How to Buy Portable Toilets

Purchase portable toilets

Portable toilets are quite necessary in a variety of situations. If you are holding any large outdoor event such as a concert or festival, you must have sufficient portable toilets for all attendees. Most construction sites should also feature portable toilets, particularly if indoor plumbing is not yet available. You can rent portable toilets but if you anticipate you'll need them for an extended period of time, it may be wiser to buy them.

Instructions

1. Determine the number of people that will need access to the portable toilets. You need to assure you have enough toilets to prevent long lines. As a general rule, you should have one portable toilet for every 50 to 100 people. If the event is longer than three hours, you should add an extra toilet per every 50 to 100 people.

2. Assess the type of portable toilets you would like. You can choose basic portable toilets, wheelchair-accessible toilets or even luxury mobile toilet trailers. Consider the people that will be using the toilets as well as the event setting, and decide on the most appropriate type.

3. Search for portal toilet providers. There is likely a provider in your local area. You can also find a bevy of providers online and have the portable toilets delivered directly to you.

4. Ask the sales representative questions about their offerings. He may be able to recommend a more suitable model than you had in mind. Make sure to inquire about cleaning and disposal methods for the specific type of toilet you choose.

5. Consider extra amenities for your portable toilets such as hand sanitizer dispensers and air fresheners.

Tips & Warnings

• Once your portable toilets have been delivered, inspect them to ensure they are in good condition.

• Store toilet paper inside the portable unit to ensure it is always fully stocked.

• Be careful when moving portable toilets. Always enlist the help of another person for security.
