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 an event, start from the guest count and the duration. One unit per 50 guests covers four hours, each additional two hours adds a unit per 100 guests, and alcohol adds about 15 percent on top.
Short events are delivered clean and collected afterwards, with no mid event service unless you ask. Anything running past about eight hours is worth scheduling a service visit into.
What should you plan for in Troy?
Position units downwind and away from food service at Troy events, but keep them visible. Hidden units create queues at the few people can find.
Plan around the service vehicle first, then the unit. Work out where the truck can park at your Troy address and place units within about 25 feet of it.
Order enough standard units and the ADA unit stays available for the people who need it. Accessible units get used by everyone when the queue at the standard units is long, which is a capacity problem rather than a signage one.
Signage helps at the margins on a large Troy site, but it does not fix an under count. If the queue is long, people look for alternatives regardless of the signs.

Troy porta potty questions
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.
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.
What do I do if a unit is damaged or tipped over?
Call the provider straight away. Most will right and reservice a tipped unit quickly, and damage caused by vandalism is usually covered by the rental terms.
Can units be placed on a sloping Troy site?
They need to sit level, so a sloping site usually means a levelled pad of gravel or plywood. Tell the provider when you book so they bring what they need.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Rensselaer go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
