Are you planning outdoor events this summer? Whether you’re in charge of a summer festival, hosting a sweet 16 party, or planning a wedding, your guests will have to use the restroom at some point. If you don't have toilets available at the site, here are the benefits of renting portable toilets for your upcoming event.

 
1. Fewer Lines

According to Eureka, when hosting a four-hour event, renting one portable toilet is sufficient for 50 people. You can always rent a couple of extra ones as long as you have room for them. Having enough portable toilets can reduce the bathroom line. As a result, your guests won’t have to spend too much time away from festivities waiting for the restroom.

2. Good Feedback

You want your guests to be happy. Is there a better way to end an event than with smiling faces or good online reviews? You don’t want guests filling review sites with tales of how your annual event has filthy bathrooms. A good event goes beyond food and entertainment. People pay attention to cleanliness, accessibility, and the state of your bathrooms. Portable septic services ensure people can eat and drink as much as they want during the event without stressing about how often they’ll need to use the bathroom. Whether your facilities are indoors or outside, they can affect the satisfaction of those at your event.

3. Sanitation

Your event can get pretty messy without enough bathroom facilities. For example, many people may want to wash their hands before eating. If an event goes on for several hours and includes food and drinks, people will need to use the restroom. You don’t want people to get desperate and relieve themselves in areas outside where they shouldn’t. We've observed that if that happens, your event will violate sanitation and general civility, which can result in a visit from the authorities. Make sure you keep the grounds clean from trash and human waste with portable septic services. If you’re hosting an annual event, we've seen that it can eventually get shut down after too many sanitation citations.

4. Compliance

Before hosting a personal, company, or municipal event, you must understand the compliance codes of the area. According to OSHA (The Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards, workers on construction and other outdoor projects must have immediate access to toilets. Review your state guidelines for events, as states have their regulations for outdoor toilet use. In our experience, portable toilets must receive approval from the local plumbing inspectors of the region.

5. Comfort

Planning a good event involves considering the comfort of your guests. They should have comfortable seating and regulated temperatures. Quick access to a clean bathroom is part of that comfort. With available portable toilets, they won’t have to walk too far to the bathroom or risk having an accident. Plus, you'll have options when it comes to outdoor toilets. You can rent individual ones or more spacious trailers. They often come with sinks, which helps guests feel more comfortable with access to cleanliness. This will help improve everyone's experience as well as their health and safety at your event.

6. Location Flexibility

According to a trends report from Outdoor Industry, over 11.4 billion outdoor events took place in 2021. Now that it’s summer, many of those events are outdoor weddings and music festivals. Additionally, unless you have enough space on your private property, one of the issues of hosting an outdoor event is finding the right location.
