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.
On a Saint Louis job site the OSHA table is a floor rather than a target. Most contractors order one unit per 10 workers, because that is the ratio that keeps a unit usable across a week of standard servicing.
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 Saint Louis site?
Keep Saint Louis units within about 25 feet of where the service truck can park. That single constraint decides most placement questions on tight urban sites.
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear space. The service truck needs to get within about 25 feet of each unit.
Position units on the exit path at a Saint Louis 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 St. Louis (city) County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Saint Louis porta potty questions
How often will the unit be serviced in Saint Louis?
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 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.
Can I rent a unit for a whole year in Saint Louis?
Yes. Long term rentals are standard on construction projects and are usually billed monthly with weekly service included.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Saint Louis?
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.
What is the minimum rental period?
Events are priced per day. Job site rentals are normally monthly with weekly servicing included, and one month is the usual minimum.
