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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
Where should units go on a Tacoma site?
If a Tacoma 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.
Set units on firm, level ground. On grass or graded soil a gravel bed or a sheet of plywood underneath prevents the settling that leads to a tipped unit.
Units arrive cleaned, restocked and deodorised from the yard, so the first use is on a fresh unit. That matters more at a Tacoma event than on a job site.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Pierce County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Tacoma porta potty questions
Do units need lighting at a Tacoma event?
For anything running past dusk, yes. Most units have a daylight roof panel only and become unusable after dark without surrounding light.
Can I rent a unit for a whole year in Tacoma?
Yes. Long term rentals are standard on construction projects and are usually billed monthly with weekly service included.
Are urinal only units available?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they can cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Pierce go much earlier, so book as soon as the date is fixed.
How much is a porta potty for one day in Tacoma?
A standard unit for a one day event typically runs $150 to $275 delivered and collected. Flushable deluxe units cost more, and trailers are priced per day in the hundreds to low thousands.
