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 Athens 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.
Multi day events in Athens 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 Athens?
For Athens 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.
On a long Athens rental, choose a position that will still work in month three. Sites change, and repositioning a unit carries a fee.
Wind tips unsecured units, particularly when they are nearly empty. On exposed Athens sites they should be staked, or strapped where the ground cannot take a stake.
A quote for a Athens job site normally bundles delivery, the units, weekly servicing and collection into one monthly figure. Extra visits and long carries sit outside it.

Athens porta potty questions
How many hand wash stations should I order?
One per three to four units is the normal ratio. Go to one per two units for food service, weddings or anywhere children are present.
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.
What do I do if a unit is damaged or tipped over?
Call the provider straight away. Most will right and reservice a tipped unit quickly, and damage caused by vandalism is usually covered by the rental terms.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Clarke go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
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.
