Common Examples

  • Portable Toilets Needed For a Wedding

    People commonly ask how many portable toilets are needed at weddings especially given the popularity of outdoor weddings. It’s important to keep in mind that whenever alcohol is involved, there’s a higher need for restrooms. Plan for one wedding portable toilet per 25 guests.

    ADA-compliant portable toilets are often a go-to for weddings since they are spacious enough to accommodate families, people with limited mobility, and bridal guests in flowy gowns.

    We recommend booking wedding portable toilets well in advance, especially in the spring and summer seasons. If possible, secure your rental at least 2-3 months before the wedding to ensure you get exactly what you’re looking for ahead of time.

  • Portable Toilets Needed for Construction Sites

    When renting construction portable toilets, you need to comply with OSHA law dictating the number of portable toilets per construction worker. ZTERS calculator accounts for OSHA law and our account reps can identify local ordinances in your area.

    For health and sanitary purposes, the required number of construction portable toilets is:

    • One toilet for up to 20 employees
    • One toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers for over 20 employees
    • One toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers for over 200 employees

    Due to the high volume of usage, construction portable toilets should be cleaned once a week. If weekly service isn’t feasible, we recommend renting additional toilets.
