Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest outdoor event weekends of the year in South Carolina. Festivals, family reunions, graduation parties, and community celebrations fill parks and private properties across the Pee Dee region. If you’re organizing an event over Memorial Day weekend, here’s your portable restroom checklist.
Book Early — Units Go Fast
Memorial Day weekend is peak season for portable restroom rentals. Availability tightens significantly by early April. If you’re planning a large event, confirm your reservation at least 4-6 weeks out. Don’t assume units will be available on short notice for a major holiday weekend.
Pre-Event Checklist
- Confirm guest count and calculate units needed (1 per 50 guests per 4 hours)
- Determine if alcohol will be served (increases unit count by ~25%)
- Identify accessible unit requirements
- Confirm delivery date and site access for our truck
- Choose placement locations — level ground, visible but not intrusive
- Confirm whether handwashing stations are needed if food is served
Day-of Checklist
- Verify units were delivered and placed correctly
- Confirm handwashing stations are stocked and operational
- Brief your event staff on unit locations so they can direct guests
- For multi-day events: confirm mid-event servicing schedule with our team
