How to Choose the Best Onsite Portable Restroom for Your Project

Blog Home / WillScot Solutions / How to Choose the Best Onsite Portable Restroom for Your Project

Portable sanitation is an essential component of every remote project. Whether it’s an urban construction site or rural energy exploration, providing quality restrooms can keep your customers and your workforce more comfortable, more productive and healthy while on the job.

Selecting the right sanitation solution can be a complex consideration. Key factors like the size of your team, access to city water and sewer, available space and budget are just a few of the things you’ll want to want to take into account.

To help you navigate the range of portable restroom options, here is a quick guide to selecting the best option for your team and project.

How to Choose the Best Onsite Portable Restroom for Your Project

There are three basic types of onsite restrooms, each with their own unique pros and cons. Here’s a quick look at those options and their benefits and drawbacks, so you can make an informed decision when outfitting your project.

Portable Toilets

Commonly referred to in the industry as porta-potties or porta johns, portable toilets are the simplest solution to your sanitation needs.

Pros:

  • Inexpensive
  • Smaller footprint
  • Easily relocatable
  • Scalable for any size site and team
  • Available ADA-compliant units

Cons:

  • Often not as clean as other options
  • Not aesthetically pleasing
  • Less than ideal in harsh weather
In-Unit Restrooms

Typically situated inside a mobile office or temporary building, in-unit restrooms are a convenient option that provides additional privacy and comfort.

Pros:

  • Permanent amenities
  • More privacy and security
  • Connect to a holding tank or city sewage/water
  • Comfortable in all weather conditions
  • Available ADA-compliant facilities

Cons:

  • Not ideal for larger teams
  • Additional traffic through the office can be disruptive
Toilet Trailers

Toilet trailers are the most versatile portable restroom option, providing solutions for small events and large projects alike.

Pros:

  • Permanent restroom feel and experience
  • Good for larger team sizes
  • Connect to a holding tank or city sewage/water
  • Comfortable in all weather conditions
  • Available ADA-compliant facilities

Cons:

  • Larger footprint
  • More expensive
  • Additional maintenance
Restroom Maintenance Services

Make sure to include cleaning and pump out services in your sanitation solution. Keeping restrooms clean, functional, and fully stocked with the essentials is every bit as important as having the facilities onsite.

Pump out Service

Pumping out waste tanks at regular intervals ensures your facilities are always operational. And, let’s face it, no one wants to deal with full waste tanks or, even worse, shutting down a site due to lack of restrooms.

Cleaning Service

Keeping restrooms clean and well stocked keeps customers and employees more comfortable and healthy.

A quality service partner will recommend pump out and cleaning intervals based on your facilities and usage.

Choose a Reliable Restroom Provider

Finding the right provider can take the headache out of the sanitation conundrum. Choosing one provider that can deliver everything will save you the headache of managing multiple vendors.

WillScot, along with its partner suppliers, offers a full range of onsite restrooms as well as restroom maintenance services to help keep your team and your project on track.
