Mobile restrooms can make all the difference to your outdoor event.  They are the perfect solution for the outdoor wedding.

Once inside, it is hard to differentiate portable restrooms from an actual restroom. With recessed lights, ceramic flushing toilets, a vanity, and ceramic sinks with running water. The restroom trailer has a men’s and women’s side with multiple stalls in each.

These mobile restrooms can be used year round because there is an HVAC system to keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. But that’s not all, the amenities in these restrooms, including state-of-the-art sound system and marble vanities make these mobile restrooms luxurious. It is never too early to reserve mobile restrooms for your 2012 events.

If you have ever been to any kind of outdoor festival event, you've probably encountered the average portable restroom. Plastic individual restrooms that usually have a line outside them waiting, certainly they do not have a fantastic odor, and they only get emptied when the trucks come to empty them out.

Luxury mobile restrooms on the other hand, have all the conveniences of your bathroom at home, no matter where outside you happen to be. Mobile Restrooms are able to provide running water and electricity for lights, heating and air conditioning.
 
Depending on the size of the restroom trailer rental, they will have either individual restrooms or multiple toilet stalls and urinals. However, the true mark of luxury mobile restrooms is the fact that visitors cannot tell the difference between using these and the facilities in their own homes. To that end, all luxury mobile restrooms are finished to a very high standard, often incorporating aesthetically pleasing wood paneling, ceramic sinks and toilets, and fake marble into the decor.

Luxury mobile restroom trailers are in a portable restroom league of their own. Luxury mobile restrooms allow users to feel at home. The experience for your guests is worth it.

It is important to have the correct amount of portable toilets for your special event. Without enough portable restrooms, you run the risk of having dissatisfied guests. The last thing you want are long lines or complaints about the lack of portable toilets or that they are dirty. Plan a successful event with plenty of restrooms for the amount of people in attendance. Portable restroom rentals are one of the most important features of special event planning.

In order to plan a corporate or municipal event, you need to dates and back up dates, make a budget, choose and reserve the location, obtain permits and coordinate transportation and parking, as well as plan for event registration. And, depending on the type of event, some other tasks may include decorations and themes, tents, tables and chair layout, and contracting electric and lighting crews, and audio/visual companies. And for outdoor events, depending on the size, add to that to-do list: security, portable toilets, emergency and health care services, and clean up and sanitation.

The true first step in planning an event is to prepare thoroughly. The most important thing to figure out is the total expected number of guests. That number is going to affect everything else. The amount of food, the number of tables, and the amount of portable restrooms or restroom trailers are all dependent on the maximum number of people that are planning to attend. If you are unsure of an exact number, round up. Too much is always better than not enough.

It is never too soon to be thinking about your upcoming event; as we all know, time flies, and soon it will be right around the corner. Corporate events, town fairs, or outdoor weddings can all use a luxury restroom trailer. Often times, event planners and coordinators are focusing on the food, entertainment, venue and centerpieces, with restroom facilities being the last on the list. But, it is never too soon to book your portable restroom trailer.

WEBSITE BUILDS BONDS

At first, McNamara relied on established business contacts — the “golden Rolodex,” as he puts it — and word-of-mouth referrals. But three years ago, he realized the company also required an Internet presence. The current website was revised about a year ago, and he says it’s a continual work in progress.

“In today’s world, people want to know you have a website,” he adds. “Everyone should have one that shows their products and explains what they do. But you also have to deliver on what you say on the website.”

To keep the website interesting, McNamara posts a weekly blog that talks about a wide array of issues, from strategic placement of units on construction sites to how many restrooms a customer might need for a wedding or party.

“We aim for information people can use,” he says. “At the same time, we’re also always looking for creative ideas to have some fun with it, too.

We ask our drivers for ideas, and they’ve come up with topics like how to protect units on site, putting stone pads in front of units when it’s muddy, placement of hand sinks and so on. It’s all aimed at benefitting the end-user.”

