One standard unit covers roughly 50 guests over a 4-hour window; a 100-guest backyard wedding in Ardsley Park typically needs 2 units, and a 200-guest festival in the Starland District needs 4. This ratio comes from the widely used industry planning guideline of one restroom per 50 attendees for events under 4 hours, with an extra unit added if alcohol is served, since consumption raises usage by about 30%. A standard event unit is the freestanding, well-ventilated model with a rear seat and urinal; it suits parties, receptions, and outdoor gatherings where guests need a clean, private stop and the host does not require a sink, mirror, or interior lighting.
The standard event unit fits open, firm ground: a Gordonston lawn, a Baldwin Park side yard, or a graveled lot near Thunderbolt. Coastal Savannah ground matters here. On soft marsh-edge sites around Isle of Hope or low spots that hold water after a tide or rain, a unit set on plywood or a level pad stays upright and drains cleanly. Placement within about 50 feet of a truck-accessible path keeps delivery and pickup on schedule; gated communities such as The Landings on Skidaway Island usually require a gate pass or resident name for the driver at the entrance. If a wedding runs across a weekend, a standard unit includes one servicing where the tank is pumped, the bowl is cleaned, and paper and sanitizer are restocked.
Choosing between a standard event unit and an upgraded option comes down to the setting. For a casual crawfish boil in Parkside or a 5K staging area in Southside, the standard unit is the practical choice and the lowest cost. For a formal reception where guests wear evening attire, a flushing restroom or a restroom trailer with sinks and lighting reads better; the trade-off is roughly double the price and a need for level footing and, in some cases, a water and power source. A standard unit needs neither, which is why it drops on almost any Chatham County site within an hour of setup.
Delivery covers Ardsley Park, the Starland District, Isle of Hope, Thunderbolt, The Landings, Gordonston, Parkside, Baldwin Park, Fairway Oaks, and Southside, plus event venues near Forsyth Park and along the Tybee Island corridor. The order of operations is simple: 1) confirm the site address, dates, and guest count by phone; 2) a driver places the unit on firm, accessible ground the day before or morning of the event; 3) the unit is serviced once on multi-day rentals; 4) the crew removes the unit and hauls the waste after the event ends. Waste is transported to a licensed disposal facility per Georgia sanitation handling rules.
