2026 New Year's Eve party: how many porta potties for 150 guests?

Nina R.asked 0 viewsEvents & WeddingsUnits per personHow many unitsEvents and weddingsEvent planningGuest count

We're hosting a New Year's Eve party for 150 guests in Atlanta, from 7 pm to 1 am. It's a six-hour outdoor event with a champagne toast and passed appetizers, so I'm expecting heavy evening use, especially around midnight. The party is on a flat lawn at a private residence, and we have plenty of room for truck access about 20 feet from where I'd place the units. I need to decide between standard units, a couple of deluxe units, or a small restroom trailer. How many porta potties do I need for 150 guests at a party with alcohol? And should I add an ADA-compliant unit even though we don't have any guests who've requested one?

You need four portable toilets for 150 guests at a six-hour New Year's Eve party with alcohol. Use the units per person guideline as a starting point: one unit per 50 to 75 people for a four-hour event. Your party is longer, involves alcohol, and has peak use around midnight, so you need more units. I recommend four standard or deluxe units. Add an ADA-compliant unit because the ADA cluster rule requires one accessible unit in any cluster, and you cannot assume no guests need it. Your truck access at 20 feet is good. A restroom trailer is more comfortable but needs power and leveling. Standard units cost less to rent; deluxe units and trailers cost more due to features and servicing needs. Service frequency depends on use; for a one-night event, pre-event service is usually sufficient.
