Event Planning Tips - Portable Restroom Trailer and Toilet Rentals

When planning large events there is a lot to keep track of and some things just cannot be overlooked. If you're hosting a large event, especially one serving alcohol, for example, please consider the following tips to help your event run smoothly and keep your guests comfortable and enjoying the event rather than waiting in a line.

For smaller events a few of the regular porta potty type units are good enough but as you add more guests then the amount will increase along with the factors listed in the next section. You may need to add restroom trailers if guests are there that require special facilities such as the bride at the wedding or a DJ at a music festival. Anywhere from one to hundreds of portable toilets could be required for an event so consult with a professional if you aren't experienced in this aspect of large event planning.

As for the number of portable toilets that should be made available, it varies based on how many people attend the event, the amount of time those people spend at the event, and a few other factors. If alcohol is being served at the event, increase the number of units by around 20%. If more than 50% of the people at the event are women, you can add up to 50% to the total number of restrooms to accommodate them comfortably. You should have at least 1 wheelchair accessible portable toilet for each cluster of regular ones, amounting to around 10% of the total amount of portable restrooms. Subject to these factors and a little bit of common sense you should be able to figure out a suitable number before you go talk to any portable restroom rental companies about your plan for the event.

Factors to consider when placing the toilets are usually concerned with actually placing the portable restrooms around the site of the event. Level ground in an area a safe distance away from the event, proper lighting, and some place specific factors like not placing them near monuments or residential areas; there may be specific requirements in your city or town as well so bear those in mind when planning the event. Try to keep them out of the way so traffic flow isn't interrupted and space them out enough from each other to allow for lines to form.

Using these tips and knowing who your guests are you can plan a good event where everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. The longer the wait for them is less time they are spending on the event and a for pro-fit event should know that is bad for business, less t-shirts and beers are being sold, so plan your event with an expert local company to ensure the special event is being planned accordingly.
