Those who are organizing a large event will need to consider the number of portable toilets that are available for the attendees. While it’s certainly not glamorous, a failure to install the right number of toilets can easily ruin an otherwise great affair, so below are some tips which will ensure everything is handled professionally.
How Long Will The Event Last?
A general rule of thumb is that you’ll want to have a single latrine for every sixty guests and the longer the gathering, the more you’ll need, especially if people will be drinking. If the guests plan to stay overnight, the amount of toilets will need to be higher still.
Will The Event Be Held Outdoors?
Indoor venues are usually straightforward; you’ll simply need to choose a building that has the right number of toilets based on the amount of guests who will be present. Events that are held outdoors are more complicated, because portable toilets will have to be setup, and unlike hotels which usually have their own janitorial staff on hand, for portable outdoor toilets you will need to hire an independent janitor to keep them tidy.
Make Sure You Have Adequate Space
Having the right number of porta potties won’t do you any good if there isn’t adequate space to house them. If you plan to host the event at a venue which you don’t own, you’ll want to plan an advance site tour of the grounds with the owner (or their representatives) to discuss your management options. Are the grounds where you intend to install the portables stable and firm? If not, the portable toilets could sink or damage it once they are put in place. You’ll also need access to an area where trucks will deliver and extract the units. The portables should be close enough to the event where attendees can easily access them, but if the units are too close they will become an eye sore.
How Many Women Will Attend?
If the attendees will be fifty percent female or more, you’ll want more toilets than usual since women tend to use them at a higher frequency than men. Each event has to be handled separately, and you’ll want to check the guidelines of the local city council to make sure everything is in order. If both males and females will be attending, it is crucial to designate and separate the portables for each gender, placing them in different areas.
Additional Things To Consider
Having enough latrines is just the beginning; you’ll also need to ensure your guests have a hygienic experience. Nothing ruins an event more than having a dirty or smelly toilet, or running out of tissue, soap or hand sanitizer. A reputable waste management team can be hired to deliver the portables before the event begins and then pick them up after it ends. They will also include soap dispensers and foot pumps which will enable the attendees to flush or wash without having to touch things with their hands.
