How Many Portable Toilets Do You Need to Rent?

For most people, the portable toilet is a part of big events or outdoor places, like national parks. In these contexts, it makes sense to have portable toilets as the event isn't permanent, so permanent restroom structures aren't called for. These aren't the only places where portable toilets can come in handy, however. It isn't uncommon for smaller events to also need portable facilities. Even a particularly large house party can benefit from an extra toilet or two. Basically, if you are planning an event where there will not be access to indoor facilities, or if the number of indoor facilities is too small for your estimated attendance, you should consider renting portable toilets.

But how many portable toilets should you get? You have to take into account several different things when making this calculation. The first thing you need to decide is how many people, maximum, will be at the event at a time. If you've got 50 guests, you'll need one toilet, if you have 100, you'll need two, and if you have 1,000, you'll need five. The longer the event, the more toilets you should provide. You can assume that your guests will need to use the facilities once every three or four hours. With smaller party sizes, one or two additional toilets will suffice, but with larger numbers, you'll need to add considerably more.

You will need to modify this basic number with the following conditions. For example, you also need to consider how many women will be attending the event. You should be ready to add one or two toilets to your total needs to accommodate your female guests if they are at least half of your total party. Check out the port a potty rental prices.

Alcohol will also modify your numbers. Alcohol makes people urinate more often (30 to 40 percent more often, in fact), so the number of restrooms will also need to rise if your guests will be drinking. The number you need to add will vary based on the other factors involved, but you should plan for an additional 10 percent or more.

If the portable toilets will be used to supplement the restrooms available, you can count those permanent facilities as part of your total. For example, if your home has two restrooms, you can decrease your calculated need by two. And don't forget hand sanitation. People like to be able to wash their hands after using the facilities, but this is often ignored when arranging for outdoor facilities. Read more about porta potty rental houston.

You may also need to consider persons with disabilities when making your porta potty plans. Of course, if you know for a fact that no disabled persons will be at the event, such as at a private party the guests to which you all know personally, you won't need to make arrangements for them. For any event that will include guests you do not know, though, you should be prepared to accommodate guests with physical disabilities in the form of accessible portable toilets.

  20. If you are going to have some kind of event with a large number of people, you really need to make sure that you have enough portable toilets. It is never fun having to wait in line for fifteen minutes because there weren't enough stalls. Taking into consideration how long the event will last should also be a factor in deciding how many to get.

  25. It's important for everyone at an outdoor public event and for the image of the company that's hosting the event to have the necessary sanitation needed. The company that I work for is hosting an event for the whole community in our city. We hosted the save event last year. The crowd was a lot larger than we anticipated, so we didn't rent out enough portable toilets to accommodated. We'll be sure to rent enough portable toilets this time after last year's experience.

  27. I remember when portable toilets were much less sanitary then they can be today. There will still be the occasional one that is less cared for, but in general they have become much better in quality. I am grateful for how they have improved.

  36. I didn't realize that there was so much to take into consideration when getting portable toilets! I love the ratio that you gave of one toilet for every 50 people. I also don't think people ever stop to think about what's provided at an event, like water or alcohol. Like you said, if the people are probably going to need a toilet more often as a result of what's provided, you're going to want more. My dad is looking to rent some portable toilets for a company event he's hosting in the mountains. Hopefully he can find a good service! http://www.mauiportabletoilets.com/portabletoilets

  37. My sister is having an outdoor wedding reception, so we realized we will likely need to order portable toilets for everyone. Neither of us has ever done this before, so we need all the advice we can get. This was a very helpful article, as we really had no clue how many we are going to need. I think we have a good idea of what to do now, though, so thank you.

  40. It is good to know that I should add more facilities if more women are present. Having enough restrooms sure makes an event more pleasurable. I have been to a few that have not had enough, and it was not good. Hopefully, having the right amount will only help the event.

  41. To hire a portable toilet for an outdoor event, one should count the number of guests which are coming to your place so that you can make an estimate that how much portable toilets you should hire. If there are 300 people then minimum 4 portable toilets you should hire, 2 for women and 2 for men. In this way your guests will not gonna face an\y kind of problem with the washrooms. For more details one can have a look at http://www.hireportabletoilets.com.au/.
