How to Rent Mobile Toilets

Admin September 21, 2026

Renting mobile toilets can be arranged following these steps:

1. Choose the Type According to Needs
Select the appropriate type of mobile toilet based on the usage scenario and requirements:

  • By Sewage Treatment Method:
    • Waterless Packaging Type: Suitable for construction sites, picnics, and other scenarios where no water source is required. The daily rental cost is approximately 50 yuan.
    • Water-flush Type: Suitable for shopping malls, exhibitions, and other occasions with high hygiene requirements. It requires a water connection and a weekly cleaning fee of 200 yuan.
    • Water-saving and Environmentally Friendly Type: Suitable for scenic spots, parks, etc. It uses foam or microbial decomposition technology, has less odor, and is suitable for long-term use.
  • By Handling Method:
    • Lifting Type: Suitable for small events. Two toilet compartments can be lifted by a forklift.
    • Trailer Type: Suitable for large events. Ten toilet compartments can be transported by a truck.
  • Special Requirements: If serving the elderly or disabled individuals, choose an accessible model equipped with handrails and spacious space.

2. Determine the Rental Quantity
Estimate the rental quantity based on the number of users. For example, for an event with 1000 people, it is recommended to rent 5-8 mobile toilets, which should be adjusted according to the event duration and toilet type.

3. Select a Rental Company
Prioritize choosing a reputable company. You can screen them through the following methods:

  • Refer to the projects they have served, such as Shanghai Xuhu Industrial Co., Ltd., which has undertaken major events like the 10th World Tourism Miss Competition.
  • Find suppliers through platforms like 58.com, and prioritize those offering package services that include transportation and installation.

4. Sign a Contract
The contract should clearly specify the following terms:

  • Rental Fee: The daily rental cost per toilet compartment ranges from 50 to 200 yuan, and the installation fee ranges from 200 to 500 yuan.
  • Cleaning Service: Cleaning should be carried out 1-2 times a week, with the cost included in the rental fee or calculated separately.
  • Damage Compensation: Clearly define the compensation amount and responsibility division.

5. Implement Fixing Measures

  • Site Selection and Foundation Inspection: Choose a flat area with good drainage. For soft ground, use gravel or wooden planks for padding.
  • Ground Anchor Fixing Method: Connect fixed chains with expansion screws or ground anchor nails at the four corners of the toilet, with a depth exceeding 30 centimeters.
  • Windproof Rope and Diagonal Fixing: Install windproof ropes at the top. In case of strong winds, use a “well”-shaped diagonal fixing method.
  • Additional Weight Scheme: Add heavy objects such as sandbags or water tanks inside or outside the toilet, evenly distributed to avoid tilting.

6. Regular Inspection and Emergency Reinforcement
Inspect the fixing devices daily during the event. Reinforce the windproof ropes in advance when rain or strong wind warnings are issued. If the toilet is found to be slightly tilted, stop using it immediately and refix it.
