6. Do you have chemicals appropriate for the planned service schedule?
• Be sure to match the strength and duration of the product to the length and use pattern of the
event. It is not economical to use the strongest, most costly products intended for a week in
the hot sun if you will be servicing the toilets daily or multiple times per day.
7. Do you carry bolt cutters to remove broken locks and personal locks festival attendees may use to
"claim a private toilet?"
8. For large events it is a good idea to bring two or three combination locks that you can put on gates to
allow your team in (double lock system - allows you in and avoids concerns about giving out key or
combination for promoter or venue locks). A section or two of chain is also not a bad idea. You ma ke
it easy for organizers to accommodate requests for access on your time schedule if you have locks and
chains available.
9. If you will have restroom trailers do you have the special supplies needed for these units?
• Air scents
• Broom
• Toilet cleaning supp lies
• Device to open stopped toilets
BASIC TOOL KIT
You should carry a basic tool kit. It should contain not only common tools but "spares" your team will
appreciate when you are able to produce them during an event. These spares should probably include:
1. 3" screw caps for holding tanks
2. 3" cap for dump port on truck
3. Headlamp to loan to the team
member who forgot one
4. Extra shirts to replace ones that
become unexpectedly soiled
5. Insect repellent
6. Sun screen
7. Wire nuts
8. Volt meter/continuity tester
9. Jumper cables
10. 2" and 3" male caps for hoses
11. Hose clamps
12. Rivet gun and rivets
13. PVC glue and cutter