IMAGE IS MARKETING, TOO

NSC also emphasizes less subtle forms of marketing, like new, clean and well-maintained trucks; uniformed, clean-cut drivers who are courteous and professional; and use of new technology, such as global positioning systems, which helps improve customer service.

“We purchase anything that makes us more competitive in the marketplace,” he says. “We try to stay ahead of the curve on that because it saves you money in the long run.”

The NCS fleet includes a 2006 Ford LCF with a 350-gallon waste/150-gallon steel tank, made by Best Enterprises Inc.; a 2007 International 4300 with a 1,500-waste/500-gallon freshwater aluminum Progress (Progress Tank LLC) tank; a 2008 Hino 268 with a 1,500-gallon waste/500-gallon freshwater aluminum Progress tank; a 2008 International 4300 with a 750-gallon waste/350-gallon freshwater flat steel tank from Crescent Tank Mfg.; two 2010 Hino 268s with Progress aluminum tanks (one 1,150-gallon waste/350-gallon freshwater and the other with a 1,500-gallon waste/500-gallon freshwater); and a 2007 Ford LCF flatbed truck for deliveries. All of the trucks use Masport Inc. pumps.

NSC also owns 1,100 standard portable restrooms, mostly Integra units from PolyPortables Inc.; 60 handicapped-accessible units (30 made by Satellite Industries Inc. and 30 made by PolyPortables); and two restroom trailers, a 15-footer made by JAG Mobile Solutions Inc. and a 24-footer manufactured by Comforts of Home Services Inc.

The upscale JAG trailer has four 18-inch, flat-screen televisions. Customers who run charity events or weddings often burn their own DVDs with photo slide shows and play them continuously on the TVs.

“We’ve gotten lots of positive feedback about the TVs. I’m not sure it makes us more money, but you know people talk about it,’’ McNamara says. “New equipment is a great marketing tool. We wash and clean trucks every day. We want to create the perception that we’re the best company out there … when people see our trucks, they remember us.”

GPS technology helps improve customer service. NCS uses a system made by Navtrak Inc. that provides detailed information, from how fast technicians drive to the duration of a service call to the exact time the vacuum power on trucks is turned on and off. If a customer questions whether a technician made a service call, NCS can e-mail them a GPS report that proves they did.

If there’s any question at all in a customer’s mind, though, McNamara follows the premise that the customer is always right, which means a technician will go back and re-service the units in question again. Most times, however, the report does the trick, and customers realize later on that, for example, a landscaping crew came on-site unbeknownst to them, which explains why units were full or dirty so soon after being serviced.

Can I rent a portable restroom for just one day?
Absolutely. Our special event restroom trailers and individual units can be rented by the day or for weekend rentals. We also rent units monthly.

Will the portable restroom be clean for my event?
Yes they will. NSC Restrooms take pride in the condition of our portable restrooms.

Where will you place my portable toilet?
We will place them per your instruction, however, we may have to relocate them for servicing and will make suggestions to you to ensure your guests/employees and our service people can safely access the restroom.

How far in advance do I need to reserve a portable toilet?
During peak times, we can possibly sell out, so as much lead time as you can give us. But as a minimum, we would like to have 48 hours notice and we can have your restroom delivered. For large special events or large construction projects, a week or more lead time is appreciated and advisable.

Where does the waste go after it has been pumped?
The waste water is taken to local waste water facilities and disposed of according to the regulations required by the facilities.

Am I required to have porta potties on my job site?
Most town and city ordinances spell out the requirements for portable restrooms on a job site. Town Inspectors will often require that the portable toilet is either ordered or has arrived on the site before approving the inspection.

What is the frequency of service on my portable toilet?
We service our portable restrooms once a week in order to keep them safe, clean, sanitized and stocked with supplies. If needed, we can supply service more often.

Does a portable restroom on my construction job site really cut down on expenses and time?
By supplying a portable restroom on your job site you cut down on the amount of time your employees are searching for and traveling to an alternate facility.

The following chart has been supplied by PSAI (portable sanitation association international). The annual cost of 10 minutes of wasted toilet time per employee, per day:
