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 Detroit 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.
The symptom of an under serviced unit is predictable: fine on Monday, avoided by Thursday. If crews are leaving a Detroit site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
Where should units go on a Detroit site?
Keep Detroit units within about 25 feet of where the service truck can park. That single constraint decides most placement questions on tight urban sites.
On a long Detroit rental, choose a position that will still work in month three. Sites change, and repositioning a unit carries a fee.
Wind tips unsecured units, particularly when they are nearly empty. On exposed Detroit sites they should be staked, or strapped where the ground cannot take a stake.
A quote for a Detroit job site normally bundles delivery, the units, weekly servicing and collection into one monthly figure. Extra visits and long carries sit outside it.

Detroit porta potty questions
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 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 Wayne go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
How often will the unit be serviced in Detroit?
Weekly is the standard on job sites. In summer heat, or with more than about 10 workers per unit, twice weekly keeps the unit usable.
Can I get units delivered on a weekend in Detroit?
Often yes, though weekend delivery and collection sometimes carry a surcharge. Book early for Saturday events, that is the busiest day of the week.
