Event Portable Toilets

The number of Event Portable Toilets needed depends on the number of people and the duration of the event. A general guideline is one unit for every 50 to 75 people for a standard 4-6 hour event, and more may be needed for larger crowds, extended usage, or if alcohol is served.

The cleaning schedule for Event Portable Toilets depends on factors like the length of the event, the number of guests, and the total number of units. For multi-day events with heavy traffic, it’s common to have at least one cleaning service per day—sometimes more frequently if needed. For smaller or shorter gatherings, servicing may occur at the event’s start or end to ensure the porta potties remain fresh and sanitary for guests. If you expect especially high usage or have specific sanitation requirements, scheduling more frequent cleanings is always an option.

Event portable toilets should be placed in easily accessible areas that support smooth traffic flow, typically near high-traffic zones but away from food service areas for hygiene and guest comfort. Make sure to distribute units evenly across the event site to reduce wait times and crowding, with at least one ADA-compliant unit on flat, stable ground with a clear pathway for wheelchairs or mobility devices. Consider lighting and signage to guide guests, along with nearby handwashing or sanitizing stations if available. And remember to leave enough space for servicing vehicles to safely access and maintain the toilets throughout the event.

It’s generally best to reserve your Event Portable Toilets as early as possible—especially if your event falls during peak months or festival season. For smaller gatherings, booking 4–6 weeks in advance is often sufficient, while large-scale or high-profile events may require 2–3 months’ notice. This lead time ensures you’ll have the right number and type of units available, as well as any custom upgrades or services you might need during the event.
