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.
Where the public attends, add at least one ADA accessible unit regardless of the total. The 2010 ADA Standards set the dimensions, and the cost difference on a single unit is small.
A service visit pumps the tank, washes the interior, restocks the paper and adds fresh deodoriser. Weekly covers roughly 100 uses, which is about 10 workers across a five day week.
What do Charleston organisers need to know?
Lighting is worth planning for any Charleston event running past dusk. Units without internal lighting become unusable after dark unless the surrounding area is lit.
Allow about 5 by 5 feet per unit once the door swing is counted, and make sure the service vehicle can pull within roughly 25 feet. That access distance decides most placements on a tight Charleston site.
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 Charleston site, but it does not fix an under count. If the queue is long, people look for alternatives regardless of the signs.

Charleston porta potty questions
Are urinal only units available in Charleston?
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.
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 you provide units for Charleston 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.
How much notice do you need for a Charleston job site?
A few days is usually enough for a standard unit. Trailers, ADA units and large multi unit orders need longer, particularly in peak season.
What happens at the end of the rental?
The provider collects the units on the agreed date. For long term job site rentals, just call when the project finishes and they schedule the pickup.
