Fall in Southern Colorado brings crisp air, changing leaves, and a season packed with outdoor events and community gatherings. From craft fairs and harvest festivals to weddings, markets, and family reunions, it’s one of the most popular times of year for hosting events in wide-open spaces.

Whether you’re organizing a large-scale festival or a small community celebration, portable toilet rental for events is something that shouldn’t be left to the last minute. Comfort, cleanliness, and crowd management all rely on well-planned sanitation solutions.

At Mountain Disposal, we’ve provided clean, dependable portable toilets across Southern Colorado for years. Our units cater to a variety of outdoor event types, ranging from simple setups to large-scale festivals with high foot traffic. We’re here to help you plan, keep your guests comfortable, and ensure your event runs smoothly from start to finish.

Why Portable Toilets Matter at Fall Events

No matter how much effort goes into entertainment, food, or décor, one thing is universally important at any public event: restrooms. For outdoor gatherings held far from indoor plumbing, having the right number and type of portable toilets can significantly enhance your guests’ experience. 

Fall often brings ideal weather for outdoor events; however, its popularity also means larger crowds. Increased foot traffic leads to a greater need for clean and convenient restroom options. A lack of facilities or long lines due to insufficient units can frustrate attendees and result in unnecessary complaints.

Providing adequate sanitation is not just a matter of comfort; it is also a health and safety concern. Ensuring enough portable toilets, handwashing stations, and ADA-compliant units helps everyone feel welcome while maintaining cleanliness throughout the event space.

How Many Portable Toilets Do You Need?

Determining the number of toilets required for your event depends on several factors, including expected attendance, event duration, whether food and drinks will be served, and whether alcohol will be included.

As a general rule, it’s recommended to have at least one portable toilet per 75-100 people for events lasting four hours or more. If food and alcohol are served, you may want to add more. For multi-day events or locations without easy access to clean water, washstands or handwashing units should also be included in your planning.

If you’re unsure how many units you’ll need, our team at Mountain Disposal is happy to walk you through your event layout and estimate the best setup based on the expected crowd.

 

Types of Portable Toilets Available from Mountain Disposal

We understand that not every event is the same. That’s why Mountain Disposal offers six different types of portable toilet units, allowing you to customize the restroom setup to suit the size, style, and audience of your event.

 

Standard portable toilets are the most common and functional choice for festivals and public events. These include optional automatic lights and are easy to place in rows or small banks, depending on your available space.

 

Wheelchair-accessible units are wider and feature safety elements such as handrails and ground-level entry. These are essential for meeting ADA compliance and ensuring accessibility for all attendees.

 

Pink Ladies units are designed specifically for female users and do not include urinals. These are a popular choice for events with a higher percentage of women in attendance. As with other specialized units, early reservation is encouraged.

 

Family units are perfect for events that welcome parents with young children. These units feature a changing table, automatic lights, and additional interior space, making them ideal for parents who need to assist small children or manage multiple tasks simultaneously.

 

Wedding units are a more upscale option, featuring flushable toilets, interior lighting, a sink, mirror, and tasteful finishes. These are ideal for elegant events, such as outdoor weddings or black-tie fundraisers.

 

Toilets on a trailer provide added flexibility for remote or mobile event setups. These can be hauled behind a vehicle and moved to different locations throughout the day, making them useful for fairs that span multiple sites or rotating outdoor activities.

 

Hand wash stations are also available in both small and large formats and can be placed next to toilet banks or food areas to help reduce the spread of germs and keep guests feeling fresh.

Each unit is delivered clean, fully stocked, and ready to use. Our team ensures a professional setup and, if needed, can coordinate servicing for longer events or multi-day festivals.

 

Planning for Comfort and Cleanliness

When organizing an event, it is easy to get caught up in decorations, music, vendors, and entertainment, but neglecting sanitation can lead to significant problems later on. Taking the time to plan your portable toilet rental is crucial not only to prevent inconvenience but also to show your guests that you care about their experience. 

Proper placement of restrooms is essential. They should be easily accessible, clearly marked, and situated away from food areas while still being close enough to the main attractions. Depending on your venue, consider positioning restroom facilities near entrances, parking areas, or vendor setups to optimize traffic flow. 

Additionally, adding handwashing stations near food vendors or children’s activity zones can greatly improve hygiene. For evening events, you might also want to request automatic lights to enhance visibility after dark; most Mountain Disposal units offer this option upon request.
