Planning an Outdoor Holiday Event? Don’t Forget the Logistics

The holiday season is the best time of year to connect with others. Event planners all across Volusia County are preparing for fun seasonal gatherings like backyard parties, holiday markets, weddings, or outdoor religious services. Behind every successful event is thoughtful planning, and that includes making sure your guests have everything they need to stay comfortable from start to finish.

When it comes to outdoor event logistics, convenient restroom access and waste management aren’t usually at the top of the priority list. Planning for these necessities isn’t exciting, but neglecting them can lead to major issues and unhappy guests. Luckily, planning for restroom access, dumpster rentals, and even hauling services doesn’t have to be a burden when you have an outdoor services contractor you can trust.

At CFB Outdoors, we handle some of the important logistics so you can focus on making your party memorable. For clean restrooms DeLand residents trust, turn to us for all of your winter event rentals.

Portable Toilet Rentals For Outdoor Events

It’s so easy to overlook restroom access, but it might be the single most important step when planning an outdoor event, especially if food and drinks will be served. Portable toilets aren’t just nice to have; they’re essential for keeping your guests comfortable. Depending on the location and size of your event, they may even be required by law.

Here are a few examples of outdoor events where portable toilets are extremely important:

  • Holiday Markets: With a wide range of food and beverage vendors, shoppers should have quick access to a restroom without having to wait in a long line.
  • Backyard Parties: If you want to limit the damage to your own indoor facilities, a portable toilet holiday party unit keeps your bathroom clean and your guests happy.
  • Outdoor Weddings andReligious Services: Don’t let a lack of restroom access ruin a special event. Guests expect clean and convenient restroom access. If your event is outdoors, porta potty rentals might be your best option.

Choosing The Right Number And Type Of Portable Toilets

When planning an event, it can be challenging to know how many portable toilets you need and what type you should rent. As a rule, you should try to have one porta potty for every 50 guests. However, if you’re serving alcohol, one portable toilet for every 25 guests might be more appropriate. If you have an all-day event or you really want to eliminate wait times, add an extra unit or two.

Portable toilets come in different varieties. You’ll likely need to choose from:

  • Standard Units: Simple, straightforward units with a toilet. These are optimal for casual gatherings or large crowds.
  • Event-Ready Units: If you need something a bit nicer, opt for these units with added features like lighting, handwashing stations, and, in some cases, climate control.
  • ADA-Compliant Units: These larger, fully accessible units help ensure guests with limited mobility or other considerations feel accommodated.

Choosing The Best Placement For Your Portable Toilet Rentals

An important thing to remember when renting porta potties: placement matters. Our team can help you determine the optimal locations for your units. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

  • Convenience: Units should be within a 2-3 minute walk of guests at all times.
  • Proximity: Guests should be able to easily access portable toilets after visiting the bar or food area, but the units shouldn’t be so close that they interfere with dining.
  • Exits: Placing a unit or two near the entrance or exit is always a good idea; people often use the restroom when arriving or leaving an event.
  • Safety: It’s crucial to place units on stable, solid ground in well-lit areas. Avoid low-lying, flood-prone spots.

Waste Management For Outdoor Events

Portable toilet rentals aren’t the only service we provide to event planners. Waste management is essential, too! If you expect your event to generate plenty of waste, you don’t want to be cleaning up for days after it’s all over. With the right waste management solutions in place, post-event cleanup is a breeze.

A Dumpster Rental Can Make Event Cleanup Much Easier

If you’re serving food or beverages at your event, trash is inevitable. Cups, plates, wrappers, and other debris will be piled high in trash cans all across the venue. If there isn’t a dumpster on-site, you might be able to haul each bag to the curb if the event is small. However, chances are, a dumpster rental would save you a lot of time and work – not to mention a big mess if any of the bags should break.

A simple 10-yard dumpster, delivered right to your venue, can become a central location for guests and staff to dispose of trash. We see these come in handy for large backyard gatherings or holiday markets. After your event, CFB Outdoors will pick up the can and dispose of its contents. You won’t have to haul dozens or even hundreds of bags out to the curb.

Hauling Services Might Be Necessary For Larger Events

Are you looking to dispose of a ton of holiday decorations after your event? Maybe vendors in your holiday market are generating lots of cardboard, packaging, or food waste. Perhaps a large party is creating more waste than even a 10-yard dumpster can handle. Combining a dumpster and hauling services streamlines waste management for even the largest events.

Hauling services from CFB Outdoors make it easy to quickly eliminate large quantities of debris. Our team will stop by the venue, pick up whatever debris needs to go, and dispose of it for you. You won’t even have to lift a finger.
