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.
Treat the OSHA number as the point below which you are non compliant, not the number to order. Comfortable and compliant are different thresholds, and crews notice the difference by midweek.
Multi day events in Dover are serviced nightly between sessions. That is standard practice on festivals rather than an upgrade you have to negotiate.
How should units be placed in Dover?
For Dover 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.
Units arrive cleaned, restocked and deodorised from the yard, so the first use is on a fresh unit. That matters more at a Dover event than on a job site.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Kent County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Dover porta potty questions
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Dover?
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.
Can I rent a unit for a whole year in Dover?
Yes. Long term rentals are standard on construction projects and are usually billed monthly with weekly service included.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Dover?
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 often will the unit be serviced in Dover?
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 much notice do you need for a Dover job site?
A few days is usually enough for a standard unit. Trailers, ADA units and large multi unit orders need longer, particularly in peak season.
