Imagine you\u2019ve been planning an outdoor wedding or a family reunion for months. You secured the space. You called the tent rental, the caterer, and the florist. If it\u2019s a smaller affair, maybe you rounded up family members to divvy up the DIY responsibilities. But what about the bathroom facilities? A week before the event you discover there are no restrooms for miles, and you\u2019re about to have grandma and about 18 nieces and nephews looking for a portable toilet. Before you have a panic attack about renting a portable toilet for your wedding<\/a> or other outdoor event, here are some of the top porta potty myths and why they\u2019re really not so bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #1 Event porta potties are gross.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people think they\u2019re going to arrive at the site and find a raggedy, old, beat-down toilet at their wedding or event. Actually, that isn\u2019t how it works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portable toilets have a life cycle<\/a> just like almost everything else. Brand new porta potties are first put into circulation as events toilets. So, the ones you\u2019ll be receiving are relatively new and kept in like-new condition. Let\u2019s be honest, no one wants a raggedy restroom at their wedding. Toilet vendors understand that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #2 There\u2019s only one size of rental toilet\u2014and it\u2019s too small.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever been to a race or a public outdoor event where you\u2019ve squeezed into a porta potty, you might think they\u2019re way too small for a bride in a gown. Most people are going to be perfectly comfortable in a regular sized portable toilet, but that whole dress situation is a real problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are larger porta potties<\/a> specifically made to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. They\u2019re large enough for a wheelchair to enter and do a 360-degree turn. That\u2019s plenty of space for a bride in even the largest gown. There are also bathroom trailers<\/a> if the location has the space and water capabilities to support it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #3 I can just rent a portable toilet the week before the wedding!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Probably not, so don\u2019t even try it! Do you know how many outdoor festivals, concerts, and races take place in spring and summer\u2014the same months as most outdoor weddings and family reunions? That creates a huge demand for portable toilets. If you\u2019re planning a spring or summer event, in particular, make sure you\u2019ve called to book portable toilets at least three months in advance. If you know the area hosts a lot of festivals, call even further in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know the one month when porta potties are almost always sold out months in advance? October. Those haunted houses and pumpkin patches take up a lot of toilets! If you\u2019re planning an October event, book months in advance. Better to call too early than to be left without a toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #4 I don\u2019t need a porta potty at the park.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you sure about that? Sometimes people assume there will be public bathrooms at a public park, but don\u2019t count on it. Double check and decide if you need to rent a couple to be on the safe side. One caveat about renting toilets on public land\u2014make sure you contact the municipality that manages the park and find out what permits are needed. They\u2019ll likely have specific instructions and procedures for you to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also make sure to ask if the toilets need liners or if there are any other special considerations. Sometimes you can rent portable toilets attached to trailers that can be easily towed into and out of the park. If you\u2019re using a broker like ZTERS, we can help you decide which option is right for your location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #5 I can put a toilet anywhere!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Which brings us to\u2014can you put a portable toilet anywhere? You can put them in more places than you might realize, but sometimes there are special circumstances. Some locations will require special liners. Beaches, for example, often require special handling. And yes, you will probably need to take your own toilets to a beach event! And some locations will be difficult or impossible to reach by truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s a chance your location will be difficult to get to, or they may have special requirements, then definitely book in advance and consider working with a broker like ZTERS.
