The count depends on how many people you're serving and for how long. OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer on construction sites; at 40 to 200 workers you need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 people. For events in Wyoming, the math is simpler: assume one unit per 50 guests for a 4-hour gathering, then add one more if the event runs 8 hours or longer. If your crew works with paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) mandates washing facilities on site. Read more in our how many porta potties guide.

A standard porta potty rental comes with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, tissue, hand sanitizer and a service visit each week. The unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands 92 inches tall, so it fits most job sites and yards. We empty the tank, top off supplies and check that everything runs smoothly. Delivery and pickup are separate line items. For Wyoming jobs that need more, we offer deluxe flushable units and ADA accessible models that meet accessibility standards. Weekend events run on a different pricing structure.
