If you‘re planning an outdoor wedding, family reunion, or corporate event, be sure to consider the sanitary needs of your guests. For such occasions, a portable toilet rental is often an ideal solution. Since renting porta potties is not an everyday occurrence, you may want some information. Below are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about this service.

Everything You Need to Know About Portable Toilets

How many do you need?

The required number varies considerably based on a number of factors. When you contact a porta potty rental company, have the following information on hand: will you be serving alcoholic beverages? If so, you'll need to raise your estimate because alcohol is a diuretic. Will the crowd be mostly women, mostly men, or an even mix of both? Women tend to use the facilities more frequently and take a little longer. How long do you expect the event to last? The longer the event, the more in-demand the porta potties will become.

How much do they cost to rent?

The cost to rent a porta potty depends upon a number of factors, including your location, the number of units, the type of facility you need, and the length of your event. Typically, a single unit should rent for around $200 per day, although deluxe or handicap toilets may cost more, and renting more units for longer periods of time will reduce the daily rate for each.

Are they sanitary?

Portable toilets are generally very sanitary and should be cleaned thoroughly before they arrive for your event. In addition, the bowls contain a chemical liquid that breaks down waste materials and mitigates the odors.

Is there an extra charge for waste disposal?

No, in most cases, disposal is included in the price of the rental. Waste is normally pumped out of the reservoirs and taken directly to a nearby wastewater treatment facility. The portable toilets are then washed and thoroughly disinfected before being returned to service.
