Restroom and Handwashing Solutions for Large-Scale Memorial Events in New York

Problem → Solution → Outcome

The Challenge

A Chof Aleph Kislev event is a major Chassidic gathering held in the winter, typically marking the yahrzeit of a revered Rebbe with communal prayer and learning. Taking place immediately before Chanukah, these events often occur in multiple locations at once, requiring simultaneous large-scale service—such as the two we supported: a Satmar community gathering in Brooklyn and a separate major event at the Crown Heights Armory.

Events drew approximately several thousand attendees and required high restroom capacity, extensive handwashing access, and uninterrupted sanitation during peak usage. Tight scheduling, overlapping timelines, and high expectations left no room for error.

Our Plan

Light It Up fully serviced each event independently, with logistics coordinated centrally to ensure seamless execution.

We deployed complete restroom solutions at both locations, including:

  • Restroom trailers positioned for primary traffic flow
  • Rows of porta potties to absorb peak demand
  • Handwashing systems customized per site—sink trailers at one location and modular handwashing stations with water tanks at the other
  • Dedicated on-site cleaning crews maintained throughout each night

All deliveries, setups, servicing, and cleanings were carefully sequenced so both events operated smoothly without overlap or delay.

Results

Both community events ran without interruption. Facilities remained clean, lines moved quickly, and sanitation needs were met continuously during the busiest entry and exit periods.

Despite servicing two major Brooklyn events at the same time, Light It Up delivered full coverage at each location—on schedule, fully staffed, and exactly as planned.

Timeline & High-Volume Event Restroom Logistics

Setup

Equipment arrived at both venues for coordinated staging. Restroom trailers, porta potties, and handwashing units were positioned based on site-specific crowd flow and access needs. Utilities and water supplies were tested, cleaning schedules activated, and all stations fully stocked before doors opened.

During the Events

High-volume restroom logistics were managed in real time at both locations simultaneously. Cleaning crews remained active throughout each night, restocking supplies and maintaining sanitary conditions during peak usage.

After the Events

Teardown was completed efficiently at each site, with venues returned clean, clear, and on schedule.

Plan Your Event Restrooms

Large public events need more than equipment. They need a team that shows up early, stays late, and handles whatever the weather throws at them.Light It Up – Rent To Go has supported events across the Northeast for years.
