The Ultimate Guide to Renting Portable Toilets for Your Event

August 13, 2023 by Kenjan Oduor

The Ultimate Guide to Renting Portable Toilets for Your Event

Are you planning an outdoor event and need to rent portable restrooms? There are a few things you should consider upfront to ensure you get the most value for your money. The following are the most important considerations to consider while renting portable toilets:

Location and Accessibility

First, think about the location and accessibility of your event. Will there be enough space for portable toilets? Will they be easy to access? You don’t want your guests to walk too far to use the restroom. Imagine that you are planning an outdoor wedding in a large park. You have rented several tents for the reception and ceremony, but you haven’t thought about where to place the portable toilets.

You could place them near the entrance to the park, but that would be too far away from the tents. You could also place them near the tents, but that could make them too visible and detract from the beauty of the park.

Solution 1:

Place the portable toilets in a central location that is easily accessible to all guests. For example, if your event is taking place in a large park, consider placing the portable toilets near the entrance or in a central clearing.

Solution 2:

If your event is taking place in a large area, consider renting additional portable toilets to ensure that they are easily accessible to all guests. For example, if your event is an outdoor concert, consider renting additional portable toilets and placing them at regular intervals along the selected space for them

Solution 3:

If your event is taking place on uneven terrain, consider renting portable toilets with wheels that can be easily moved around. For example, if your event is taking place on a hillside, consider renting portable toilets with wheels that can be easily moved up and down the hill.

Number of Guests and Duration of Event

Second, consider the number of guests and duration of your event. You’ll need more toilets if you have a large number of guests or if your event lasts longer than a few hours. You don’t want your guests to have to wait in long lines or run out of toilet paper.

Imagine that you’re planning an outdoor music festival that will last for two days. You’re expecting thousands of people to attend each day. You’ve rented several stages and sound systems, but you haven’t thought about how many portable toilets you’ll need.

Solution 1:

Use the “one toilet per 50 people” rule to determine how many portable toilets you need for your event. For example, if you’re expecting 200 guests at your event, you’ll need at least 4 portable toilets.  Renting additional portable toilets to ensure that there are no long lines or wait times

Solution 2:

If your event lasts longer than a few hours, consider renting additional portable toilets to ensure that you have enough for the entire duration of the event. For example, if your event lasts for 8 hours, you’ll need at least twice as many portable toilets as you would for a 4-hour event.

Type of Event, Portable Toilet and Additional Features

Third, think about the type of portable toilet you need. Will a standard unit suffice, or do you need something more luxurious? You might also want to consider additional features such as hand sanitizers or sinks.

Imagine that you’re planning an outdoor corporate retreat for your company’s executives. You want to provide them with comfortable and luxurious accommodations during their stay.

You could rent standard portable toilets for this event, but they might not meet your executives’ expectations. A better solution would be to rent deluxe portable toilets with sinks and mirrors. This would provide your executives with all of the amenities they need to feel comfortable during their stay.

Solution 1

If you’re on a tight budget, consider renting standard portable toilets. They are affordable and come with basic features such as hand sanitizers. Standard units are perfect for events where cost is a major concern.

Solution 2

If you want something more luxurious, consider renting deluxe portable toilets. They come with additional features such as sinks and mirrors. Deluxe units are perfect for events where comfort and luxury are major concerns.

Solution 3

If you’re concerned about the environment, consider renting eco-friendly portable toilets. They use less water and are more environmentally friendly. Eco-friendly units are perfect for events where sustainability is a major concern.

Reliable Delivery and Setup

Now that you have considered the above factors, it is time to have your portable toilet delivered and set up. Besides, you want to ensure that the portable toilets will be set up appropriately. Experienced professionals will work with you to determine the best location for your portable toilet unit(s). They will ensure that each unit is set up properly and is easily accessible to your guests.

Karibu Loo also provides associates to attend to your concerns and help you maintain the portable toilets throughout your event.

In conclusion, renting portable toilets doesn’t have to be complicated. By considering these before renting, you can ensure that you get the best value for your money. Be sure to do your research to find the right company that will offer you the options you require and that provides the best customer service.

Karibu Loo will assist you in achieving all of the aforementioned factors. For additional information, please contact us!
