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.
Events run on planning ratios rather than regulation. The common starting point is 1 unit per 50 guests for a 4 hour event, then more units as the hours and headcount climb, plus roughly 15 percent extra when alcohol is served.
Heavy use and heat both shorten the interval. A New Orleans site that is comfortable on weekly service in spring often needs twice weekly through the hottest months.
What should you plan for in New Orleans?
Position units downwind and away from food service at New Orleans events, but keep them visible. Hidden units create queues at the few people can find.
Plan around the service vehicle first, then the unit. Work out where the truck can park at your New Orleans address and place units within about 25 feet of it.
Spread a large New Orleans 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.
Signage helps at the margins on a large New Orleans site, but it does not fix an under count. If the queue is long, people look for alternatives regardless of the signs.

New Orleans porta potty questions
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Orleans go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
Can I rent a unit for a whole year in New Orleans?
Yes. Long term rentals are standard on construction projects and are usually billed monthly with weekly service included.
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.
How much space does a unit need?
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear area plus access for the service truck.
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.
