How To Determine the Right Number of Portable Restrooms
Business

When you know you require a restroom rental, the first thoughts that come to mind are how many you need and how long you need them. Knowing the answers to these questions may not be clear and could require more planning and thinking than you envisioned. Below, we discuss how to determine the right number of portable restrooms and dive into the rule of thumb worth remembering.

How Long Is Your Rental Agreement?

Understanding how long the rental agreement needs to last is a critical step in ensuring you rent the proper number of restrooms. The longer you have the restrooms, the more you might be able to scale back your rental units in exchange for a larger rental with more accommodating features.

The expert advice for long-term bathroom rentals is to meet the timeframe first, then accommodate the number. Short-term rentals with a high volume of users will need more units compared to long-term rentals with a handful of users.

What’s the Intent for the Rental?

The reason you need the rental is your intent. Knowing this may help you determine how long you need the rental for and exactly how many you might need. If you’re setting up a construction site where only 5 to 10 workers will be present, you can rent one large-scale unit for long-term use that each worker can help maintain. But if you’re throwing a large summer party, you may need several smaller units that align with approximate head counts.

When you don’t know how many users to expect, use last year’s numbers or similar event attendance rates to work with the service provider to rent the right number. If you don’t rent enough, you can partner with the provider to bring more in. And if you rent too many, they can remove the excess units if you wish and potentially reduce your rental rate.

General Capacity Rule of Thumb

Aside from location and reason, the general rule of thumb for portable restroom rental is one unit per 50 users or one unit with two stalls per 150 users. The service provider’s inventory may alter your rental number based on layout and unit features, so ensure you have the timeframe, intent, and location sorted when placing the rental order.

It can be challenging to determine the right number of portable restrooms for your event or activity. Luckily, the professionals can help, and you’ll get the answers you need in no time.
