Portable restroom questions from Milwaukee organizers and site managers
Most questions fall into four groups: how many units, what the rules are, how delivery and servicing work and what the state requires of the business that pumps.
- Standard, ADA and trailer units
- Summerfest, festivals and game days
- Construction sites and crews

The count and the placement
How many units does a crowd need?
The count is set from the peak hour, the length of stay and the heat, with no binding Milwaukee ratio found.
Where should the units go?
Off the main flow, on firm ground, near the paths and off the stage front, after a walk of the ground.
The rules
Does Milwaukee require a restroom plan?
No City of Milwaukee portable-toilet requirement for events was found. Ask the event office.
What about the suburbs?
Each town sets its own rules, and each office is asked before a unit goes on its ground.
Delivery and servicing
How soon can a unit arrive?
The window is set on the first call from the spot and the distance.
How often is a unit serviced?
On a written schedule for the length of the rental, with extra visits for heavy use or hot weather.
The state rules
Who needs a septage license?
The business that pumps and disposes of domestic septage, which includes portable restrooms under the DNR's permit text.
Can the waste be mixed with other material?
No. Septage may not be mixed with other waste under the DNR's general permit.
