Hopefully, the recent news report of the collapse of the stadium dome where the Minnesota Vikings play will not be a sign of more disastrous things to come this winter. With the official start of winter a week away the collapse of the stadium roof reminds us how important being prepared for major storms can be. NSC Restrooms is located in beautiful Massachusetts and our neighbors in the Midwest know all too well just how quickly a small storm can escalate to hazardous conditions. The best we can do is take steps ahead of time to be ready at home, at work, and on the road. By now most of us should know the check list by heart. Did we change the batteries in the fire/smoke alarms? Do we have flash lights and candles and are the batteries for the house or car flashlights good? These are the things we can control. What about those we cannot?

Hopefully the snow that is surely on its way this winter will not bring down our roofs or freeze our pipes. However, in the event that we are met with our own natural disaster, keep in mind that NSC Restrooms can respond quickly to provide toilets to your family or facility. There is nothing worse than frozen pipes in your home or work, but if you are faced with this scenario this winter, keep NSC Restrooms in mind. With hundreds of portable toilets and restroom trailers available, and a speedy response time, NSC can make even natural disasters less disastrous.

Once again, the foliage throughout New England offers us a brilliant display of color. Our mornings are becoming crisp as the days get shorter and soon the daily temperatures will drop and the holiday season will arrive. This means freezing temperatures and winter weather are not far off. NSC wants you, our customers, to know that we will be adding a brine solution to our office trailer equipment and portable restroom units this November to prevent freeze-ups of our units. We will keep this solution in our units throughout the winter season.

Freezing temperatures during the winter can present unique conditions on your construction site where employee safety needs to be at the forefront of project management. Also, at Christmas tree u-pick farms where employee and customer safety and comfort are essential, the winter can pose challenges. As always anything you can do to ensure that your employees and customers have safe access to portable restrooms while reducing slip and fall conditions are greatly appreciated all the way around. At NSC your safety and comfort are always on our minds.

One of the most important aspects of planning any outdoor event may also be the least talked about – making sure there are enough bathroom facilities for all of the guests. If the venue you have chosen has too few bathrooms or none at all, it is important that you rent the right style and amount of mobile restrooms.

The type of mobile restroom you will want to rent depends on the type of project or event you are holding. The basic one, usually referred to as a porta potty, generally consists of a simple toilet and hand sanitizing gel. These are effective, low price options for municipal ball fields, parks, parades, or construction sites. If your event is open to the public, or if you will have physically challenged guests, you may want to consider handicap accessible portable toilets too.

Portable restroom trailers are the top of the line and are a good choice for special events such as weddings, conferences, and other gatherings where guests might be more dressed up or better facilities may be required. These luxury portable toilets boast vanities, wood floors, lights, ceramic sinks and flushing toilets.

A portable toilet rental company with a good reputation will provide clean toilets that are in good condition along with maintenance and servicing to ensure that your guests, employees or members are well taken care of.
