The nature of the event

The nature of the event you are hosting is the first thing to consider before you start looking for a portable toilet rental company. The specific features of the portable toilet will vary according to the nature of your events, whether it be a wedding, concert, birthday party or some other public event.

Number of people and the number of toilets

​The number of people attending the event should be calculated precisely, and there should always be some extra portable toilets available to use, in the event that there is more of a need.

Kind of Food and beverages in the event

​If there is going to be more food and beverages in the event, then the need for portable toilets is markedly increased. Some toilets should be placed near the food and drink stations in case of an emergency, but not so close that it becomes irritable for the attendants.
