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 regulation only covers work. For anything guest facing you are working from planning ratios, which is why two events with the same headcount can need different provision depending on duration and whether there is a bar.
More units on weekly service often costs less than fewer units on twice weekly, and it removes the queue at the peak as well. It is worth pricing both ways for a long Bellingham rental.
Where should units go on a Bellingham site?
Keep Bellingham units within about 25 feet of where the service truck can park. That single constraint decides most placement questions on tight urban sites.
On a long Bellingham rental, choose a position that will still work in month three. Sites change, and repositioning a unit carries a fee.
Position units on the exit path at a Bellingham event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
Trailers need level ground, a route for a tow vehicle and a power supply. Where a Bellingham venue cannot provide all three, deluxe flushable units are the realistic answer.

Distance from the provider yard affects Bellingham pricing on both delivery and every service visit, which is why local providers usually price better on long rentals.

Bellingham porta potty questions
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Bellingham?
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.
Do you provide units for Whatcom 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 far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Whatcom go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
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.
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.
