Normally, it takes about 3 days for the usage of a porta potty to overflow. If you need it for more than that period, you should think about how to clean/empty your porta potties regularly.
How many people will be using the porta potty?
It’s better if there are not too many people because every person uses the toilet only 1-2 times per day. This way may last longer than expected. You can also use soaps or deodorants in order to reduce bad smells inside.
