Job sites follow OSHA. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 requires 1 unit for up to 20 workers, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 199 workers, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. Hand washing has to be available where the work involves contaminants.
For a Mobile event the arithmetic is: guests divided by 50, rounded up, plus one unit per 100 guests for every two hours beyond four, plus about 15 percent if alcohol is served.
More units on weekly service often costs less than fewer units on twice weekly, and it removes the queue at the peak as well. It is worth pricing both ways for a long Mobile rental.
Where should units go on a Mobile site?
If a Mobile site has a locked gate or restricted hours, give the provider the access details at booking. A missed service visit still counts as a service visit on most contracts.
Each unit needs roughly 5 by 5 feet of clear ground including the door swing, on a surface firm enough that it will not settle after a wet week.
Wind tips unsecured units, particularly when they are nearly empty. On exposed Mobile sites they should be staked, or strapped where the ground cannot take a stake.
Freezing weather means antifreeze in the tank, which the provider handles. The part that falls to you is a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.

Mobile porta potty questions
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Mobile?
Not on private property in almost all cases. Public events and anything placed on a street or sidewalk may need a city permit that covers restroom provision.
How many hand wash stations should I order?
One per three to four units is the normal ratio. Go to one per two units for food service, weddings or anywhere children are present.
What is the difference between standard and flushable units?
A flushable deluxe unit has a foot operated flush, a fresh water sink and a mirror inside. Standard units have a holding tank, a seat and a hand sanitiser dispenser.
Are the units cleaned before delivery?
Yes. Units are cleaned, restocked and deodorised at the yard before they go out, so the first use is on a fresh unit.
How much space does a unit need?
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear area plus access for the service truck.
