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 Palatine are serviced nightly between sessions. That is standard practice on festivals rather than an upgrade you have to negotiate.
Where should units go on a Palatine site?
Keep Palatine units within about 25 feet of where the service truck can park. That single constraint decides most placement questions on tight urban sites.
Each unit needs roughly 5 by 5 feet of clear ground including the door swing, on a surface firm enough that it will not settle after a wet week.
Review the order when the crew size changes. A Palatine site carrying six units through a fit out with a crew of twelve is paying for capacity nobody is using.
Where food is served at a Palatine event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.

Palatine porta potty questions
What happens in freezing weather?
Providers add antifreeze to the holding tank and may adjust the servicing schedule. Keep a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Palatine?
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 units be placed inside a gated site?
Usually, as long as the service truck can get within about 25 feet. Tell the provider about gate codes, soft ground or tight alleys when you book.
How much notice do you need for a Palatine 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.
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.
