The benefits of using portable sanitation totally outweigh any cost that provides for a safe and healthy outdoor bathroom experience. Portable sanitation is the perfect solution to your restroom needs whether your facilities at your permanent location are limited and incapable of handling a large crowd or if you are in the middle of a field without a building in sight.
Beyond accessibility, portable sanitation improves the health and safety conditions at any event or job site, reflects positively upon employees and/or visitors, saves time and money, AND provides a more environmentally conscious outdoor restroom alternative.
Personal style for your portable restroom
A temporary restroom does not have to be the same gross or boring porta-potty you have grown accustomed to thinking of. Add a splash of style to your rental with your own personal touch:
* Add a floral arrangement to interior
* Place greenery around the outside of the restroom to disguise unfavorable characteristics
* Fragrances can help stimulate the users’ senses and detract from any less stimulating fragrances
* Add baskets full of various toiletries, one for the gentlemen and one for the ladies. Include such items as body spray or perfumes, lotions, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. Be creative!
Portable restroom placement = convenience
Making guests walk long distances or have to search to find the portable restroom can detract from their overall experience. The temporary portable restrooms should be located in place that is easily accessible from various sections of the event. Your Service Provider can guide you in choosing the best location for your portable restroom or bathroom trailer.
Added amenities make the difference
Everyone has their own reservations about portable restrooms and the stereotype that precedes them. What if those same people were to walk into a portable restroom and say, “WOW!” This can be achieved and can really change the perception of your event. If you are accustomed to renting a standard type special event restroom, consider upgrading to a portable restroom with flushing toilet, hands-free sink, mirror, solar lighting and even artificial flowers. Want to take it one step further? Consider a Bathroom Trailer that is sure to impress even the most discriminating of users with its fancy fixtures, flushing commodes, hands-free sinks with running water, stereo and even air conditioning for those hot summer days. Let luxury portable restrooms or bathroom trailers be an extraordinary addition to your event.
Make sure you have the proper permits for public venues
If you are hosting your event at a public venue, be sure that you do not need permits to have portable sanitation on site. In the event that permits are required, please consult the city in which the event will take place. Your provider will be happy to assist you along the way whenever possible.

“I have a permanent bathroom facility. Why use portable restrooms???”
Using portable restrooms exclusively or at least partially could be a better option. You should consider accessibility, the strain that may be placed on your septic system (if applicable) or cost of the water usage, the potential nightmare should a child or someone use too much paper and stops up one commode, or some other similar catastrophe in a permanent type bathroom facility
Where can I place my portable restroom?
Having the liberty to place a portable restroom in a multitude of locations can be one of the biggest benefits of choosing to use portable restrooms or bathroom trailers. However, there are some limitations that will determine where you can and cannot place your rental. When considering what type of restroom you wish to rent, follow these simple guidelines on placement:
* Place in a dry, level location
* Consider accessibility – centrally located or strategically scattered
* Keep within the vicinity of the location of food/beverages
* Must be within 25ft. of where a service truck can park after gaining access
How can I increase sanitation beyond restrooms at my site/event?
If your guests will be eating or your employees will be involved in the preparation and handling of food, you may want to consider providing a hand washing station. Hand washing stations can bring sanitation to the plate regardless of the location of your event. Hand washing stations are the perfect compliment to standard portable restrooms. Hand washing stations, although not completely hands free, can decrease the spread of germs and disease.
How can I accommodate guests that have special needs or small children?
Not all restrooms are easily accessible for guests that have special needs and they may not be compliant with local, state, or federal standards. Not all restrooms have enough interior space for parents to accompany their children into the bathroom. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has guidelines in place that can cause portable restrooms to offer the perfect solution in these situations and can be used regardless of limitations. It is generally recommended that for every ten regular/standard sized portable toilets that there be one ADA unit provided, or as the Americans with Disabilities Act requires, 5% of all restrooms on site be wheelchair accessible, or a minimum of one per order. Having an ADA portable restroom at your event will allow for easier use with increased interior space providing easy access for all guests! But one issue never discussed is that most ADA/Wheelchair accesible portable restrooms have much smaller holding tank capacities than standard sized portable toilets do…which means IF they are so popular because of their extra space and they get used even more because of that, they are going to have to be serviced more often…whew!!!
How do I keep my rental clean throughout my event?
The more temporary restrooms you have to accommodate your guests, the cleaner each restroom will be, but there are other options. Keep your portable restrooms clean and problem free with a restroom attendant! Most Service Providers offer attendant services for your rental, keeping it clean and restocked with supplies throughout your event. This is a great way to have peace of mind knowing that there will not be restroom related issues. Ask Your Service Provider about taking advantage of this service!
How can I pay for my rental?
Our Service Providers accept most major credit cards, Check, or Money Order orders. Usually for first time customers, check or money order option must be paid upon delivery or in advance by credit card.
How do I protect myself against damages to my rental?
Unfortunately, portable restrooms are damaged occasionally, some accidentally and others by plain mischief. Customers can protect themselves from expensive damage costs with the purchase of a Damage Waiver. This waiver is like insurance that protects you against damages to the portable restroom including fire, theft, and vandalism. This inexpensive investment could go a long way to protecting you against paying for something that may have been out of your control.
