What events require a porta potty?
Concerts – Concerts gather large crowds, usually in spacious venues. Permanent bathrooms alone are often insufficient for concerts. To ensure a successful concert, you should rent several porta potties for the duration of the event.
Events – Hosting an event means ensuring there are enough portable restrooms for guest comfort without overcrowding. For a graduation party with many guests, backyard portable toilets are perfect. The kind of event you are hosting also dictates the type of haulable bathroom you are going to rent. For a wedding, you need a luxury porta potty rather than a standard one. You need to ensure your guests are getting the best services.
Festivals – These events attract a diverse crowd. You need to provide some traveling potties to ensure the attendees have somewhere to go after a couple of meals or drinks.
Family reunions – Hosting your extended family for Thanksgiving?. Your indoor permanent toilet may not suffice for a large group. Rent a flushable portable toilet with a handwashing station to ensure hygiene during meals. Consider renting one with a baby changing station for families or an accessible unit for the physically handicapped. Ensure all guests’ needs are met when choosing portable restrooms.
Construction sites – Portable restrooms are vital for any commercial or residential construction site. They can be moved between floors, minimizing the distance workers need to travel. These units make the construction site more hygienic and increase the general productivity of the workers.
Parties – Any party, whether a birthday party, wedding, anniversary, office party, etc. requires a moveable potty. Guests will require restrooms and handwashing facilities, which an indoor toilet may not adequately provide.
