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.
How should units be placed in Lancaster?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Lancaster sites, units should be staked or strapped, particularly if they sit on a hard surface where they cannot be anchored into ground.
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.
Units arrive cleaned, restocked and deodorised from the yard, so the first use is on a fresh unit. That matters more at a Lancaster event than on a job site.
Freezing weather means antifreeze in the tank, which the provider handles. The part that falls to you is a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.

Lancaster porta potty questions
Can I get units delivered on a weekend in Lancaster?
Often yes, though weekend delivery and collection sometimes carry a surcharge. Book early for Saturday events, that is the busiest day of the week.
Are urinal only units available in Lancaster?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
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.
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 I need a permit for a porta potty in Lancaster?
Not on private property in almost all cases. Public events and anything placed on a street or sidewalk may need a city permit that covers restroom provision.
