There are many different types of outdoor events being planned right now, and some are already taking place.  Luckily, there’s a portable sanitation solution for all of them.  You could be planning a party or festival, wedding, barbeque, camping trip, parade or athletic event. For each situation, there’s a specific type of portable restroom need and we’re here to give you some pointers on how you can select the best portable toilet rental or restroom trailer rental for your next event!

1. St. Patrick’s Day Parties and Festivals

You don’ tneed the Luck O’ the Irish to plan a great St. Patrick’s Day Event, just some good planning and good help.  The needs for your outdoor event could vary widely. You may only need a single portable toilet rental in your backyard, or multiple portable toilet rentals for guests in attendance as well as a restroom trailer rental for stage crew and staff. Follow our Event Planning Guide so that we can provide you with a perfect amount of portable toilet and restroom trailer rentals.

2. Outdoor Weddings – First, you want to think about the guests that will be present.  Are you having a wedding of 50 or a wedding of 500.  Quantity is going to be of first importance here.  After talking with one of our event planning experts, you’ll know exactly how many portable restrooms will be in need for the nuptials and reception. Next, you’ll want to think about the amenities.  Sure, you’re guests could probably make do (no pun intended) with standard portable toilets, but what if you’re going full out and putting on the ritz?  That’s where a luxury restroom trailer rental comes into place.  With many different options available, you could have between 1 and 5 restrooms on each side (Men and Women’s) of the restroom trailer, along with built in family rooms, showers for extended stays at your location and even flat screen TV’s!

3. Campground Vacations – Who doesn’t like to go camping for a weekend of fun in the woods? Boy scout Jamborees and hiking groups are often found vacationing in the wilderness. That vacation is even better when you have an RV or public restrooms available on site.  If you don’t have one of those available, another sanitary solution is at hand and you probably already guessed it.  That’s right; a portable restroom rental can serve as the perfect place to take a break without breaking leaves from the nearest tree.  Standard portable restrooms are available, as well as shower trailer rentals to keep you feeling fresh and clean (unless you don’t mind the smell of the wild!)

4. Athletic Events (Races and more!)  –   If you’re an outdoor athlete, you know how quickly a restroom visit can become an emergency.  It becomes even more of a priority if you are in the middle of participation at an athletic event.  Runners, Cyclists, Triathletes and more find that there is no greater need than the use of a portable toilet rental before an event.  Standard portable restroom units are most likely to be rented for these types of events, although race directors and coordinators may want the exclusive use of a restroom trailer rental on hand.

5. Parades – Parades are always fun to attend and a great place to take the whole family.  The retailers along the route will enjoy the sales brought into their stores, but may not always provide a place for their patrons to use the bathroom.  Many event planners and production companies have called in a few of Don’s Johns finest event restroom rentals for the families watching the parade.  These planners also like to rent restroom trailers for people in the parade to use the bathroom at both the beginning and end of their parade route.

6. Barbecues – Ribs, chicken and watermelon, oh my! Everyone loves to come to a barbecue.  It can either be in your backyard or at a national barbecue cook-off; it doesn’t matter to the swaths of yearly picnic patrons! If you’re having a traditional barbecue, it’s always wise to have a portable toilet rental on your property.  This is going to save you a lot of headaches when it comes to people going in and out of your house to use the john.   If you’re planning a complex cook-off, it’s best to talk with one of our event planning experts about how to set up the proper sanitation stations, including our restroom trailer rental services, quad wash portable sinks and stands stocked with hand wipes and foam.
