How Many Porta Potties Do I Need for My Event?











One of the most crucial things to think about when organizing an event is making sure your attendees have access to adequate sanitary facilities. At any event—music festivals, weddings, sporting events, community fairs—having enough porta potties is essential to maintaining comfort and hygienic conditions. But how can you calculate the number of portable toilets you’ll require? You can make an informed decision with the help of this comprehensive information.

Amount of Guest

The estimated number of guests will mostly dictate how many porta potties are required. To ensure comfort and handle greater groups, more amenities are needed.

Length of the Event

This is an essential variable to take into account. Less units may be needed for a brief event; more units and more frequent servicing are needed for a longer event.

Event Type

Distinct events possess distinct standards. An alcoholic music festival typically requires more units than a wedding or business function.

Food and Drink

Food and drink-related events, especially those that involve alcohol, increase the number of restroom visits. If your event will involve both, be sure to budget for either a bar or a considerable amount of catering.

  • It will take about 6–8 units to accommodate 250–500 people.
  • Should the event be expected to draw 500–1,000 people, rent 8–12 porta-potties.

For every 500 people, add three or four extra units.

These estimates will need to be modified for multi-day events to account for the necessity for more regular cleaning and unit repairs.
