How do I rent a porta potty in Olympia, WA?
Call 1-833-520-0680 with the Olympia address, the headcount and how long you need the units. We connect you with an independent Thurston provider who sets the unit count, the servicing frequency and the delivery window. Standard, ADA, flushable and trailer units are all available locally.
Getting restroom rental right in Olympia starts with two numbers: how many people and for how long. From those, a local Thurston provider sets the unit count, the hand wash stations and the ADA units.

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.
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.
How should units be placed in Olympia?
If a Olympia site has a locked gate or restricted hours, give the provider the access details at booking. A missed service visit still counts as a service visit on most contracts.
Footprint is rarely the constraint; truck access is. A unit fits almost anywhere, but a unit the service truck cannot reach generates a charge on every scheduled visit.
Position units on the exit path at a Olympia event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
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.

Olympia porta potty questions
Can units be placed inside a gated site?
Usually, as long as the service truck can get within about 25 feet. Tell the provider about gate codes, soft ground or tight alleys when you book.
How often will the unit be serviced in Olympia?
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.
Do you provide units for Thurston 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 much space does a unit need?
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear area plus access for the service truck.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Olympia?
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.
