Toilets FAQ’s

Although the exact size varies by manufacturer, the holding tank of a standard portable toilet is between 50 and 70 gallons, which can handle 75-100 uses. For construction, we recommend 1 porta potty for every 10 employees. For a 4 hr event, we recommend 1 porta potty event for every 50 guests. However, if you are serving alcohol, we would recommend 1 porta potty for every 35 guests. We suggest you err on the side of caution, too many porta potties is a small problem, too few is a big problem.

Yes you can. porta potties have to be placed on a dry, level surface and should be no more than 25 ft of where it can be serviced. We have certain restrictions based on accessing for service, but will do our best to accommodate your specific request.

Since not all portable toilets have a sink, our most recommended and popular accessory is hand sanitizer. This greatly improves the portable toilet experience, and keeps workers and event guests healthy in the process.

The hand washing stations are stand alone units and have a reservoir of fresh water. The units are stocked with hand soap and paper towels which is included in the price. The water is controlled by a foot pump at the base of the unit which supplies water to the spout when pressed.

For recurring units, we generate invoices every 28 days. If the unit is requested to be removed prior to the end of the billing cycle, there would be no additional fees.

After confirming the rental with the connected hauler, there is an email and text confirmation sent to the customer confirming the unit is on schedule and what day it will be delivered on.

The standard frequency of service is one time per week. Along with weekly cleaning, the supplies within the unit are replenished. You can elect to increase the number of weekly cleanings depending on the needs of your site.

When it comes to placing a porta potty, there are a few locations that should be avoided at all costs. 1.) Avoid placing the porta potty near any water source, such as a river, lake or pond. This can cause contamination and harm to the environment. 2.) Avoid placing the porta potty near any food service areas or areas where people might be eating. 3.) Avoid high traffic areas or places where people might gather, such as entrances or exits. This can cause congestion and an unpleasant experience for everyone involved. 4.) Avoid slopes, slopes make it easier for the porta potty to fall over 5.) Avoid your yard. You can place a porta potty on your yard but if the truck has to drive onto your yard you risk damaging your yard and any irrigation systems.

There are 3 primary diffences. 1.) Intended Use: Event portable toilets are designed for temporary events such as festivals and weddings, while construction portable toilets are used in construction sites for an extended period of time. 2.) Features: Event portable toilets are typically newer and may have features like hand sanitizer dispensers, ventilation, and a more aesthetically pleasing design, whereas construction porta potties are more basic in design and functionality. 3.) Durability: Construction portable toilets are built to be more durable and withstand heavy use and harsh conditions, while event portable toilets may not be designed to endure the same level of heavy use and abuse.

Firstly, make sure that any contents inside the porta potty don't spill out by closing the lid if possible. Next, assess any damage to the porta potty itself - if it appears to be structurally sound, you can try to right it with assistance from someone else. However, if the porta potty appears damaged or unstable, it's best to contact your ASAP Advisor and we will take care of the situation for you.

These units are wheelchair accessible restrooms that are A.D.A. compliant for use at an event or on a jobsite. They are larger than the average portable toilet and meet the standards that have been outlined by the ‘Americans with Disabilities Act’.

The process of winterizing a portable restroom is something everyone who manages events or construction sites in cold regions should be aware of. Temperatures are rarely below freezing long enough to harden the wastewater in the South and Southwest, but people in Northern states, the Midwest, or Canada should confirm that winterizing portable toilets is part of their rental agreement in the winter season. Our number one tip to keep your porta potty from freezing is to have us deposit a chloride pellet mix into the toilet bowl with every servicing. ASAP Site Services will winterize your portable restroom rentals for a fee of $30 per unit.
