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 regulation only covers work. For anything guest facing you are working from planning ratios, which is why two events with the same headcount can need different provision depending on duration and whether there is a bar.
Multi day events in Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia?
Keep Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia sites they should be staked, or strapped where the ground cannot take a stake.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Philadelphia County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

What you pay in Philadelphia depends on the unit type, the rental length and how often the truck comes. A standard unit on weekly service is the baseline, and everything else prices from there.

Philadelphia porta potty questions
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Philadelphia?
The provider can reposition it, usually for a fee. On a long rental it is cheaper to choose a position at the start that will still work later in the project.
Are urinal only units available in Philadelphia?
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.
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.
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.
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.
