The Do’s and Don’ts of Hiring a Portable Toilet
Let’s face it, when you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go! But when it comes to hiring a portable toilet, there are a few things you need to know to keep everything running smoothly. Whether you’re at a festival, construction site, or even your neighbour’s fancy garden party, here’s our no-nonsense guide to portable toilet etiquette.
Hiring a Portable Toilet – Do’s
Find the Perfect Spot
First things first, let’s talk about where to put these lovely loos. You’ll want to find a nice level spot, away from any windows that might need opening. And make sure there’s a clear path for delivery and collection.
Keep It Accessible
Remember, these toilets aren’t just for show. Make sure they’re within 15 metres of the closest access point for service vehicles. After all, someone’s got to keep them clean and tidy!
Use It Right
When it comes to hiring a portable toilet, using them correctly is key. Always stick to the toilet paper provided in the unit. This isn’t just a random rule – there’s a good reason for it. The toilet paper supplied is specifically designed to break down easily in the tank.
Security
To prevent unauthorised access, vandalism, or misuse, it’s essential to implement proper security measures. One effective method is to secure the portable toilet with a combination padlock when it’s not being used. This simple yet important step helps protect the facility from potential damage or tampering, ensuring that it remains in good condition for your intended users.
Consider Your Options
We offer a range of portable toilet solutions to cater to various needs and preferences. Our accessible units are specifically designed for those with mobility needs, ensuring everyone can use the facilities comfortably and with dignity. These units feature wider entrances and handrails for ease of use. And if you’re looking to add a touch of class to your event, our luxury portable toilets might just surprise you.
Hiring a Portable Toilet – Don’ts
No Funny Business in the Toilet
We know it’s tempting, but please don’t use the portable toilet as your personal bin. Sanitary products, paper towels, and anything else that isn’t toilet paper should stay out. The toilet tank isn’t a magic portal to another dimension – what goes in, must come out!
Leave the Chemistry to Us
We know you aced your chemistry GCSEs, but please don’t add any chemicals to the toilet tank other than those we provide. Our toilets have a delicate ecosystem, and we’d like to keep it that way!
Hands Off
Unless you’re dealing with a mains-connected toilet, please resist the urge to play plumber. Don’t try to service or empty the toilet yourself. We have trained professionals who handle this task safely and efficiently.
No Storage Wars
Your portable toilet isn’t a storage unit. While it may seem roomy, it’s not meant for keeping your tools, snacks, or any other items you might be tempted to stash away. Keep it clear for its intended purpose – we’re sure you can guess what that is!
Mind the Numbers
Our portable toilets are popular, but they’re not meant to host a party. Stick to the recommended capacity – typically 7 people for a 40-hour work week per unit. If you’re expecting more users than that, it’s best to hire additional units.
Final Thoughts
Remember, a happy portable toilet means happy users. By following these simple do’s and don’ts, you’ll ensure a pleasant experience for everyone. And if you’re ever in doubt, just give us a ring. At Toilets+, we’re always here to talk shop!
