If your event location lacks permanent restrooms, renting a portable toilet is the best way to give guests convenient and sanitary restroom access. But how many portable toilets do you need? Here’s how to determine an accurate portable toilet count for your event.
- Crowd Size. Generally, one portable toilet is recommended for every 50 to 75 people for events lasting a few hours. If your event is expected to last all day, increase the number to prevent overuse and ensure cleanliness.
- Event Duration. A short three-hour event may require fewer restrooms than an all-day festival or wedding. If alcohol is served, restroom use will increase, requiring additional units to prevent long wait times. Plan regular servicing for multi-day events to keep the facilities clean and thoroughly stocked with supplies.
- Provide Accessible and VIP Options. For larger or formal events, consider adding accessible and upgraded portable toilet options. Handicap-accessible units accommodate guests with mobility needs, while luxury restroom trailers provide a more comfortable experience for high-end events like weddings or corporate gatherings.
- Food and Beverage Consumption. The more food and beverages consumed, the more frequently guests need to use the restroom. To accommodate this, adding at least one more portable toilet per 100 guests is recommended when food and drinks are a central part of the event.
