If you have an event coming up, you might be thinking about renting some portable toilets. But as you begin your search in earnest, you might notice that there are many companies available to use. If you need some help on setting them apart, consider asking some key questions.

3 Questions to Ask Before Renting Portable Toilets

1. Are You a Local Company?

A portable sanitation company that is based nearby can be a big help to your cause for a few reasons. First, they will be familiar with your local area and perhaps have even delivered to the venue you are using. Since they are local, you can also trust them to deliver the port-a-potties on time. They’ll also be quicker to respond should any issues arise. Local companies should also be more familiar with municipality requirements and park district requests, which are things you may not have thought of at all.

2. What Does My Portable Toilet Rental Include?

It’s important to understand what your rental entails. This includes for how long you’ll have the toilets and what kind of services the company provides. If you’re hosting an event that spans multiple days with a high volume of people, you will need to have the port-a-potties serviced at some point during the event, so you’ll want to make sure this is included in the price. Also inquire about delivery, setup, pickup, and supplies.

3. How Many Portable Toilets Do I Need?

From your standpoint, renting portable toilets may be a total guessing game, and trying to do some math on your own likely won’t help to determine what you need. However, if you tell the professionals what type of event you’re hosting, for how long, and how many people you expect to attend, they can tell you what kind of toilets and how many you will require. The last thing you want is long bathroom lines or an overflowing toilet, so having professional help to determine how many you need at your event is vital.
