How many porta potties do I need for my party?
A party of up to 50 guests for 4 hours needs 1 standard porta potty. A 4–8 hour party needs 1 unit per 35 guests, and a party over 8 hours needs 1 per 25. Add 1 unit per 100 guests if alcohol is served, and 1 hand-wash station for every 2 toilets when food is served.
| Event (hypothetical examples) | Guests · hours | Toilets | Hand-wash |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kid's backyard birthday with cake | 40 · 3 hrs | 1 standard | 1 |
| Funeral reception at home | 60 · 3 hrs | 2 standard | 1 |
| Family reunion with a cookout | 80 · 6 hrs | 3 standard | 2 |
| Backyard party with beer | 100 · 5 hrs | 3 + 1 for alcohol = 4 | 2 |
| Graduation party with food | 120 · 5 hrs | 4 standard | 2 |
| Church outreach in a park | 150 · 4 hrs | 3 (1 wheelchair-accessible) | 2 |
Public events in parks often need a wheelchair-accessible unit. One church in our call logs was told by the park that it needed 2 units, 1 of them accessible. See the wheelchair-accessible porta potty for specs, or the full porta potty sizing guide for more examples.
Event porta potty calculator
Method: Brandon Rental Works house rule — 1 unit per 50 guests up to 4 hours, 1 per 35 for 4–8 hours, 1 per 25 beyond 8 hours, always rounded up; accessible count from 2010 ADA Standards §213.2 (5%, minimum 1).
When do you drop off and pick up for a weekend party?
A weekend party porta potty is usually dropped off Thursday or Friday and picked up Monday. The extra days cost nothing, because 1 flat event price covers 1–5 days on site. Saturday delivery runs 7 am to 7 pm if Friday does not work for your site.
- Book with the date, ZIP and guest count. Peak weekends fill up, so call early.
- Pay the itemized invoice by card or secure online link to hold the date.
- Get your delivery window. Dispatch sets a 4-hour window and the driver texts about 30 minutes ahead.
- Mark the spot. A cone, flag or texted photo. Nobody has to be home.
- Enjoy the party. No cleaning on your end; just keep the door latched when not in use.
- Monday pickup. The driver loads it from the same spot. Leave the path clear.

Most hosts put the party porta potty on the side of the house near the trash cans, away from the food table. The spot must be level and firm. A standard 43.5-inch-wide unit needs a gate at least 48 inches wide to reach a backyard, and our crew can cart an empty unit about 25 feet.
- Out of the way, not out of sight. Guests should find it without asking, but it should not face the patio.
- Not in front of the garage or front door. Cars and guests need those paths.
- Sloped driveway? Pick the flattest nearby spot, like a mulched bed or lawn edge.
- Lights after dark. A path light or lantern near the door helps evening guests.
- Low wires. Cable lines over the driveway must be 12 feet up or we need another route.
More spacing and access tips are in the porta potty placement guide.

Do I need a hand-wash station for a kids' party?
A kids' party with food should have 1 hand-wash station next to the porta potty. Kids wash after the toilet, before cake and after the bounce house without crowding the unit. Our 2-sink PolyJohn Bravo station has foot pumps, soap and paper towels, and holds about 34 gallons of fresh water.
Hand washing was one of the most common add-ons in our calls. Parents liked that a station outside the unit keeps the toilet free for the next guest.
| Option | Where the sink is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard unit + hand-wash station | Separate, outside | Kids' parties, cookouts, crowds |
| Deluxe flushing unit | Inside the unit | Adult parties, showers, smaller crowds |
| Standard unit only | None (sanitizer inside) | Short gatherings without food |
Compare the hand-wash station and the deluxe flushing unit with sink before you choose.

Yes. A party porta potty keeps guest traffic off a home septic system, because the 60-gallon holding tank in a standard unit catches the waste instead. Rural Denton County hosts with septic tanks rent 1 unit for this reason. We pump the unit at our yard after pickup, so nothing goes into your system.
A typical septic tank is sized for the people who live in the house, not for a crowd. A big party in one afternoon can overload the drain field. A clogged system after a party costs far more than one rental.
- Ask guests to use the porta potty, and keep the house bathroom for family.
- Place the unit away from the septic lid and the drain field, so the truck does not drive over them.
- Sandy ground near Krum, Ponder and Argyle can bog a truck. Pick a spot near the driveway.
The full explainer is in septic systems and party porta potties.
Can I rent a porta potty for a funeral, reunion, graduation or church outreach?
Yes. Funerals, family reunions, graduation parties and church outreach events are booked as 1 flat event rental in Denton. Each event type has a different timing need: a funeral may need same-day delivery, while graduation weekends in May and December sell out 2–3 weeks ahead. Tell dispatch the event type when you call.
Funerals and family gatherings
Short notice is normal. Call by noon Monday–Saturday for same-day delivery in Denton County. We place the unit to the side, away from the gathering, and pick it up the next business day.
Graduation parties
UNT and TWU graduation weekends in May and December are some of our busiest dates. Book 2–3 weeks ahead. Food is almost always served, so plan 1 hand-wash station per 2 toilets.
Church outreach and park events
Parks may require a wheelchair-accessible unit. Plan at least 1 per cluster (5% minimum). Mark the exact spot on a map, like "next to the soccer field by the big tree," and we put it there.
Birthdays and reunions
Most are single-day backyard events. Use the calculator above, add hand washing when food is served, and plan a Friday drop with Monday pickup.
