If you're planning a milestone birthday, anniversary, or another special event, you may be starting to wonder whether your home or other outdoor venue has the capacity for an ever-increasing guest list. Once you take responsibility for feeding and entertaining more than a couple of dozen guests, you may run into logistical issues, especially when it comes to restroom matters. In many cases, renting a portable toilet or two can relieve the strain on your home's plumbing while ensuring no guest has to wait to use the restroom. Read on to learn more about some of the types of portable toilets you can rent and the factors you'll want to consider when deciding whether to rent a toilet.

Do You Need a Portable Toilet for Your Event? 

When considering whether to rent a portable toilet, you'll want to consider your home's sewer or septic capacity as well as the number of bathrooms you already have available. Even if you have three or four bathrooms, having each of those bathrooms in near-constant use all night could put undue strain on your septic tank or sewer lines, increasing the risk that one of these components will spring a leak. 

And if you don't have at least one restroom per dozen attendees, it's likely that your guests could be facing long lines and waits to use the restroom, which can put a crimp in any party planning. If you're planning on a large guest list or aren't sure your restrooms can accommodate all your guests, having a portable toilet or two delivered pre-party can take a load off your mind.

What Types of Portable Toilets Are Available?

If you're not sure a portable toilet will fit in with the ambiance of your event, you may want to consider a toilet trailer. Unlike the port-a-potties often seen at construction sites, marathons, or music festivals, these trailers include running sinks and air fresheners, helping guests feel as though they're in a genuine, non-portable restroom. These trailers can be dropped off and then picked up after your event has ended, allowing adequate restroom facilities with minimal hassle.

If these restrooms are going to be your only restroom facilities (for example, if you're hosting a wedding in a park or other far-flung area), you may want to consider a deluxe trailer. These trailers have attached dressing rooms, allowing for privacy and freshening up outside the room in which the toilet is located. Like other toilet trailers, these can be dropped off and picked up for you, with disposal fees built into the cost of the rental.
