How Many Porta Potties Do I Need?
This is the fastest way to avoid lines (and overpaying). If you tell us headcount + hours + whether alcohol is served, we can recommend the right unit count fast. Call 888-368-0854.
Quick rules that work
- • Short events (4–6 hours): plan roughly 1 unit per ~50 guests as a starting point.
- • All-day events: add units or plan service (pump/clean) to prevent problems.
- • Alcohol served: usage increases—add extra capacity.
- • Jobsites: headcount + workday length + service frequency matters more than the "event" rule.
What we need from you for an accurate recommendation
- Dates + start/end times
- Address / placement area (access for delivery truck)
- Estimated headcount and peak usage times
- Alcohol/food and whether it’s indoors/outdoors
- If it’s a jobsite: number of workers + days/weeks + desired service frequency

Yes—add extra units if alcohol is served, especially for longer events.
