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 Santa Monica 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.
The symptom of an under serviced unit is predictable: fine on Monday, avoided by Thursday. If crews are leaving a Santa Monica site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
How should units be placed in Santa Monica?
For Santa Monica 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.
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.
Position units on the exit path at a Santa Monica event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
Where food is served at a Santa Monica event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.
How is Santa Monica restroom rental priced?

What you pay in Santa Monica depends on the unit type, the rental length and how often the truck comes. A standard unit on weekly service is the baseline, and everything else prices from there.

Santa Monica porta potty questions
How much is a porta potty for one day in Santa Monica?
A standard unit for a one day event typically runs $150 to $275 delivered and collected. Flushable deluxe units cost more, and trailers are priced per day in the hundreds to low thousands.
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.
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.
What happens in freezing weather?
Providers add antifreeze to the holding tank and may adjust the servicing schedule. Keep a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
Do you supply the units yourselves?
No. We are a free referral service. Your call connects you with an independent local provider who owns the units and handles delivery and servicing.
