How many people can one standard porta potty serve?
One standard porta potty handles about 200 uses between services. That covers a crew of up to 10 workers for a week, or a party of about 50 guests for 4 hours. Bigger crews or longer events need more units or extra service.
For exact counts, use the porta potty calculator for events or the OSHA crew table for jobsites.
What does a standard porta potty look like inside?
Inside a standard porta potty you will find a molded toilet seat over the waste tank, a wall urinal, a double toilet paper holder, a hand-sanitizer dispenser, a coat hook and a screened roof vent. The floor has a non-slip texture.
When is a standard porta potty the wrong choice?
A standard porta potty is the wrong choice when guests expect running water, when anyone uses a wheelchair, or when the event runs more than a day with no service. Upgrade to a deluxe flushing unit, a wheelchair-accessible unit or add a mid-event service.
Compare all options on the homepage unit comparison table, or see deluxe flushing units and wheelchair-accessible units.
Questions people ask before booking
Does a standard porta potty have a sink?
A standard unit has hand sanitizer, not a sink. Add a hand-washing station or choose a deluxe unit for running water.
Will a standard porta potty fit through my backyard gate?
The unit is about 44 inches wide, so the gate or path needs to be at least 48 inches wide with level ground on both sides.
Can it go on a slight slope?
A gentle slope is fine as long as the unit sits steady and the door swings freely. Steep or soft ground needs a level spot or a gravel pad.
Is there a lock?
The door latches from inside. A combination lock kit can be added to keep the public out of a jobsite unit after hours.
