Answers for Your Porta Potty/Restroom Trailer Questions
On this page, we have compiled answers to the most common questions we hear about porta potties and restroom trailers. Whether you are planning a special event or managing a project, these answers may be able to help you understand how our product works and what to expect when renting from Showbiz Restrooms.
What is the blue liquid in porta potties?
The blue liquid in porta potties is a deodorizer designed to control odors and maintain hygiene. It typically contains biocides to prevent bacterial growth, fragrance to mask unpleasant smells, and dye to give it its signature blue color. Over time, the liquid changes color as it interacts with waste, signaling when it’s time for a service or refill.
How does a porta potty work?
A porta potty is a self-contained, chemical toilet. Waste collects in a holding tank beneath the toilet seat, which contains the blue deodorizing liquid to neutralize odors and break down waste. Air vents help circulate fresh air, and some models include hand sanitizers or sinks. The unit operates without plumbing, making it convenient for outdoor events or construction sites. Once full, it is emptied by professionals using specialized equipment.
Where to rent a porta potty?
You can rent a porta potty from specialized rental companies like Showbiz Restrooms that offer standard and luxury options. Reach out to our team to discuss your needs, event size, and location, and we’ll recommend the ideal unit for your event or project. We provide delivery, setup, and removal, ensuring a hassle-free experience from start to finish.
How are porta potties emptied?
Porta potties are emptied by professional sanitation crews using vacuum trucks. The waste is suctioned from the holding tank into the truck’s tank and transported to a licensed disposal facility. After the waste is removed, the unit is cleaned, sanitized, and restocked with deodorizing liquid and toilet paper to prepare it for the next use.
How many porta potties is appropriate for 100 guests?
For 100 guests at an event lasting around four hours, we recommend having at least 2-3 porta potties to avoid long lines. If alcohol is being served or the event lasts longer, increasing the number to 4-5 units ensures comfort for all guests. Luxury restroom trailers can also provide an upscale experience with multiple stalls and amenities.
How much do restroom trailers cost to rent?
The cost of renting a restroom trailer varies based on the size, amenities, and rental duration. For accurate pricing, contact us with your event details, and we’ll provide a free, customized quote.
What is a luxury porta potty?
A luxury porta potty takes portable restrooms to the next level, offering amenities similar to indoor bathrooms. These units are spacious, climate-controlled, and feature flushing toilets, running water sinks and LED lighting. Perfect for weddings, VIP events, and film sets, luxury porta potties provide a comfortable and stylish experience for guests.
