There are many facets involved in planning a successful outdoor special event, whether you have 10 or 10,000 guests. When people call for portable toilets, one of the first questions we hear is – how many portable toilets will I need for my event or for my job site? Well it’s not an exact science, but there are some things you need to consider. Here they are:

• How many guests (or workers) do you expect?
• How long will the event (or job) last?
• Will alcohol be served? Events where food and alcohol are served necessitate the need for added restroom facilities.  Also, facilities that include hand washing are important.   
• What is the weather likely to be?
• What level of physical activity is involved?
• Will there be guests with special needs or young children in attendance?  Guests with special needs may require a more accessible portable restroom.  Also, parents with young children may need a larger area within the restroom for easier navigation.

If you are holding a large outdoor event, restrooms should be clearly marked, easy to get to and there should be an adequate number for the amount of guests (or workers).

Here is a chart to help you begin your planning.

This chart is based on a 50/50 mix of men and women with no service for the restrooms during the event.

Finally, you will need to decide on what type of portable toilets you require. The least expensive are the basic models that provide a seated toilet area or a seat and a urinal. If you require an accessible toilet that meets ADA standards, these are also available and will aid in making the restrooms available  for all. ADA portable toilets are also great to use as family restrooms because they provide more space. You can also provide separate portable sinks for hand washing. The luxury option for weddings, charity, corporate, or higher end events are the mobile restrooms, which are air conditioned, have porcelain sinks, a music system and vanities. There are also ADA compliant luxury restroom trailers.

Choosing portable toilets means understanding how many and what type of restrooms you will need. This is determined by the number of people attending the event or working on the job site, as well as how long the units will be needed.

A few weeks ago Western Massachusetts was declared a major disaster area. Many people have had to evacuate their homes as a result of the tornadoes. NSC Restrooms delivered portable restrooms for MEMA (Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency) disaster relief efforts in Monson and Southbridge, MA.

As you are all well aware, the tornadoes that hit Worcester County had a devastating effect on many lives. Homes and businesses were lost and many people were injured. A few were killed.

Northeast Sanitation is available for relief efforts and can respond quickly to provide portable toilets to your family or facility.

But know that NSC Restrooms can make you comfortable by providing temporary restroom facilities.  

With the current outbreak in Europe, of E.coli in humans, this message needs to be reinforced. As of June 6, 2011, case counts confirmed by Germany include over 3000 sick, 642 patients with HUS - a type of kidney failure that is associated with E. coli or STEC infections - and 15 deaths. Transmission is through food or water contaminated with human or animal feces. Person-to-person transmission may also occur, but is likely to be less common.

One of the greatest forms of transferring the bacteria is through the absence of hand washing.  The CDC has listed basic, common-sense advice:  Wash your hands thoroughly after using the bathroom or changing diapers and before preparing or eating food. Wash your hands after contact with animals or their environments (at farms, petting zoos, fairs, outdoor events).

The CDC is also aware that hand washing with soap and water may not always be available and therefore encourage the use of a hand sanitizer.   Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to reduce the number of germs on them. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer.

The CDC stresses the need for hand washing and hand sanitizer. The above information was provided by: Portable Sanitation Association International.

If you do not have hand washing facilities or hand sanitizers, please contact NSC Restrooms regarding portable hand washing stations. The need is greater than the small cost.
