Tips and Advice

When planning the placement of your temporary restroom, it's important to consider the following:    

Location:  The location should be easily accessible for a truck to unload the restroom.  The site should also be dry and level so the truck will not get stuck and the restroom will not sink or become unbalanced. If the ground is saturated, it may be best to locate the portable toilet on the street or driveway instead.

Placement:  Carefully consider the size of the unit you have chosen.  Add to the measurement to ensure proper placement.  If the unit chosen is a trailer, consider what will be adjacent to it when it is being delivered and maneuvered by a truck to fit in to the space.  Discuss any constraints carefully with your account executive or project manager.  Don’t leave out any detail, as it could have an effect on the success of placement.

Service:  If any servicing is required during your event, the service vehicle must be able to enter the site and maneuver as close as possible to the restroom to perform the service. 

Note: You must be aware that the noise created when the vacuum truck is pumping a restroom is at a high level.  This may cause a disturbance and should be considered when scheduling service.
