Whether you're running a construction site, setting up a camping event, or holding an outdoor party, port-a-potties are essential. They ensure that you, employees, and your guests can use the restroom in comfort in an outdoor setting. Here's what you need to know about these convenient rentals.

What You Should Know About Port-a-Potties

How are port-a-potties maintained?

Each unit needs to be regularly cleaned and have the contents of the tank pumped and removed from the site. How often this occurs depends on how heavily the portable restroom is used, the size of the tank, and the chemicals inside. The chemicals are designed to break down waste and minimize odor, keeping the unit usable for longer.

Are port-a-potties sanitary?

In the past, portable toilets developed a reputation for being dirty and unpleasant. However, modern ones are designed to be easy to clean. As long as they are serviced regularly and emptied frequently enough to keep up with their use, they will stay clean and comfortable. Luxury restroom trailer rentals are also available; they look just like an ordinary indoor bathroom and are just as sanitary.

How do I decide which ones to rent?

The type of toilet you rent depends on what you need them for. Standard models are perfect for construction and camping events. Upscale restroom trailers are wise for occasions like outdoor weddings, family reunions, and parties. In either case, a portable sink outside can help keep things tidy. Talk to your provider about the expected number of attendees, the length of the event, and possible cleaning schedules to determine how many units you need.

Do I need handicapped-accessible toilets?

Port-a-PottiesOnce again, this depends on the event. For small, private parties with a guest list, check whether anyone on your list needs this accommodation. For larger events open to the public, handicapped-accessible units are necessary and make your event more welcoming. For work sites, focus on complying with ADA and OSHA guidelines.
