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.
Event ratios assume a crowd that flows. If your East Lansing event has a defined break where everyone moves at once, round the count up, because the ratio describes the average rather than the peak.
Review the schedule when the site changes. A East Lansing project that needed twice weekly during framing rarely needs it through a fit out with a third of the crew.
What do East Lansing organisers need to know?
Set units on firm, level ground in East Lansing. Soft or sloping ground lets a unit settle or tip, and a gravel pad or a sheet of plywood under the base solves it cheaply.
Keep about 5 by 5 feet clear per unit and leave the approach for the service truck open. Both matter for the whole rental rather than just the delivery day.
Spread a large East Lansing 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.
Units arrive from the yard cleaned, restocked and deodorised, so the first use is on a fresh unit. On a East Lansing event that is the detail guests actually notice.

East Lansing porta potty questions
Do you provide units for Ingham County public events?
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.
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.
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 far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Ingham go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
Can units be placed on a sloping East Lansing site?
They need to sit level, so a sloping site usually means a levelled pad of gravel or plywood. Tell the provider when you book so they bring what they need.
