Sizing guide

How many porta potties do I need?

The fast rule, with real numbers, from Grand Island's porta potty crew.

The base rule

1 unit per 50 guests

That covers an event of up to 4 hours. A 100-guest open house needs 2 units.

Longer events

Scale by hours ÷ 4

A 200-guest, 8-hour festival needs 8 units. Round up to a whole unit.

Alcohol and food

Add in whole steps

Add 1 unit for every 4 when alcohol is served. Add 1 hand-wash station for every 4 units when food is served.

Public events

At least 1 accessible unit

The 2010 ADA Standards call for at least 5% of units in each cluster to be accessible, and never fewer than one.
