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.
Job sites are counted by peak crew, not by project headcount. A Amherst site running 60 workers during framing and 12 during fit out needs provision sized for 60 while that phase lasts.
A service visit pumps the tank, washes the interior, restocks the paper and adds fresh deodoriser. Weekly covers roughly 100 uses, which is about 10 workers across a five day week.
What should you plan for in Amherst?
Spread units into two or three smaller banks across a large Amherst site rather than one row. Walking distance drives usage patterns more than the raw count does.
The access rule is simple and worth designing around: within about 25 feet of where the truck can stop. Courtyards and rear lots on Amherst sites frequently fail it.
Flag gate codes, restricted hours and soft ground when you book. All three are workable at Amherst sites with notice and all three cause a failed visit without it.
Signage helps at the margins on a large Amherst site, but it does not fix an under count. If the queue is long, people look for alternatives regardless of the signs.

Amherst porta potty questions
Are the units cleaned before delivery?
Yes. Units are cleaned, restocked and deodorised at the yard before they go out, so the first use is on a fresh unit.
Are urinal only units available in Amherst?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
How much is a porta potty for one day in Amherst?
A standard unit for a one day event typically runs $150 to $275 delivered and collected. Flushable deluxe units cost more, and trailers are priced per day in the hundreds to low thousands.
Do units need lighting at a Amherst event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Amherst?
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.
