How Many Porta Potties Per Person?

One of the more common questions people ask is, “How many porta potties per person?” The reality is it depends on the type and size of your event. Below is a list to help you determine how many portable restrooms you need to rent for your event/special occasion.

How Many Porta Potties Do You Need?

The below could affect the number of portable bathrooms you are required to rent.

How many people are attending your event?

Clearly, the more people you have going to your event is going to mean you should have more toilets accessible. A good rule of thumb is usually 1 portable toilet per fifty people is a good beginning point. Meaning that if you have one hundred people attending you should have at a minimum 2 toilets, 3 toilets for one hundred people, and so forth.

The duration of your event

You need to surmise that your guests are going to require the toilet no less than once every 3 to 4 hours. The more long your event, the more toilets your guests are going to need access to. A smaller event can get away with two extra toilets, but a larger event over a long period of time will require much more.

How many women are going to attending your event?

When at a minimum of half of your guests are going to be women, you are going to need to take that into consideration. To provide for your female guests, you should think about adding one or two more toilets to the total order.

Are your guests going to be consuming alcohol?

Alcohol makes guests “go number one” 30-40% more often. Should your event be serving alcohol, it is wise to acquire a couple more creature comforts to account for the regular use.

Are you going to have access to permanent facilities?

Should your guests be able to access permanent restrooms or other facilities, you can significantly cut down the number of portable restrooms you will require. On the other hand, it is important to know if you are going to actually have access to those facilities. You don’t want to choose for less porta potties only to discover during your event that you cannot access them since they are locked or closed.
