Tried & True Portable Restroom Rental Tips
When does a product or service become perfect? – when the steps toward the completion of that product or service are repeated enough times to iron out the kinks and flaws. The first 'automobile', for example, was born in 1879 but reached its pinnacle of perfection in 1885. The same idea holds true when it comes to offering portable restroom rentals – products and services that are perfected, over the years, through trial and error.

Make sure you:
Determine the 'Feel' of Your Event
Sometimes renting portable restrooms is strictly practical. At a music concert or farmers' market, offering basic portable restrooms makes the most sense. When hundreds upon hundreds of attendees are expected, guests just want to do their business, leave the restroom facility as quickly as possible, and get on with the event's activities.
Westway Site Services, formerly Moore Cans' basic port-a-potties would serve that need, to a 'T'. They are spotless and comfortable, and if the event spans more than one day, our maintenance team will make sure your port-a-potties are immaculate and ready for the next day's festivities.
Then, of course, there are more swanky events such as milestone anniversaries, outdoor weddings/receptions, bachelor/bachelorette parties, formal poolside cocktail parties, etc where 'image' is a prime consideration. Westway Site Services, formerly Moore Cans has very affordable one-person facilities with flushing commodes as well as stunning Luxury Restroom Trailers that accommodate multiple users, simultaneously. These upscale models offer all the comforts of home: flushing commodes, vanities w/sinks & running water, temperature control for any season, private stalls, lovely interiors, outdoor lighting, and much more.
Let Westway Site Services, formerly Moore Cans know the 'feel' of your event and we'll offer suggestions regarding our portable restroom inventory that would, perfectly, align with the ambiance of your event.
Estimate the Number of Guests
Regardless of how informal or 'uptown' your event might be, you want to make sure you have enough portable restrooms to, adequately, accommodate guests. Having people wait in line and become frustrated is never good for business nor does it bode well with maintaining a pristine image. You can use our handy online guide to help you determine how many units your event would require. You can, also, give our office a call and we will be happy to assist with the calculating, right over the phone.
It's important to keep in mind that the number of anticipated attendees is only the beginning determiner when calculating how many portable toilets you would need. You'll want to take into account a few other details: 1) the duration of the event 2) if there will be more women attending than men and 3) if alcohol will be served. Also, if the weather will be hot, guests will consume far more liquids which will generate more bathroom visits.
Stay Ahead of the Weather
Definitely be ready for any contingency as far as weather is concerned since, obviously, weather can alter some of the planning details. Be proactive and remain aware of what the weather might throw your way on the day or days of your event. If your event will be held during hotter or colder times of the year, don't let the temperatures discourage you! Westway Site Services, formerly Moore Cans has an array of luxury restroom trailers that provide AC or heat to ensure guests will be delightfully comfortable.
If you know it might drizzle or be windy during a farmers' market, for example, we can make plans to place your portable restrooms in a more-sheltered area to ensure guests enjoy a more pleasant restroom experience.
Decide If Wheel-chair-Accessible Units Will Be Needed
If people with physical challenges are expected at your public event, wheel-chair accessible or ADA-compliant units must be made available. Westway Site Services, formerly Moore Cans offers wheel-chair accessible portable toilets with thoughtfully-designed features to ensure maximized safety and ease-of-maneuverability. ADA regulations state that you must provide one standard wheelchair-accessible portable toilet for every ten standard portable restroom units.
Consider Where Units Will Be Placed
No IFs, ANDs, or BUTs – all portable toilets need to be placed on solid, flat surfaces to be serviced and to be used, safely. Paved surfaces are ideal but if that option is not available, ground that is flat and stable will work well, too. Regardless of where your portable toilets might be placed, the possibility of vandals and pranksters entering the area after hours should not be dismissed. Troublemakers get their kicks by attempting to tip over portable toilets. To discourage this behavior, prop portable restrooms up against a building or wall, in a row. Portable restrooms can, also, be tightly staked to the ground to prevent tip-overs from not just pranksters, but from high winds. Give us a call and we can discuss this particular detail.
Also, if your event will continue into night hours, be sure your portable toilets are in a well-lit area to make them easily accessible and optimally safet – Safety must, always, be the first consideration.
By addressing the five suggestions, above, you will be well on your way to maximizing the success factor of your event and minimizing any undue stress. Have a list of questions, ready – the only thing left to do would be to:
