Restroom Trailer Tips & Education

When it comes to managing an event or project, it seems that nothing runs from start to finish without something going at least a little bit south. Whether it’s a mistake with the caterer, an incorrect meeting reservation, missing equipment, and other nuances that come with the job, something at some point will simply go wrong. There is no such thing as a perfectly run project or event - what separates the good managers from the great is how those mistakes are handled. When it comes to facilities, a portable bathroom trailer has been known to save the day. Anticipating those things that go wrong makes you an excellent manager, especially when it comes to events and special projects. Ensuring that you have access to the necessary contacts, tools, and resources that can save an event from those mistakes is a big part of the job. That’s why we are proud to partner with managers and provide a portable bathroom trailer when needed. When all else goes wrong, the last thing you want to worry about is the bathroom. Many outdoor venues may not have an upscale option, and offsite work projects may take your team to locations where a restroom is not provided. It’s our job to make sure that you are equipped in the sanitation department. Here are three ways that a portable bathroom trailer can literally save your project or event. Suprise! There is no Bathroom We have seen it happen before. An event planner arrives onsite for the big day. They begin getting set up, everything seems to be going according to schedule. Then, a staff member looks for the restroom - and doesn’t find it! When a brick-and-mortar restroom is not an option, a bathroom trailer rental is the next best thing. We design our trailers with intention and style them in a way that can complement any event atmosphere. We deliver quickly and efficiently, so rest assured your restroom will arrive on time! For project managers, a similar storyline can occur. For industries like construction, electricity, or engineering, when leaving the office becomes a part of the job, you’ll find yourself in locations where restrooms are not even a thought. In industries like these, working in empty lots, fields, and other secluded or removed areas is common. Be prepared and ensure your staff has the amenities they need. A portable bathroom trailer guarantees that a great restroom is checked off of your to-do list.  Outdoors = Porta Potty Party In the event and project management industries, we have all been faced with the dreaded porta-potty experience. That row of blue or beige lets you know that an upscale bathroom is not on the menu for the day. Extreme temperatures make the trip uncomfortable, The cleaning team is nowhere to be found, and you are seriously contemplating “holding it.” Or finding a secluded bush! No need to fear the porta-potty any longer. With a portable bathroom trailer, you experience all the amenities of a home restroom. Climate-controlled trailers, spacious stalls, flushing toilets - all those little things that we take for granted when in the office, but in this moment are MUCH appreciated. Cancel that porta-potty reservation and ensure that you, your staff, and/or your guests have the best possible restroom experience.  Is it working? Is it Clean??  Sometimes, you show up onsite at a new event or project and find that the restroom is… not up to par. From clogged toilets to damp floors to no toilet paper or towels, a public bathroom can get ugly, quickly. Your staff may be amazing and willing to do anything to ensure that all goes smoothly for the day, but cleaning a bathroom? It’s simply not in the job description. When the provided restroom is not the solution, a portable bathroom trailer is a quick and easy answer. Our team is equipped to get your rental to you as quickly as possible, and we can guarantee that it will arrive in clean and elegant condition. Are you ready to book a portable bathroom trailer for your next event or project? Browse our inventory and find the ideal style and size for your needs! Need a little more guidance? Our sales team is here to help! Contact us and we’ll get your rental process started quickly and efficiently.

In February 2017, we launched the Smarter Restrooms App, a tool that has helped our many partners to effectively run their portable restroom businesses. The app, which can be downloaded and used on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop, makes the overall management of restroom fleets convenient and more time effective. As we continue to partner with new businesses, we want to highlight the value of purchasing a portable restroom with the Smarter Restrooms App feature. Read ahead to discover three key upgrades that the app provides. Receive Timely Notifications Each portable restroom unit comes with water-saving flushable toilets, running water from sinks, and sometimes, showers and other amenities. This means that freshwater tank and waste tank levels require careful monitoring. No need to do this math on your own any longer! The Smarter Restroom App sends fleet managers alert notifications when waste and freshwater tank levels are 2⁄3 full or empty, which means the unit will be out of service shortly. This is sure to boost productivity, allowing your team to have easy access to the information they need to keep portable restrooms operating smoothly. All-In-One Control System Nothing is more important than the experience of your guests. We want to ensure that every user has a comfortable experience in a climate-controlled unit with all the amenities of a brick-and-mortar restroom. This is an easy achievement with the app’s system operations control feature. The app detects and controls shore power, interior climate temperatures, and up-to-date weather conditions, giving units winter protection from freezing temperatures and keeping things cool when hot. This ensures that portable restroom fleet managers stay updated from a remote location - they’ll know what changes are needed to the unit and when which allows for a consistently pleasant restroom experience for guests. The app also allows for geometric locating, allowing managers to see the exact locations of all portable restroom trailers at all times. Offsite Unit Management The most tasking part of operating a restroom rental fleet is basic management. Making the trip back and forth to one or many units takes up valuable time, which can lower efficient customer service. The app addresses this issue as well. Managers have the capability to remotely control lights, air conditioning, heating, water heaters, and trailer power. This means managers can operate more restroom trailers off-site, expand their operations, and provide superior service. Overall, the Smarter Restrooms App was developed to allow businesses that use or own portable restroom trailers to manage them more effectively. The app allows the management team to get more done in less time, makes fleet operations easier in general, and saves valuable employee time. Now, with the app, you can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor. We’ve made it easy so that your business can provide the best service possible easily, allowing you to grow and prosper.

