Planning an event or managing a construction site and have questions about portable restrooms or luxury restroom trailers? You’ve come to the right place. At The Throne Depot, we’re here to make your rental experience seamless. Below, we answer the most common questions about our portable toilet rentals, service frequency, trailer amenities, delivery timelines, and more.
Portable toilets are self-contained restrooms designed for locations without plumbing. Waste is collected in a sealed holding tank with a deodorizing solution that controls odors and begins breaking down waste. Ventilation helps reduce smells, and privacy features include secure locks and occupancy indicators. Units are regularly serviced, cleaned, restocked, and pumped out for proper disposal at licensed treatment facilities.
The blue liquid is a deodorizing and sanitizing solution used in portable toilets. It helps control odors, neutralize smells, and begin breaking down waste. The color masks visibility and keeps the unit looking cleaner between services. The solution we use is environmentally safe, non-hazardous, and biodegradable, and it’s refreshed during each service visit to maintain cleanliness and freshness.
Portable toilets are designed for human waste and toilet paper only. Items such as wipes, feminine products, paper towels, diapers, trash, food, or chemicals should never be placed inside. These materials can cause clogs, damage equipment, and disrupt wastewater treatment. For events, we recommend placing trash cans near restrooms or adding trash box rentals to provide proper disposal for non-toilet items.
Renting portable toilets provides a convenient, cost-effective restroom solution for events, job sites, and outdoor locations. They eliminate the need for permanent plumbing, conserve water, and allow for flexible placement where restrooms are needed most. Regular professional servicing ensures cleanliness and hygiene, while multiple unit types, including handicap-accessible options, help accommodate different guest counts and accessibility needs.
Yes, we offer external locking options that can be included with your rental. Padlocks or chain-and-lock systems help prevent unauthorized use during off-hours, overnight, or between event days. For service access and safety reasons, customers should not use their own locks. Using our provided locking options ensures our team can properly service the unit as scheduled.
We follow a winter service protocol to keep portable toilets functional in cold conditions. An environmentally safe brine is added to tanks to prevent freezing, and service continues as weather allows. Units must remain accessible, with plowed routes and cleared doors after snowfall. During active storms, service may be delayed briefly for safety and resumes once conditions improve.
Yes, our restroom trailers are equipped with both air conditioning and heating, making them suitable for use throughout the year.
Your quoted price covers delivery, setup, pump out, and pickup of the unit. It also includes supplies like paper towels, toilet paper, soap, and deodorizer. Monthly rentals include once-a-week servicing.
No. Many clients prefer to request pricing or place orders online. Our system allows for fast and convenient booking.
Our “Service or Call Office” policy ensures coordination with the site contact for resolution. We maintain a high service completion rate.
No. Restroom trailers cannot be ordered directly online because they often require power, water, and placement planning. Customers can submit a request for a quote through our website and our team will follow up.
Yes. We offer standalone handwashing stations and sanitizer units to enhance hygiene on site.
A general guideline suggests 2 portable toilets per 100 guests for a 4-hour event and 4 portable toilets per 100 guests for events lasting over 4 hours. Actual needs may vary depending on factors such as whether food and alcohol are served. Feel free to contact us for personalized assistance, or use our calculator in the Event Planning Guide.
Peak wedding season in New England books quickly. We recommend reserving several months in advance to secure preferred trailer sizes and delivery windows.
Yes. We regularly coordinate sanitation for multi-day festivals and high-attendance public events. This includes structured placement, scheduled servicing, and coordination with event organizers.
Placement depends on site layout, guest flow, accessibility requirements, and proximity to high-traffic areas like food and beverage zones. The goal is to ensure units are convenient without creating congestion or disrupting the event experience.
For larger events or sites with unique conditions, our team takes a more hands-on approach. We review layout plans in advance and, when needed, conduct site visits to evaluate terrain, access points, and logistics. This allows us to recommend optimal placement and servicing strategies, helping ensure everything runs smoothly.
This approach has been used to support large-scale, citywide events like Salem’s Haunted Happenings.

For weddings, restroom trailers are the most popular choice due to their elegant interiors, climate control, flushing toilets, running water, and multiple stalls that minimize wait times. For smaller or more intimate weddings, VIP portable toilets offer a refined single-unit option with flushing and handwashing, providing an elevated experience without the footprint or hookups required for trailers.
Permit requirements vary by location and use. Most residential properties and private events do not require a permit for temporary restroom placement. Permits may be required for public events, construction sites, placements on public property, or when sidewalks or roadways are affected. Local cities and towns set their own rules, so requirements can differ by municipality.
Yes, our portable toilets use 40% post-consumer recycled plastic, are delivered in low-emission vehicles, and contain non-hazardous deodorizing liquid with 100% recycled toilet paper.
The renter is responsible for any damage, tipping, or vandalism that occurs during the rental period, as outlined in our Terms & Conditions. If an incident happens, we assess the unit and bill based on actual repair or replacement costs. Prompt reporting helps minimize disruption and allows issues to be addressed quickly and fairly.
