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.
Job sites are counted by peak crew, not by project headcount. A Redwood City site running 60 workers during framing and 12 during fit out needs provision sized for 60 while that phase lasts.
Heavy use and heat both shorten the interval. A Redwood City site that is comfortable on weekly service in spring often needs twice weekly through the hottest months.
What should you plan for in Redwood City?
Lighting is worth planning for any Redwood City event running past dusk. Units without internal lighting become unusable after dark unless the surrounding area is lit.
Keep about 5 by 5 feet clear per unit and leave the approach for the service truck open. Both matter for the whole rental rather than just the delivery day.
For a Redwood City event longer than about eight hours, ask about a mid event service. Short events are delivered clean and collected after, with nothing in between by default.
On a long Redwood City rental, a position the truck can reach in month six is worth more than a position that looks tidy in week one.

Redwood City porta potty questions
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in San Mateo go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
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.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Redwood City?
The provider can reposition it, usually for a fee. On a long rental it is cheaper to choose a position at the start that will still work later in the project.
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.
Are urinal only units available?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they can cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
