Portable toilets can offer the perfect solution for job sites and for events where permanent washroom facilities are sparse or nonexistent. Portable toilet rentals in Williams Lake, BC from the sanitation experts at Triple P Sanitation are often used for get-togethers such as weddings, outdoor sporting events, business gatherings, music festivals, campsites, and much more.

If you are in need of portable toilets for your event, then you're likely wondering how many you should rent. Here are some basic guidelines than can help make the portable toilet rental process go smoothly.

A good rule of thumb

Not having enough portable toilet rentals for your Williams Lake, BC event can lead to long lines, over-used facilities, and unhappy event goers. Make sure you have a good idea of how many people are coming, and provide at least one restroom per every 30 people (so about three or four toilets for 100 people and over 30 for 1,000 people).

If your home or venue already has some washroom facilities, then you can definitely include those in your total. If they are far away from the festivities, however, then you want to make sure you at least provide enough nearby portable toilets as well.


Additional considerations

While the one toilet per 30 people guideline should suffice in most scenarios, you may need to consider renting more in certain circumstances. For example, if your event is going to last for several hours, then having a few extra portable toilets can help share the burden and keep them from becoming overused.

One or two more portable toilet rentals in Williams Lake, BC may also be needed for your event if over half of all event goers are going to be women. The needs of female guests are all too often overlooked when it comes to planning washroom facilities.

Another important consideration is if alcohol is going to be served at the event. Alcohol can cause people to visit the restroom much more frequently, so make sure you are ready to accommodate drinking guests by adding, at the minimum, 10% more portable toilets to your total.

Finally, it's not a bad idea to give yourself a little extra wiggle room in case of surprise guests or unfortunate accidents. Even if your event is only going to have 30 people, you may want to rent two portable toilets so that there is always a backup!
