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.
For an event, start from the guest count and the duration. One unit per 50 guests covers four hours, each additional two hours adds a unit per 100 guests, and alcohol adds about 15 percent on top.
Heavy use and heat both shorten the interval. A Brownsville site that is comfortable on weekly service in spring often needs twice weekly through the hottest months.
What should you plan for in Brownsville?
Spread units into two or three smaller banks across a large Brownsville site rather than one row. Walking distance drives usage patterns more than the raw count does.
The access rule is simple and worth designing around: within about 25 feet of where the truck can stop. Courtyards and rear lots on Brownsville sites frequently fail it.
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 Brownsville site, but it does not fix an under count. If the queue is long, people look for alternatives regardless of the signs.

Brownsville porta potty questions
How many units do I need for 150 guests?
Start at 3 standard units for a 4 hour event. Add roughly 15 percent if alcohol is served, include at least one ADA unit, and add one hand wash station.
What is the minimum rental period?
Events are priced per day. Job site rentals are normally monthly with weekly servicing included, and one month is the usual minimum.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Brownsville?
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.
Can I get units delivered on a weekend in Brownsville?
Often yes, though weekend delivery and collection sometimes carry a surcharge. Book early for Saturday events, that is the busiest day of the week.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Brownsville?
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.
