This is a common question when planning an event.

The following chart provides a guideline for determining the minimum number of portable toilets required in order to provide reasonable access to facilities with minimal waiting lines, based on the size and length of your function.

To calculate the number of portable toilets needed: determine the duration of the event and the number of people attending. Then, in the chart above, find the corresponding number of units recommended. The resulting number is a guideline for the minimum units.

In order to keep lines to a minimum :

• If your event features food and beverages, consider adding additional units
• If Alcohol is being served we recommend an additional 1.5 units per hour of event time

Things to keep in mind:

• Location: Be aware of proximity to venue and walking distances
• Hand washing stations : Is there access to a water hose?
• Disability: Provide appropriate facilities for your attendees with disabilities
• Servicing: Arrange in advance with Ottawa Toilet Rentals for restocking supplies or cleaning for multiple-day events

Additional units may be required if the ratio of women to men at the event is larger than normal. Studies have shown that women take, on average, 40% longer than men to use the restroom. If beverages are being served at your event, you need to provide more facilities than a 'dry' event Extra cleanings are available as an alternative to additional toilets at a per unit charge, at the customers request.
