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.
The two rules are different in kind. The job site figure is a legal minimum you have to meet. The event figure is a planning convention that describes average demand, and average demand is not what forms a queue.
Servicing is the other difference. A Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara site?
For Santa Clara 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.
Set units on firm, level ground. On grass or graded soil a gravel bed or a sheet of plywood underneath prevents the settling that leads to a tipped unit.
Position units on the exit path at a Santa Clara event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Santa Clara County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Santa Clara porta potty questions
Do units need lighting at a Santa Clara event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
Can units be placed on a sloping Santa Clara 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.
Can units be placed inside a gated site?
Usually, as long as the service truck can get within about 25 feet. Tell the provider about gate codes, soft ground or tight alleys when you book.
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 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.
