OSHA's construction sanitation rule, 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1), sets the floor: 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers above 200. OSHA also expects a worker to reach a toilet within about a 10-minute walk. On a Richmond jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum when a September heat spell pushes use up, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, keeping units clear of truck lanes, rail, and loading areas on industrial sites, and securing them against the steady wind off the bay. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Richmond monthly rental includes 4 service visits over the 28-day period, roughly weekly. Each visit pumps the tank, sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper, soap, and hand sanitizer. Richmond's fog-cooled summer keeps weekly service right for most sites, but September is the warmest month, so during warm spells and on busy jobsites and food-service events we add a mid-week visit rather than stretch the schedule. On industrial sites we build gate and safety rules into the route, we hold a visit when a Contra Costa County warning alert covers the area, and after winter storms we confirm the truck can still reach units on soft ground. Service is built into the rate, so compliance never depends on anyone remembering to call.

For an event open to the public, yes. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design require that at least 5 percent of the single-user portable toilets in each cluster be accessible, with a minimum of one, and each accessible unit is marked with the International Symbol of Accessibility. (Units provided only for construction workers are exempt.) In practice a small Richmond event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Richmond run $449 for a weekend. The accessible unit has ground-level entry, interior grab bars, and a full wheelchair turning radius, and it needs firm, level ground with a clear approach path. Tell us your guest count and we will build the right ratio in.

On private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a fenced construction site, a commercial lot, or an industrial yard, you generally do not need a permit for a portable toilet in Richmond. If the unit sits in the street or on the sidewalk inside city limits, the City of Richmond Public Works Engineering Division states that any work performed within the public right-of-way requires an Encroachment Permit, with the right-of-way generally covering the roadway and the sidewalk from property line to property line; applications go through the city's online permit portal, and Engineering can be reached at 510-307-8091. Many addresses with a Richmond mailing address, such as North Richmond, East Richmond Heights, and El Sobrante, are in unincorporated Contra Costa County, where the county, not the city, governs the road. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or public, and we confirm the jurisdiction and coordinate the permit before delivery.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $345/weekend. A deluxe flushing unit adds a foot-pump flushing bowl and an in-unit sink for guest-facing events like weddings and corporate functions at $449/weekend. A luxury restroom trailer is a climate-controlled, multi-stall unit with porcelain toilets, running-water sinks, and mirrors, indistinguishable from a fine-venue bathroom, from $1610/weekend. Pick by how guest-facing the site is and how long the rental runs.

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Richmond and the surrounding Richmond metro area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early. Weekend event units are delivered clean before your event and picked up after. Enter your ZIP or call (866) 858-3867 and we will confirm the soonest available delivery for your address.

Yes. A freestanding hand-wash station pairs with any toilet unit and needs no power or water hookup: it has a foot-pump faucet, soap, and paper towels, stocked at delivery and every service visit. One station serves roughly four toilet units, the ratio most health departments expect. For food and drink events in Richmond, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

We hold the visit and reschedule it. Contra Costa County's Community Warning System is the county's official emergency alert system, and it can tell people in an affected area to Shelter in Place, Prepare to Evacuate, or Evacuate Immediately. If a protective action covers your site, our truck does not go in until the alert is lifted, and we come back as soon as it is safe. On long jobs near Richmond's industrial shoreline we build a little slack into the service day so a single alert does not leave a unit overdue, and if your site has its own safety or gate rules, tell us and we build them into the route.
