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.
Treat the OSHA number as the point below which you are non compliant, not the number to order. Comfortable and compliant are different thresholds, and crews notice the difference by midweek.
The symptom of an under serviced unit is predictable: fine on Monday, avoided by Thursday. If crews are leaving a Columbus site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
Where should units go on a Columbus site?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Columbus sites, units should be staked or strapped, particularly if they sit on a hard surface where they cannot be anchored into ground.
Each unit needs roughly 5 by 5 feet of clear ground including the door swing, on a surface firm enough that it will not settle after a wet week.
Units arrive cleaned, restocked and deodorised from the yard, so the first use is on a fresh unit. That matters more at a Columbus event than on a job site.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Lowndes County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Columbus porta potty questions
Do units need lighting at a Columbus event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
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.
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 Lowndes go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
Can I get units delivered on a weekend in Columbus?
Often yes, though weekend delivery and collection sometimes carry a surcharge. Book early for Saturday events, that is the busiest day of the week.
