Tips for Location & Placement of Porta Potties

Experienced event planners know the importance of properly placing restrooms at an event or jobsite. Porta potty locations should be clearly marked, easy to get to, located in high traffic areas, and lines forming at restrooms should not block traffic. Placing restrooms near food and beverage stands is always a good idea, as they are high traffic, and people can go to the bathroom while others wait in line. If you are putting porta potties on a construction site, make sure that they are spread out evenly so that your workers don't have to walk all the way to the other side of the site to use the restrooms. In addition to placing the porta potties in convenient areas that don't block paths of other people, it's important to leave room for the septic pumping truck to have a clear path to the restrooms. Your local porta potty company will be able to help you decide where to place the units so that they are convenient and well placed for maximum efficiency.

Porta Potty Service, Cleaning & Pumping

Before choosing a supplier you need to make sure that cleaning and service is included in your quote.
