Whether you’re planning a wedding, a big community event or a private party, portable sanitation may be low on your list of priorities. However, the availability of restrooms can easily make or break the success of your event.
It is important to make sure you have all of the planning in place to help you make the best decision possible when choosing the right portable toilet service for your event.
Questions you will need to ask yourself are:
- How many people will be attending my event?
- Will there be any guests with special needs?
- How long will my event be?
- Will there be alcohol consumption? The consumption of food, liquids, beer and other alcoholic beverages will increase usage by 30-40%.
Once you have answered all of these questions, follow our chart to find out the adequate number of units you will need to make your event a success!

The Finer Details
Once you figure out how many portable toilets you need you can turn your attention to the finer details. The last question to ask yourself is:
- What type of equipment will best suit my guests?
Many people may be shocked to discover that portable toilets are not “one size fits all.” There are several different types that you can choose from, helping provide even more comfort and convenience for your guests. Beyond the Standard Unit, we offer a variety of options from Deluxe Units to Elite Restroom Trailers. Five percent of your porta potties should be Wheelchair Accessible, with a minimum of one per order for events.
