Standard Portable Toilets

Portable toilets are ideal for public events, festivals, parties, school functions, construction sites, landscaping projects, industrial work environments, and other outdoor needs. Dynamite is committed to providing high-quality portable toilets for commercial and residential purposes. Whether hosting a large gathering, managing a job site with numerous workers, or accommodating a small group, having a portable toilet on-site is a practical and convenient solution. From spacious interiors to easy maintenance, our units are built to meet your sanitation needs efficiently. We offer a range of options to suit different requirements, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your event or project. Below is a walkthrough of our standard toilets' key features.

How Many Portable Toilets Are Needed?

Determining the number of portable toilets needed for various events or sites depends on several factors, including the type and duration of the event, the expected number of attendees, and local regulations. For construction sites, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides guidelines based on the number of workers. Generally, one portable toilet is recommended for every 10 workers over a 40-hour workweek. For instance, a construction site with 50 workers would require at least five portable toilets to meet basic sanitation needs and maintain productivity. For large events or festivals with high attendance, it's a good idea to consult with a rental service to make sure you meet all requirements and keep your guests comfortable.


For festivals, fairs, and other large gatherings, the demand for portable toilets increases significantly due to the high volume of attendees. Event planners often use a rule of thumb that one portable toilet can accommodate approximately 100 uses. Therefore, for an event lasting eight hours with 1,000 attendees, assuming each attendee uses the facilities once, at least twenty portable toilets would be necessary. However, this number can vary based on the availability of other facilities, the duration of the event, and the consumption of food and beverages, which can increase restroom usage. Ensuring adequate sanitation facilities is crucial for the comfort and health of attendees, as well as for meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining a positive event experience.

To determine how many portable toilets you'll need for your party, consider the number of guests, the duration of the event, and the expected usage. As a general guideline, one portable toilet can accommodate approximately 100 uses. If you're hosting a party with 100 guests for a few hours, two portable toilets might suffice. However, if the party lasts longer or involves substantial food and drink consumption, you may need additional units to ensure comfort and convenience for your guests. It's always better to have a little extra capacity to avoid long lines and maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Additionally, consider the type of event and activities planned, as this can impact the number of facilities required.


Additionally, consider the layout of your event space and place the toilets in easily accessible locations. If your event has different "activity zones," like dining, dancing, or kids’ areas, spreading out the portable toilets can help manage foot traffic and keep everyone comfortable. This setup not only improves accessibility but also reduces the need for guests to walk long distances, enhancing their overall experience. Placing clear signage near the toilets can further assist guests in finding them easily. Regular maintenance and checks throughout the event will also ensure that the facilities remain clean and functional. Providing additional amenities, such as hand sanitizers or extra lighting, can further improve the guest experience.

  • How is odor controlled in portable toilets?

    Odor is controlled through the use of deodorizing and sanitizing liquids in the waste holding tank, as well as proper ventilation. Regular servicing and cleaning also help to keep odors at bay. Also, setting up the units in areas with good airflow can help keep any bad smells to a minimum and make for a better experience for everyone using them.
