You can add a successful event  by answering the following questions:

  • How many people do you plan to attend your event?

  • Are food and/or beverages( especially alcohol) being served?

Under normal conditions most persons will use sanitation facilities once every four hours. Each portable restroom favility should accommodate a maximum of 100 uses. Weather conditions and the consumption of food, liquids, beer and other alcoholic beverages will increase usage by 30-40%. In order to prevent people from waiting in lines, additional restrooms may be required. Please contact us at 503-252-0550 or 360-253-5225 to discuss proper quantities required.
