For most events, plan one portable toilet per 50 guests for up to four hours, add about 30% for six hours or alcohol, include at least one ADA unit for public events, and add one handwashing station for every three to four toilets. Units are delivered the day before or the morning of the event.

Events we set up
Backyard and graduation parties, family reunions, church picnics and fundraisers, youth sports tournaments, 5Ks and races, farm days, county and village festivals, concerts and car shows. Multi-day festivals get a cleaning schedule between days.
Timing delivery and pickup
Most event units arrive the day before or early the morning of the event, so a truck is never backing up through your guests. Pickup is usually the next business day. If the venue needs the units gone right away, ask about a timed pickup when you book.
Placement tips
- Close to the action but downwind of food and seating
- On firm, level ground the truck can reach
- Door facing away from the main crowd for privacy
- Lit at night, or ask for units with interior lights
