Portable Toilets Costs

There are many times when you might need to rent a portable toilet. If you are going to be performing construction on your home and the toilets will not be working, having a portable option can be a good choice. Construction sites use them regularly. They can be an option for those who are holding an outdoor wedding reception, for a large family barbecue, and countless other reasons.

Of course, most people do not think about renting portable toilets very often and they have no idea what types of factors they will have to think about when renting. There are far more types of portable toilets available than you might have imagined. There are standard options, as well as larger options that may have sinks, soap, and paper towels with them. There are even larger units and trailers that are available for those who need them.

Other considerations and costs

• Portable toilets that are ADA compliant are available, as well. You will want to consider who will be using the toilet and whether one of these types of units will be needed. Because they are larger, they will cost more to rent.
• You will also need to think about the types of services that will be included in the toilet. Will they be delivered and set up. Are there additional services or equipment that you may need to add?
• It is essential that you have proper locations where the portable toilets can be set up. They need to be on a level surface, and they should be in an area where a cleaning truck will be able to reach them.
• You may need to have permits for the portable toilets, as well.
• Make sure you rent the right number of portable toilets. The standard rule of thumb is to have at least two portable toilets for 50 people if the event lasts for more than a day.

DIY considerations

• DIY is not applicable to portable toilets.
