Who knew? Who knew that renting portable restrooms could come with so many choices?

While this experience is real, it is also avoidable. There are many ways you can offer your guests a more pleasurable portable restroom experience. Ask yourself questions like; how many potties will be needed? What types of units will be suitable for your function? Including hand sanitizer or a portable hand washing station? Amount of time the units will be needed? If renting for an extended period of time, how often will the porta potty units be cleaned?
