The majority of people who use portable toilets will hire them but there are circumstances where buying could be more beneficial. In this article, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The benefits of buying a portable toilet
Having a portable toilet at your disposal without having to pay for rental, delivery or collection.
Being able to use the portable toilet over many years where necessary, potentially saving hundreds of £££ in rental fees.
Providing you have somewhere to store the portable toilet, owning your own allows for greater flexibility – you can install and remove it to suit you, without having to arrange to book it in with the hire company.
The benefits of hiring a portable toilet hire
- All liquid waste disposal is handled by the hire company.
- You are not required to store the toilet units when not in use.
- The hire company will handle all transportation, delivery, installation and removal of units, saving you time and manpower.
- You will have the choice of several different toilet units to hire.
- You will not have to worry about replenishing any consumables such as toilet paper, hand soap or hand sanitiser, and paper towels.
How to decide whether to buy or hire
- Think about why you need the portable toilets – do you need the toilets on a long term basis for example?
- Do you have somewhere to securely store the portable toilets when not in use?
- Do you have the means to safely transport a portable toilet unit full of waste? Or the means to empty it yourself?
- Do you hold an Environment Agency registered waste carrier licence? In the UK, this is a mandatory requirement for anyone disposing of liquid waste.
- Will you have appropriately trained and skilled personnel available to correctly install the toilets, who can service them in the event of any problems arising?
For event organisers, construction site foremen, and utilities managers responsible for organising events such as festivals, conferences, new build developments and large scale sporting events, portable toilet hire is the simplest and most cost effective solution.
