A practical planning guide from Briony Portable Toilets.
This checklist walks through every sanitation decision for an outdoor event, in the order you should make them. Print it, mark it up, and share it with your venue and rental provider before you finalize your order.
Confirm final headcount and event duration. Choose unit types (standard, ADA, luxury trailer, handwashing stations). Request written quotes from two providers. Confirm delivery-day access with the venue. Reserve your rental — peak weekends book fast.
Finalize placement diagram. Confirm ground conditions and access routes. Order signage — 'restrooms,' 'accessible restroom,' 'wash before eating.' Assign an on-site contact who will meet the delivery driver and authorize any changes.
Verify unit count matches order. Confirm each unit is clean, stocked, and functional. Walk through the placement diagram with the driver. Confirm the service schedule in writing. Exchange direct contact info between your event coordinator and our dispatch.
Visually inspect every unit and handwashing station at least once per hour. Report supply outages or damage to the vendor immediately. Keep a runner on standby for restock or emergency service. Watch for lines forming — a persistent line means you underordered and need mid-event support.
Confirm pickup time. Ensure all guests have vacated the units. Note any unit damage or exceptional cleaning needs — most providers do not charge for standard wear. Retain your service log for compliance documentation if the event was permitted.
Alcohol served: +20% capacity, additional handwashing. Food served: handwashing stations at food entries, signage required. Under-18 attendance: family-sized units or luxury trailer stalls. Public event: minimum one ADA unit per bank, signage indicating accessible-unit location.
Do not underorder — every complaint you get post-event will be about this. Do not place units downwind of dining or lounge areas. Do not skip handwashing stations. Do not book last-minute in peak season. Do not accept verbal-only quotes.
