How many porta potties does a festival need?
Festivals use the PSAI special-events chart, which counts by crowd and hours. 1,000 people for 6 hours need 9 units, 2,000 people for 6 hours need 16, and 5,000 people for 8 hours need 50. The chart assumes no pumping during the event, so an overnight service can cover day two.
| People | 2 hrs | 4 hrs | 6 hrs | 8 hrs | 10 hrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 12 |
| 1,000 | 6 | 8 | 9 | 12 | 13 |
| 2,000 | 6 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 25 |
| 3,000 | 9 | 16 | 24 | 30 | 38 |
| 5,000 | 15 | 25 | 38 | 50 | 63 |
| 10,000 | 25 | 50 | 75 | 100 | 125 |

What callers ask before they book
Every question below was asked on a real rental call. The short answer comes first, then the conditions that change it.
What do 20 or 30 units cost for a big event?
Orders of 10 or more standard units start at $215 per unit for a weekend, delivery and pickup included. Add accessible units at about 1 in 20 and handwash stations at 1 per 10 toilets. We send a written quote by text so your committee can compare.
Do I need an ADA unit?
For public events, plan at least 5% of the units in each cluster as accessible, and never fewer than one. Private parties need one only if a guest uses a wheelchair or walker. If an inspector will check, rent the ADA-compliant model with paperwork.
Can I rent porta potties for a game-day tailgate?
Yes, for private lots, businesses and organized tailgates near Jones AT&T Stadium and around town. Plan about 1 unit per 50 tailgaters for 6 hours, plus extra if alcohol is served. Get permission from the lot owner, and book by the Tuesday of game week.
Do I need a handwashing station?
Add one whenever food is served, at petting zoos, and on jobsites where crews handle paint, coatings or chemicals. Plan 1 station per 10 toilets. Deluxe units have their own sink, which covers small parties.
Can I add a service visit?
Yes, from $80 a visit. Big jobsites, three-day events and tailgate lots often add one. For multi-day festivals, the most useful slot is overnight between day one and day two.
Can you work with my budget?
Often, yes. Booking further ahead, choosing standard instead of deluxe, grouping units on one drop, or taking a weekday delivery all lower the price. Tell us your number and we'll show what fits. We won't cut servicing to hit it.
