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.
The two rules are different in kind. The job site figure is a legal minimum you have to meet. The event figure is a planning convention that describes average demand, and average demand is not what forms a queue.
The symptom of an under serviced unit is predictable: fine on Monday, avoided by Thursday. If crews are leaving a Princeton site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
How should units be placed in Princeton?
For Princeton job sites, put the unit near the site entrance rather than deep in the work area. It keeps the service truck off the active site and shortens the walk for the crew.
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.
Review the order when the crew size changes. A Princeton site carrying six units through a fit out with a crew of twelve is paying for capacity nobody is using.
Trailers need level ground, a route for a tow vehicle and a power supply. Where a Princeton venue cannot provide all three, deluxe flushable units are the realistic answer.

The number of units moves your Princeton total more than the unit type does. Getting the count right from the headcount is the main lever on cost.

Princeton porta potty questions
How much space does a unit need?
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear area plus access for the service truck.
What happens if a unit is not serviced on schedule?
Call the provider. If the truck could not reach the unit, the visit normally still counts as billed, so keeping the approach clear on service days matters.
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.
Do you supply the units yourselves?
No. We are a free referral service. Your call connects you with an independent local provider who owns the units and handles delivery and servicing.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Princeton?
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.
