How many people can use one standard porta potty?
One standard porta potty serves about 10 workers for a 40-hour week with one weekly service, per PolyJohn’s guidance. For a party, one unit covers about 50 guests for 4 hours. Longer events, alcohol and food push that number down, so add units using the sizing chart.
| Use | One unit covers | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Construction crew, 40 h/week | up to 10 workers | Weekly |
| Party or event, 4 hours | about 50 guests | None needed |
| Party or event, 8 hours | about 25 guests | None needed |
| Home remodel, 2–4 people | the whole household | Weekly |
Will a standard porta potty fit through my gate?
A standard porta potty needs a gate at least 4 feet wide. The PJN3 is 43.5 inches wide, and the crew needs a few inches on each side to move it by hand. A 36-inch garden gate is too narrow, so we place the unit just outside the gate or along the driveway.
Standard porta potty questions
Is there a light inside a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty has no electric light. The translucent roof lets in daylight. For evening events, set a battery lantern or string lights outside the door, or choose a restroom trailer, which has built-in lighting.
Can I lock the porta potty at night?
The door has a hasp that takes a standard padlock. Bring your own lock and leave the key or code with the site contact so our service driver can get in on service day.
How long until a standard porta potty is full?
The 60-gallon tank lasts about a week for a 10-person crew. Heavier use fills it sooner. If the tank is filling before service day, call and we add a visit or a second unit.
Does a standard unit have a sink?
A standard unit has a hand-sanitizer dispenser, not a sink. If you need soap and water, rent a flushing unit with a sink or add a hand-wash station.
Can I move the porta potty myself?
Please do not move a unit with waste in the tank, because it can tip and spill. Call us and we relocate it, usually on the next service visit.
