Graduation Party Porta Potty Guide
A graduation party of 60 to 100 guests for 4 to 6 hours needs 2 to 3 standard porta potties plus 1 hand wash station for the food. Book 2 to 4 weeks ahead for May and June weekends, when grad parties fill the schedule.
How many porta potties for a grad party?
A grad party needs 1 standard unit per 50 guests for up to 4 hours, or 1 per 40 for 5 to 8 hours. Add 1 unit for every 4 when beer or wine is served. Add 1 hand wash station per 2 toilets for food. A 100-guest, 6-hour open house with food needs 3 units and 2 stations.
| Guests | 4-hour open house | 6-hour party | 6-hour party + beer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 60 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| 100 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 150 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
When should I book for graduation season?
Book graduation party units 2 to 4 weeks ahead for weekends in late May and June. Those weekends stack many parties on the same days. Booking takes no deposit, and you can cancel free up to 24 business hours before delivery, so there is little risk in booking early.
Why rent one if the house has bathrooms?
Hosts rent porta potties for grad parties to keep guests out of the house, protect floors from wet shoes, and spare an older septic system from a heavy one-day load. One unit by the yard entrance takes most of the traffic.

Weekend rentals drop Thursday or Friday and leave Monday.
Is a deluxe unit worth it for a grad party?
