How Many Porta Potties Do You Need for an Event in Atlanta?

Planning an event in Atlanta, Marietta, Alpharetta, or surrounding areas? One of the most overlooked—but critical—elements of a successful event is sanitation. Whether it’s a wedding, festival, corporate gathering, or construction project, having the right number of porta potties ensures guest comfort, health compliance, and event flow.

In this guide, we’ll help you estimate how many portable restrooms you need, so you can rent with confidence from True Loo, Atlanta’s trusted name in portable restroom rental.

✅ General Rule of Thumb

For events under 8 hours with standard food and beverage service:

  • 1 porta potty per 50 people

For longer events or those with alcohol service, increase this by 15–25%.

Number of Guests Minimum Units Needed
50 1
100 2
250 3–5
500 6–8
1,000+ 12+

💡 Pro Tip: Always round up! Extra units reduce lines, improve hygiene, and leave a better impression.