As we head into the month of March, most finance departments are busy at work with the 2022 tax year. For them, it's hard to start thinking about the 2023 fiscal year. We encourage all leaders to pause and think about your budget strategies now. Where can you cut costs, and how do you make the smartest investments for your future? Let's talk about the Section 179 deduction and how to take advantage of this tax break when purchasing portable restrooms. Under the Section 179 Deduction, you can earn a tax break by selling and buying NOW through the end of the year! This is a capital-saving opportunity for all business owners that not many are aware of; there is no advantage in waiting to sell or buy new portable restrooms. If you wait until the beginning of a new year, you may actually lose money! Capitalize on great deals with our in-stock and available-to-order units to save on the total cost, and ensure delivery by December 31, 2023 to qualify for the section 179 deduction. As stated on the IRS website: You can elect to recover all or part of the cost of certain qualifying property, up to a limit, by deducting it in the year you place the property in service. This is the section 179 deduction. You can elect the section 179 deduction instead of recovering the cost by taking depreciation deductions. To learn more on the IRS website, click here. Learn About Section 179 Using the Section 179 tax code, you can deduct the full purchase price of any equipment which qualifies and is purchased or financed during the tax year in question. What this means is if you buy or lease equipment (like portable restroom trailers), it is possible to deduct the full purchase price from your gross income. By adding up your total equipment, software, and vehicles purchased for your business in 2023, you can write off or expense up to 100% of the cost of portable restrooms for purchase for up to $500,000, and then 50% of the remaining balance up to $2,000,000. Leveraging this deduction allows businesses to jump on what they need now instead of waiting over the next few years by only writing off the depreciation values. With industry price increases on the horizon reaching 6-10%, this is just another reason to purchase now instead of waiting. Assets eligible for the deduction don’t need to be brand new, just new to you. This means that new and used portable restrooms are applicable. If you purchase a new portable restroom or shower trailer, we also offer a great one-year buyback program of up to 80% of the original purchase price based on unit condition. To make this process easier for our customers, we have secured extremely attractive financing through our bank. We are offering 90 days same as cash with some of the best rates ever on portable restroom trailer equipment. Contact us at 1-877-600-8645 to learn more about our financing offers.  For more information, visit this site devoted to this tax deduction. Please make certain you also have an educated conversation with your tax preparer; you will need to fill out part one of IRS form 4562 for this deduction. Get Informed About Portable Restrooms Fill out our contact form or give us a call at 1-866-807-9043 to find our about taking advantage of the section 179 Deduction on your portable restrooms lease, purchase, or sale! In order to qualify, equipment must be purchased and out for delivery to use by December 31st, 2023. There is still plenty of time, but the year is flying by! Get your portable restroom trailers now and be ahead of schedule, ready to take on your taxes at the end of the year organized and with extra money in the bank!  

Here at Portable Restroom Trailers, we have worked with a variety of industries. We have seen beautifully designed outdoor events, practical construction sites, refuges for disaster victims, and so many others in between. As we got to know the industry, we realized a surprising fact - an industry that purchases portable restrooms regularly is the sanitation business. You read that right! We have worked with a wide variety of companies in our very own industry by providing portable restrooms as they grow their business. Some may think, “why help those who could someday be your competition?” The simple answer: it’s just smart business.  Before our CEO, Teri Pahon, decided to open up a new sanitation company, she noticed an interesting lack in our industry when it comes to manufacturing. Why wasn’t anyone making units with amenities? Before Portable Restroom Trailers, you’d find very basic temporary bathroom options. Just the necessities. But what about climate control? Designer interiors? Paper towel and blow dryer options?  These thoughts are what inspired Teri to start her company with portable restrooms that have all of the amenities of home bathrooms. In our industry, there are few like us, and those looking to break into it are interested in completed products. We personally work with manufacturers, so why not provide them to those looking to rent or purchase to turn a profit? We began working with individuals and companies alike and found this a win-win scenario. We produce a unique product, and they want to rent or sell it to their customers. We are proud to be a company that can help others achieve their goals. If you are interested in building a business in the sanitation industry, here are three ways we can help!  Start with Restroom Rentals If you are just getting started in the industry, perhaps you don’t have the funds to purchase your own trailer or don’t quite have the credit to finance it.
