Event Planning Guide

Plan a successful event by answering the following questions:

Under normal conditions most persons will use sanitation facilities once every four hours. Each portable restroom facility should accommodate a maximum of 125 uses. Weather conditions and the consumption of food, liquids, beer and other alcoholic beverages will increase usage by 30-40%.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Proper planning is the key to successful special events and mass gatherings. Studies indicate that adequate restroom facilities have a significant impact on attendance and profitability. Since visual effects make the greatest impression on attendees, special consideration should be given to quantity, placement and service. Because users of the portable restroom facilities determine the quality of service based on both real and perceived conditions, the special events coordinator will want nice, clean, high quality units that are in good repair with vent screens and door locks. Proper service will maintain the condition of the units with regards to the level of waste, the availability of tissue, and a clean interior. Even if the event is not large enough to warrant pumping service, general housecleaning can make a significant impact on the event.

Good planning for sanitation at special events pays! A satisfied customer will stay longer, spend more money, and return next year. Your portable restroom contractor can advise you on availability of hand washing units, handicap facilities and many other special event items.
