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 Southfield 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.
Weekly is the default because it matches the tank. Sixty to seventy gallons is around 100 uses, and ten people over a working week is about 100 uses, which is where both rules of thumb come from.
Where should units go on a Southfield site?
On Southfield sites with vehicle traffic, place units where a reversing truck cannot clip them and where workers do not have to cross a haul route to reach them.
Footprint is rarely the constraint; truck access is. A unit fits almost anywhere, but a unit the service truck cannot reach generates a charge on every scheduled visit.
Position units on the exit path at a Southfield event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Oakland County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Southfield porta potty questions
Do units need lighting at a Southfield event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
Do you have ADA accessible units?
Yes. ADA units are wider, have a ground level entry and interior grab bars, and follow the 2010 ADA Standards. Order at least one whenever the public has access.
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.
What is the difference between standard and flushable units?
A flushable deluxe unit has a foot operated flush, a fresh water sink and a mirror inside. Standard units have a holding tank, a seat and a hand sanitiser dispenser.
Do you provide units for Oakland 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.
