Portable restrooms in the Hutchinson, KS, area are an easy way to ensure that everyone around you has a clean place to use the bathroom. They’re suitable for weddings and other special events in the great outdoors where you don’t have access to indoor toilets. You can also use them on construction sites when you have a lot of people working together. The biggest problem you’ll have is figuring out how many portable restrooms you’ll need. Just reach out to Salina Septic Service Septic Service. We’ll go over the basics and help you decide on the right number.
What Is a Portable Restroom?
A portable restroom is essentially a moveable bathroom. A chemical toilet is one of the more popular options. It has a small surround that looks like a tiny building with a toilet tucked inside. This toilet collects human waste in a tank filled with chemicals that prevent odors. It’s easy to rent one for a single night for a special event or have one for an entire weekend. You also have the option of renting one for a week or longer.
For Event Rentals
Many people contact us when they need portable restrooms for special events. Do you want to have a big wedding in the middle of nowhere and need a place for people to use the bathroom? Maybe you have a family reunion coming up at a remote location where running water isn’t available. Not only can we deliver all of the restrooms you need, but we can also help you decide how many that will be.
For event rentals, you want to think about the length of the event and the number of people who will attend. Add one restroom to your list for every 50 people who will be there. You’ll also want to add another one for every four additional hours the event lasts. For example, let’s say you have 100 people coming to an event that lasts for eight hours. You need a minimum of two restrooms for those guests and another one for the later hours, which comes to three portable restrooms.
If the event includes food and drinks, add up to 20% more restrooms. People who eat and drink will need to use the restroom more often, which will fill the holding tanks faster. Add this same amount to events that serve alcohol. For events of a day or longer, use a figure that equals the longest day and the largest group. For example, you might host an event that lasts for four hours one day and 12 hours the next with 1,000 people coming out for the second day. You’ll need a minimum of 12 restrooms for the entire event.
For Job Sites
Construction crews often rely on portable restrooms when they build suburbs and large homes. A single restroom can handle the waste produced by up to 10 workers over a standard 40-hour work week. For jobs with 20 workers, you need a minimum of two restrooms. Take the total number of workers and divide them by 10 to get the number of restrooms you need per week. You can then multiply this figure by the number of weeks the job will last to get your final number.
For mixed-gender crews, you need to add at least one separate restroom. Make sure that you have the right number of bathrooms for both the men and women on your crew. If you have five women and 20 men working on the same site for a week, you need at least two restrooms for the men and one for the women. With long-term rentals, you can ensure that they have the restrooms they need, no matter how long the job lasts.
It’s also helpful to look for hand washing stations for your workers. Hand washing stations are separate units that sit near the portable restrooms. They come equipped with water and soap to help workers clean up on the spot. Hand washing stations are a good alternative to the hand sanitizer you might otherwise use.
