Special Events

When considering the use of temporary restrooms for your event, ask yourself the following questions:

Will food or alcohol be served?  Events where food and alcohol are served necessitate the need for added restroom facilities.  Also important is the need for portable toilet facilities which include hand washing capabilities.   

Are permanent toilet facilities available and easily accessible?  Consider the adequacy and accessibility of any available permanent toilet facilities.  If the event is large and being held in an outdoor venue, restrooms should be clearly marked, easy to get to and use, as well as in adequate numbers for the amount of guests.  If the event is held at a residence, consider the amount of traffic through the home to use the permanent facilities.

Are the permanent toilet facilities served by a septic system?  Increased usage puts a strain on any septic system.  To prevent a septic emergency, added temporary portable toilet facilities are recommended.

Will there be guests with special needs or young children in attendance?  Guests with special needs may require a more accessible restroom facility.  Also, parents with young children may need a larger area within the restroom for easier navigation.
