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 Gaithersburg 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.
Servicing is the other difference. A Gaithersburg job site on weekly service gets the tank pumped, the unit cleaned and the paper restocked once a week, which suits a crew of up to about 10 per unit.
Where should units go on a Gaithersburg site?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Gaithersburg sites, units should be staked or strapped, particularly if they sit on a hard surface where they cannot be anchored into ground.
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.
Position units on the exit path at a Gaithersburg event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
Trailers need level ground, a route for a tow vehicle and a power supply. Where a Gaithersburg venue cannot provide all three, deluxe flushable units are the realistic answer.

Gaithersburg porta potty questions
What is the minimum rental period?

The tank is pumped, the unit is washed down, the paper is restocked and deodoriser is added. Any damage is noted and reported.
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.

Yes. Public events usually need at least one ADA accessible unit, and the local authority may specify counts and placement as part of the event permit.
