How many porta potties does a party need?
A backyard party of 100 guests lasting 4 hours needs 2 standard porta potties on our event planning table. A 50-guest birthday party needs 1. Add 1 unit if alcohol is served, and add 1 more if more than half of the guests are women. Longer parties need more units, as the table shows.
| Guests | 1–2 hours | 3–4 hours | 5–6 hours | 7–8 hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| 100 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| 150 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 200 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
| 300 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Worked example: a graduation open house
Say 120 guests drop by over 5 hours, and beer is on the cooler. Round 120 up to the 150 row: the 5–6 hour column says 3 units. Add 1 for alcohol, and the order is 4 standard units.
Food is on the buffet, so add 1 handwashing station. At typical starting prices of $165 per unit and $120 for the station, plus delivery from $50, that is $830 before tax. Your itemized quote is final.
For other guest counts, the porta potty calculator handles hours, alcohol and guest mix in whole numbers.

Event porta potty rental in Cincinnati: price and what comes with it
An event porta potty rental in Cincinnati is one flat price for up to 7 days on site, not a daily rate. A standard unit has a typical starting price of $165, and a deluxe flushing unit with a sink starts at $275, before tax. Delivery and pickup typically start at $50 per address.
Every standard porta potty comes with a urinal, a seat, toilet paper, a hand sanitizer dispenser and blue deodorizer. Event units come in blue, gray and pink.
A deluxe flushing unit adds a foot-pump flush and a sink inside, which suits a milestone birthday or a celebration of life with older guests. Event orders are paid at booking, with no separate deposit.
When will the porta potty arrive and leave for a weekend party?
Party porta potties arrive between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, usually the day before the party. Our trucks do not run on Sunday. A Sunday reunion or picnic gets Saturday or Friday delivery and a Monday pickup, and those extra days add no rental charge.
| Party day | Delivery | Pickup |
|---|---|---|
| Friday evening | Thursday or Friday morning | Saturday or Monday |
| Saturday | Friday | Monday |
| Sunday | Friday or Saturday | Monday |
| Weekday | Day before or that morning | Next business day |
Nobody needs to be home for delivery. Mark the spot with a cone or a sign, leave the gate open, and the driver texts a photo once the unit is set.
Where should the porta potty go in a backyard?
A backyard porta potty needs level ground, a gate at least 48 inches wide and a truck parked within about 25 feet. Set the unit about 10 feet from windows, doors and AC intakes. Keep the unit off septic lids and sprinkler heads, and away from low wires and tree limbs.
Keeping guests out of the house
Guests walk into the house when they cannot find the restroom. Put the unit where people can see it from the food table, but not right beside it. A simple sign on the back door that points to the restroom helps too.
For an evening party, set the unit near a porch light or string lights so guests can find the path after dark. The porta potty placement guide covers slopes, lawns and driveways in more detail.
Food means handwashing
Plan 1 handwashing station for every 2–3 standard units when food is served. A handwashing station has 2 foot-pump sinks with soap and paper towels, and it needs no power or water hookup.
Permits for block parties and park events in Cincinnati
A party on your own driveway or lawn needs no city permit for a porta potty. A Cincinnati block party that closes a street needs a $25 Street Blocking permit from the Cincinnati Police Special Events Unit. Cincinnati Parks events need a sanitation and waste removal plan in the event profile, due 45 days ahead.
The Special Events Unit handles special event, parade and street blocking permits; see the Cincinnati Police special event permit page. A unit set in the street or on a sidewalk can also need a DOTE right-of-way permit.
We can put the unit count and delivery dates on your quote so you can paste them into the sanitation plan. Read our guide to Cincinnati event permits and restrooms, and confirm the rules with your permit office or venue.

Party porta potty questions
Will two porta potties be enough for 100 guests?
Two standard porta potties cover 100 guests for a party of 3–6 hours on our event planning table. Add 1 unit if alcohol is served and 1 more if more than half the guests are women. A 7–8 hour party for 100 guests needs 3 units before those adjustments.
Can you drop it off the day before the party?
Day-before delivery is the usual plan for parties, and the flat event price covers up to 7 days on site. A Friday drop for a Saturday graduation party costs the same as a Saturday-morning drop. Request a before-9 a.m. or before-noon window, and the driver texts about 30 minutes ahead.
Our party is on a Sunday. When will you pick it up?
Sunday parties get the unit on Saturday or Friday and a Monday pickup, because our trucks do not run on Sunday. Those extra days add no rental charge. Leave the unit where it stands after the party, and the driver collects it Monday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
How wide does my gate need to be for a backyard porta potty?
A standard porta potty needs a gate at least 48 inches wide and a level path to reach a backyard. A wheelchair-accessible unit needs about 66 inches. Units are not carried through houses or garages, and the truck must park within about 25 feet of the unit.
Do you have pink porta potties for a party?
Pink, gray and blue standard porta potties are available for events. Ask for the color when you book so dispatch loads the right unit. A standard event unit has a typical starting price of $165 for up to 7 days, before tax; your itemized quote is final.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty at a block party in Cincinnati?
A Cincinnati block party that closes a street needs a $25 Street Blocking permit from the Cincinnati Police Special Events Unit. A unit placed in the street or on a sidewalk can also need a DOTE right-of-way permit. Units on a private driveway or lawn need no city permit.
Does the porta potty get cleaned during the party?
A party unit arrives cleaned, sanitized and stocked, and a 1- or 2-day event does not need a cleaning visit. Multi-day events can add between-day service, quoted per visit. Ordering the right number of units matters more than a mid-party cleaning, so start with the guest-count table on this page.
Is there a church or nonprofit discount for a picnic?
Tax-exempt churches and nonprofits can send their exemption certificate, and sales tax comes off the quote. Multi-unit rates are available on request when a picnic needs several units. The flat event price still covers up to 7 days on site, so a Friday drop for a Sunday picnic adds no rental charge.
