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 an event, start from the guest count and the duration. One unit per 50 guests covers four hours, each additional two hours adds a unit per 100 guests, and alcohol adds about 15 percent on top.
Short events are delivered clean and collected afterwards, with no mid event service unless you ask. Anything running past about eight hours is worth scheduling a service visit into.
What should you plan for in Des Plaines?
On public facing Des Plaines events, put at least one ADA accessible unit on a level, firm route from the main area. Accessible does not help if the path to it is gravel or grass.
Doors open outward, so a unit tucked tight against a wall or a fence loses usable space. Allow the extra foot and the clear route for the service truck.
Spread a large Des Plaines site into two or three banks rather than one row. Walking distance drives usage more than the total count does, and one bank means one long queue.
Event pricing in Des Plaines is per unit per day and includes delivery and collection. Job site pricing is monthly, which is why the cost per day is so much lower.

Des Plaines porta potty questions
What is included in a service visit?
The tank is pumped, the unit is washed down, the paper is restocked and deodoriser is added. Any damage is noted and reported.
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.
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.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Cook go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
How much notice do you need for a Des Plaines 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.
