There are a number of different reasons why you might want to rent a portable toilet for your home. If you're having a wedding on your property, for example, all of your guests are going to need a convenient place to go to the bathroom without trampling through your house. A tailgate party before the big game would be another situation where a portable toilet would certainly come in handy. If you're hiring a construction crew for a big project that will take a significant period of time, you might need to rent a portable toilet as part of your service contract. Another reason you may need to rent a porta potty is if there is a temporary problem with your plumbing. No matter the actual reason, renting a portable toilet for your home is not necessarily as difficult as many people assume it to be. (more…)
At gotügo we consider ourselves more than just portable toilet providers. We want to make sure that whatever kind of event you’re planning is planned properly! We’ve gathered a list of 8 tips that will help you plan a great outdoor party that your friends will talk about for years to come!
Outdoor parties give you the opportunity to be at your most creative. Many of us think of such parties typically happening on rolling lawns or in large back yards, but the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Forest locations, historic sites, and city venues are all candidates. Some of these places may require permits. If you’re interested in a particular site, don’t exclude it until you’ve inquired about it. When you’re in the planning stages of your next exciting get together event, open your mind to the many possibilities. (more…)
You know you need a porta potty rental, that’s the easy part. Now you just need to figure out which model will serve you the best, and how many of them will be sufficient. While this may sound like a daunting task, it’s really pretty simple.
It all comes down to how many people will be in attendance, and how long they will be there for. Essentially, you should have one unit for every 75 people, and then add on one unit for every four-hour increment. For example: a six-hour wedding celebration is going to have 200 guests, so you need four units (200/75=2.66, round up to three, and then add one more because the event is over four hours). Not too fond of math? Don’t worry. Gotügo has created an easy-to-use table to figure out the perfect number of rentals for your situation. (more…)
When you are planning a special outdoors event, especially one that involves a large number of guests, it’s important to remember just how crucial it is to arrange for proper bathroom facilities. If your event is not outside but is slated to take place in a remote location with few amenities, you will also need to take care of providing additional bathrooms.
As you consider your options for renting porta potties, you don’t have to settle for individual porta potty accommodations. Instead, you will want to rent an executive restroom to ensure that all your guests will be comfortable, relaxed, and unhurried on event day. (more…)
Don't call it a conspiracy. Perhaps just call it an oversight that a ADA porta potty does not always find its way to events where at least one is needed. The disabled compose such a small minority of the population that unless the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires ADA-accessible porta potties at functions, they often get overlooked in porta potty rental plans.
Large events with porta potty rental of 20 units or more might include one ADA rental, but smaller events frequently fail to consider that someone with a ADA may attend. This not only makes the experience less enjoyable for the disabled individual, but inconveniences others as well. If an event is so small it only needs one unit, then that unit should be a ADA porta potty just to ensure that everyone's sanitary needs are met. If the event needs only two porta potties --one for men and one for women-- they should both be suitable for the disabled.
Many specific requirements apply to portable sanitary facilities. For example, smokestack ventilation is always important because it takes any displeasing fragrance from the unit and moves it above the crowds. Insufficient ventilation around the unit can foul an event for everyone.
Disabled access means wheelchair accessibility, which means wider doors and level bases. It takes only a small obstruction to block a wheelchair. Units with access near the ground, rather than access on the ground, often work best. Near-ground access means the unit has a thicker floor. With near-ground access, event planners can prepare the ground to make the entrance level, or simply add a small ramp and threshold. (more…)
Are you planning an outdoor event this season like a wedding, a graduation or a church picnic? With all of the details to arrange, one of the things that can get easily overlooked is ordering portable restrooms for your guests. Having facilities for your outdoor party allows guests to enjoy themselves without having to leave early to go find a restroom or without dozens of people tromping through your house looking for the bathroom.
