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.
For a Wilmington event the arithmetic is: guests divided by 50, rounded up, plus one unit per 100 guests for every two hours beyond four, plus about 15 percent if alcohol is served.
The symptom of an under serviced unit is predictable: fine on Monday, avoided by Thursday. If crews are leaving a Wilmington site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
Where should units go on a Wilmington site?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Wilmington sites, units should be staked or strapped, particularly if they sit on a hard surface where they cannot be anchored into ground.
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 Wilmington 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 Wilmington event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.

Wilmington porta potty questions
Do units need lighting at a Wilmington event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
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.
What happens if a unit is not serviced on schedule?
Call the provider. If the truck could not reach the unit, the visit normally still counts as billed, so keeping the approach clear on service days matters.
What is the difference between standard and flushable units?
A flushable deluxe unit has a foot operated flush, a fresh water sink and a mirror inside. Standard units have a holding tank, a seat and a hand sanitiser dispenser.
What happens at the end of the rental?
The provider collects the units on the agreed date. For long term job site rentals, just call when the project finishes and they schedule the pickup.
