Sizing guide
Start with 1 standard unit per 50 guests for a 4-hour event, a common industry guideline.
Pasadena Porta Potty Rentals
Small parties
50 guests need 1 unit for up to 4 hours, and 2 units for 6–8 hours.
Mid-size events
100 guests: 2 units for 4 hours. 200 guests: 4 units for 4 hours, 6 for 8 hours.
Serving drinks?
With alcohol, add 1 unit for every 4 units, rounded up. 150 guests, 6 hours, bar: 5 units.
Food served?
We recommend 1 hand washing station per 4 units when food is served.
Public events
At least 1 wheelchair-accessible unit per cluster and 5% of units accessible (2010 ADA Standards §213.2).
Work crews
OSHA sets minimums. We recommend 1 standard unit per 10 workers on a 40-hour week, with weekly service.
Get the count right
In 174 calls we reviewed, about two-thirds of weekend-event callers needed just one unit.
