How do I rent a porta potty in Herndon, VA?
Dial 1-833-520-0680 and we put you through to a Fairfax provider servicing Herndon. Give them the headcount, the duration and the access details, and they confirm the unit mix, the servicing frequency and the total cost.

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.
On a Herndon job site the OSHA table is a floor rather than a target. Most contractors order one unit per 10 workers, because that is the ratio that keeps a unit usable across a week of standard servicing.
The symptom of an under serviced unit is predictable: fine on Monday, avoided by Thursday. If crews are leaving a Herndon site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
How should units be placed in Herndon?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Herndon sites, units should be staked or strapped, particularly if they sit on a hard surface where they cannot be anchored into ground.
Each unit needs roughly 5 by 5 feet of clear ground including the door swing, on a surface firm enough that it will not settle after a wet week.
Hand washing is a separate provision from the restroom itself. Where Herndon crews handle contaminants, a station with soap and running water is what the rule requires.
Freezing weather means antifreeze in the tank, which the provider handles. The part that falls to you is a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
How is Herndon restroom rental priced?

The number of units moves your Herndon total more than the unit type does. Getting the count right from the headcount is the main lever on cost.

Herndon porta potty questions
How many hand wash stations should I order?
One per three to four units is the normal ratio. Go to one per two units for food service, weddings or anywhere children are present.
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.
How often will the unit be serviced in Herndon?
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 provide units for Fairfax 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.
