We all know what a porta-potty is for, but how many of us know about the different elements that help make it functional? Unless you\u2019re in this business, it\u2019s probably still a mystery. Luckily we\u2019re experts and know about everything from cleaning the units to the holding tanks that accompany them. Here\u2019s a quick guide to porta-potty holding tanks.<\/p>\n
A porta-potty holding tank is a large plastic container that holds porta-potty waste. Think of it as a placeholder in between toilet cleanings. Porta-potties can hold between 40 and 50 gallons of waste. Depending on the size of the crowd, that waste can build up quickly.<\/p>\n
A holding tank works as an efficient backup and essentially saves the day. The tanks vary in size, and you should always rent one that will service your crowd with a cushion. A holding tank can hold between 5 and 300 gallons of waste\u2014that\u2019s a lot of bathroom breaks.<\/p>\n
The truth is, you don\u2019t always need a holding tank with your porta-potty rental. Tanks are best for events that have large crowds. Festivals, weddings, carnivals, and concerts are the best places and times for a porta-potty holding tank.<\/p>\n
However, they don\u2019t solely cater to larger crowds. Smaller gatherings benefit from these tanks too. For example, long camping trips or multi-day construction projects should have a holding tank on site. That extended time stretch means the portable restroom won\u2019t be immediately serviced or cleaned. Therefore, a tank can pick up some of the slack.<\/p>\n
So, should you rent a porta-potty holding tank? Let\u2019s put it this way: if you plan to throw an outdoor event with a crowd of 50 or more people, you need one. If your next construction project will last several weeks<\/a>, you need one. And more importantly, you need one from us!<\/p>\n
