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.
Multi day events in Charlotte are serviced nightly between sessions. That is standard practice on festivals rather than an upgrade you have to negotiate.
How should units be placed in Charlotte?
For Charlotte 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.
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.
Hand washing is a separate provision from the restroom itself. Where Charlotte crews handle contaminants, a station with soap and running water is what the rule requires.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Mecklenburg County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Charlotte 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.
Do units need lighting at a Charlotte event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
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.
Do you provide units for Mecklenburg County public events?
Yes. Public events usually need at least one ADA accessible unit, and the local authority may specify counts and placement as part of the event permit.
What is included in a service visit?
The tank is pumped, the unit is washed down, the paper is restocked and deodoriser is added. Any damage is noted and reported.
