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 Washington Navy Yard 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.
More units on weekly service often costs less than fewer units on twice weekly, and it removes the queue at the peak as well. It is worth pricing both ways for a long Washington Navy Yard rental.
Where should units go on a Washington Navy Yard site?
For Washington Navy Yard 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.
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear space. The service truck needs to get within about 25 feet of each unit.
Units arrive cleaned, restocked and deodorised from the yard, so the first use is on a fresh unit. That matters more at a Washington Navy Yard event than on a job site.
Freezing weather means antifreeze in the tank, which the provider handles. The part that falls to you is a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.

Washington Navy Yard porta potty questions
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Washington Navy Yard?
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 Washington Navy Yard?
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.
Can units be placed on a sloping Washington Navy Yard 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.
Do units need lighting at a Washington Navy Yard event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
Can I get units delivered on a weekend in Washington Navy Yard?
Often yes, though weekend delivery and collection sometimes carry a surcharge. Book early for Saturday events, that is the busiest day of the week.
