structure having an open middle and resting on the seat elevating structure, and including a sack securing mechanism; and a waste collection sack having a closed sack lower end and an open sack upper end removably secured to the annular seat structure with a waste collection sack engagement structure. The seat elevating structure preferably includes an annular bellows having a tubular accordion outer bellows side wall and a tubular accordion inner bellows side wall spaced inwardly from the outer bellows side wall, and an annular upper bellows wall and annular lower bellows wall integrally joined to the inner and outer bellows side walls to define an annular bellows interior space for releasibly trapping air, the upper bellows wall being sized to fit and fitting within the annular seat structure and providing a yielding, resilient cushion effect when the annular seat structure is sat upon. The annular bellows preferably has an expanded mode and has one or more compressed modes, and is molded from resilient material in its expanded mode, so that the resilience of the resilient material biases the bellows to return to its expanded mode after the annular bellows is compressed, the annular bellows additionally including a valve port and a bellows air valve sealingly fitted into the valve port.
