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 two rules are different in kind. The job site figure is a legal minimum you have to meet. The event figure is a planning convention that describes average demand, and average demand is not what forms a queue.
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.
Where should units go on a Harrisonburg site?
For Harrisonburg job sites, put the unit near the site entrance rather than deep in the work area. It keeps the service truck off the active site and shortens the walk for the crew.
On a long Harrisonburg rental, choose a position that will still work in month three. Sites change, and repositioning a unit carries a fee.
Units arrive cleaned, restocked and deodorised from the yard, so the first use is on a fresh unit. That matters more at a Harrisonburg event than on a job site.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in City of Harrisonburg County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Harrisonburg porta potty questions
How often will the unit be serviced in Harrisonburg?
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.
What happens in freezing weather?
Providers add antifreeze to the holding tank and may adjust the servicing schedule. Keep a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
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 I move a unit once it has been delivered in Harrisonburg?
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.
What happens if a unit is not serviced on schedule?
Call the provider. If the truck could not reach the unit, the visit normally still counts as billed, so keeping the approach clear on service days matters.
