When you need to request the delivery of portable toilets for your event or job site, you may not know how to get started. If you’ve never had to order this type of facilities service before, you may have a lot of questions about what you need and when you’ll need it. Here are the answers to common questions about port-a-potty rental.

Questions and Answers About Portable Toilets

1. For What Type of Events Are They Useful?

Portable toilets are ideal for large outdoor events where there may not be a traditional bathroom that is close or available. Besides weddings, fairs, and tailgates, they also are a helpful option at construction sites since there is often no bathroom for workers during the long workday. 

2. How Many Do I Need?

A good baseline to start with is that one port-a-potty should be enough for about 50 people at an event that lasts a few hours. Beyond that, consider some additional variables. If there are no standard restrooms near the event, you may want to add an extra unit. Similarly, if there will be a lot of food and drink served or the event is more than just a few hours, it’s always safer to have an extra unit or two. 

3. Where Should I Put Them?

The best location for a portable toilet is somewhere a little removed from the main event but also still accessible. Try to choose an area that has good lighting, and make sure the ground is flat to avoid any wobbling. 

4. Is It Okay to Use Them in Cold Weather?

Port-a-potties are able to function normally in the cold. Generally, the technician from the rental company will treat the fluid with a type of anti-freeze so it stays liquid even in low temperatures, ensuring your guests or employees have working facilities even in freezing temperatures.
