Event portable toilets in Dallas are usually set out in groups near food, stages and entrances. Plan from the head count, how long people stay and whether alcohol is served, and check whether your event needs a city permit.
How Many to Order
A common starting point is about 1 unit per 100 guests for a few hours, with more for all-day events, alcohol and hot weather. Run your numbers with the portable toilet calculator.
ADA Units in Every Group
Under the 2010 ADA Standards, 5 percent of the portable toilets clustered at each location must be accessible, and fractions round up to a whole unit. See ADA-accessible units.
City of Dallas Permits
The City of Dallas requires a special event permit for outdoor gatherings of 100 or more people that install portable toilets for public use. The city's permit letter sets the restroom requirement, and more restrooms may be required if attendance tops 100,000 in a day or the event runs over 10 hours a day. Read Dallas event permits.
Food Vendors
Texas rules for temporary food establishments require conveniently located toilets and hand-washing with warm water, soap and disposable towels.
