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.
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 Alexandria organisers need to know?
Set units on firm, level ground in Alexandria. Soft or sloping ground lets a unit settle or tip, and a gravel pad or a sheet of plywood under the base solves it cheaply.
Doors open outward, so a unit tucked tight against a wall or a fence loses usable space. Allow the extra foot and the clear route for the service truck.
Flag gate codes, restricted hours and soft ground when you book. All three are workable at Alexandria sites with notice and all three cause a failed visit without it.
Hand sanitiser in a standard unit is useful but is not the same provision as a sink. Where Alexandria work involves contaminants, the station is what the rule asks for.

Alexandria porta potty questions
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.
What is the difference between standard and flushable units?
A flushable deluxe unit has a foot operated flush, a fresh water sink and a mirror inside. Standard units have a holding tank, a seat and a hand sanitiser dispenser.
Do units need lighting at a Alexandria event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
Do you provide units for City of Alexandria 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 often will the unit be serviced in Alexandria?
Weekly is the standard on job sites. In summer heat, or with more than about 10 workers per unit, twice weekly keeps the unit usable.
