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.
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.
How should units be placed in Schenectady?
Keep Schenectady units within about 25 feet of where the service truck can park. That single constraint decides most placement questions on tight urban sites.
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.
Wind tips unsecured units, particularly when they are nearly empty. On exposed Schenectady sites they should be staked, or strapped where the ground cannot take a stake.
A quote for a Schenectady job site normally bundles delivery, the units, weekly servicing and collection into one monthly figure. Extra visits and long carries sit outside it.

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

Schenectady porta potty questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
What happens at the end of the rental?
The provider collects the units on the agreed date. For long term job site rentals, just call when the project finishes and they schedule the pickup.
