Portable Toilet Rentals For Commercial Applications
Many commercial businesses and shopping centers hold outdoor events throughout the year to attract customers or provide entertainment for employees. For example, a commercial business may want to reward their employees by holding an outdoor event such as a picnic or music show. A shopping center may want to hold an event in their parking lot, such as a holiday attraction, in order to entice more potential customers to stop by. No matter the event, if indoor restrooms are not available or too far away, porta potties will be absolutely essential for both staff and visitors alike.
Which Type Of Portable Toilet Is Right For My Commercial Business Event?
Porta potties have come a long way in recent years and you now have more options than ever before. From the standard stall to deluxe and luxury models, there is sure to be an ideal solution for your shopping center or commercial business.
Single Stall Porta Potty
This is the typical porta potty you have likely seen or even used at least once. They accommodate one person at a time. Each unit features a toilet seat and a urinal off to the side. They will be stocked with basic amenities and toilet paper.
Family Friendly Porta Potty With Changing Station
If you are expecting families with children at your event, then it may be a good idea to ensure they have access to family portable restrooms. These units are larger than the standard stalls and can easily accommodate a parent and small child. They also feature a changing station, which makes changing diapers much easier. They can also be stocked with hand sanitizer.
Handicap & Wheelchair Accessible Portable Restrooms
These ADA compliant portable restrooms are spacious enough to allow access with a wheelchair. They feature handles around the toilet and come with all the standard sanitation amenities. This type of portable restroom is essential for the disabled to have access to toilets at your event and it may even be required by law.
Additional Portable Sanitation Services
In addition to porta potties you can also supply your guests and employees with added sanitation options. This is especially important given everyone’s increased focus on cleanliness due to the pandemic. It is more important than ever to ensure access to sanitary services. That is why we supply portable hand washing stations where your guests can wash their hands just like they would with an indoor restroom. Also, consider adding portable hand sanitizer stations, which will go a long ways towards ensuring proper sanitation for everyone.
What Length Of Rental Contracts Are Available?
Rental terms for porta potties can vary for commercial properties and shopping centers depending on your needs. Whether you simply need some portable restrooms for a weekend affair, or a multi-month event, there are affordable rates available.
Short Term Porta Potty Rentals
Porta potties can be rented for as little as a single day, a weekend, an entire week or several weeks. These lengths of time are considered short-term contracts. These shorter term contacts typically either do not require a cleaning and emptying of the porta potty units, as they are usually cleaned one per week. Short term rentals are ideal for limited time events, such as weekend gathering or a week-long special attraction.
Long Term Porta Potty Rentals
A long term contact is typically described as renting porta potties for a month or longer. Your porta potties will be serviced once per week, unless otherwise arranged beforehand. However, if you have the proper quantity of porta potties for the number of people you are expecting at your commercial business or shopping center, then the units should only need weekly servicing. The pricing for your units will vary based on the exact length of time you need them for, frequency of servicing and the number of porta potties you rent.
As a general rule, the longer you rent a porta potty for the less your daily rates will be. This is because longer terms save on the pickup, transportation and delivery costs for the porta potty units which is a big cost for the vendor. So the longer you rent, the more affordable it will be to utilize the porta potty units per day.
How Many Porta Potties Will I Need For My Commercial Business Or Shopping Center?
The number of portable restrooms or other sanitation services you need will largely depend on the type of event you’re holding and the number of attendees, including employees.
Actually, there are OSHA rules and regulations surrounding access to restrooms that may apply to your situation. They require that you have at least one porta potty if you have 20 or fewer workers. In general, you will want at least 2 porta potties per 50 workers who are expected to work an 8-hour shift. Not following OSHA regulations could open you up to costly fines.
Also, you will have to take attendees into account. They typically require the same number of porta potties as workers, unless food and beverages are being served. In that case, you can expect porta potties to be used 15% to 20% more frequently than if beverages were not being served. This is especially true if alcoholic beverages are going to be served.
Porta Potties Are Essential For Commercial & Shopping Center Events
No matter how small or large your event may be, everyone involved will need access to portable restrooms. In addition, it is a good idea to provide even more sanitation services in order to help prevent the spread of germs. Consider adding portable wash and hand sanitizer stations. Your attendees will certainly appreciate the added attention that you have given to their sanitation and comfort. Portable restrooms are very affordable, especially for longer term contracts. There are many options available, so rest assured that the perfect solution will be available for your event.
