ADA Porta Potty Rental: A Natural Event Priority

Gotügo ADA Portable Restroom

Don't call it a conspiracy. Perhaps just call it an oversight that a ADA porta potty does not always find its way to events where at least one is needed. The disabled compose such a small minority of the population that unless the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires ADA-accessible porta potties at functions, they often get overlooked in porta potty rental plans.

Large events with porta potty rental of 20 units or more might include one ADA rental, but smaller events frequently fail to consider that someone with a ADA may attend. This not only makes the experience less enjoyable for the disabled individual, but inconveniences others as well. If an event is so small it only needs one unit, then that unit should be a ADA porta potty just to ensure that everyone's sanitary needs are met. If the event needs only two porta potties --one for men and one for women-- they should both be suitable for the disabled.

Many specific requirements apply to portable sanitary facilities. For example, smokestack ventilation is always important because it takes any displeasing fragrance from the unit and moves it above the crowds. Insufficient ventilation around the unit can foul an event for everyone.

Disabled access means wheelchair accessibility, which means wider doors and level bases. It takes only a small obstruction to block a wheelchair. Units with access near the ground, rather than access on the ground, often work best. Near-ground access means the unit has a thicker floor. With near-ground access, event planners can prepare the ground to make the entrance level, or simply add a small ramp and threshold. (more…)
