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.
On a Monterey job site the OSHA table is a floor rather than a target. Most contractors order one unit per 10 workers, because that is the ratio that keeps a unit usable across a week of standard servicing.
Servicing is the other difference. A Monterey job site on weekly service gets the tank pumped, the unit cleaned and the paper restocked once a week, which suits a crew of up to about 10 per unit.
Where should units go on a Monterey site?
For Monterey job sites, put the unit near the site entrance rather than deep in the work area. It keeps the service truck off the active site and shortens the walk for the crew.
Footprint is rarely the constraint; truck access is. A unit fits almost anywhere, but a unit the service truck cannot reach generates a charge on every scheduled visit.
Review the order when the crew size changes. A Monterey site carrying six units through a fit out with a crew of twelve is paying for capacity nobody is using.
Where food is served at a Monterey event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.

Monterey porta potty questions
How often will the unit be serviced in Monterey?
Weekly is the standard on job sites. In summer heat, or with more than about 10 workers per unit, twice weekly keeps the unit usable.
How many units do I need for 150 guests?
Start at 3 standard units for a 4 hour event. Add roughly 15 percent if alcohol is served, include at least one ADA unit, and add one hand wash station.
Do restroom trailers need power and water?
Most do. Trailers typically need a standard power connection and either a water hookup or an onboard fresh water tank, and they need level ground to sit on.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Monterey?
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.
Can units be placed on a sloping Monterey site?
They need to sit level, so a sloping site usually means a levelled pad of gravel or plywood. Tell the provider when you book so they bring what they need.
