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.
Treat the OSHA number as the point below which you are non compliant, not the number to order. Comfortable and compliant are different thresholds, and crews notice the difference by midweek.
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 Harrisburg site?
For Harrisburg 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.
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.
Hand washing is a separate provision from the restroom itself. Where Harrisburg crews handle contaminants, a station with soap and running water is what the rule requires.
Where food is served at a Harrisburg event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.

Harrisburg porta potty questions
What happens in freezing weather?
Providers add antifreeze to the holding tank and may adjust the servicing schedule. Keep a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
Do you have ADA accessible units?
Yes. ADA units are wider, have a ground level entry and interior grab bars, and follow the 2010 ADA Standards. Order at least one whenever the public has access.
How much is a porta potty for one day in Harrisburg?
A standard unit for a one day event typically runs $150 to $275 delivered and collected. Flushable deluxe units cost more, and trailers are priced per day in the hundreds to low thousands.
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.
Do restroom trailers need power and water?
Most do. Trailers typically need a standard power connection and either a water hookup or an onboard fresh water tank, and they need level ground to sit on.
