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 Newark jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum for summer crews working the university turnover season, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and in winter winterizing the tank and keeping the unit off sidewalks that city code requires cleared within 24 hours after snow. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Newark 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. Weekly is the floor: large summer turnover crews and events with food get a mid-week visit rather than a stretched schedule. In winter we winterize the tank, place the unit where our truck can reach it without parking on a snow emergency route during a declared emergency, and keep a shoveled path to the door. Around the university's spring move-out and late-summer move-in, streets near campus get crowded, so we set service times that avoid blocking narrow residential blocks. 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 Newark event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Newark run $399 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 genuinely private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a rear parking pad, a fenced construction site, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Newark. When any part of the unit sits on a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way, the City of Newark Public Works and Water Resources Department issues a Right-of-Way Obstruction Permit, applied for online through the city's permit portal. Events that affect the ordinary use of streets or sidewalks also need a special event permit from the Newark Police Department, with at least 30 days notice. If your street is a state road, DelDOT rather than the city may govern it, and we confirm which applies. In winter, remember that city code requires sidewalks to be cleared within 24 hours after snowfall, so a unit must never sit where the walk has to be shoveled. Tell us the exact address and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate it before delivery.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $295/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 $399/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 Newark and the surrounding New Castle County 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 Newark, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

It depends on whether the event touches the public way. The Newark Police Department requires a special event permit for any gathering that will affect the ordinary use of public streets, rights-of-way, or sidewalks, even when the event itself happens on private property, and it asks for at least 30 days notice. University-sponsored events and truly private gatherings are excluded, but the city does not treat a gathering as private if admission, food, or drinks are sold or more than 150 people are expected. A block party that closes a street needs a Chief of Police permit with at least 5 days notice. The organizer holds the event permit; we size the restroom bank to the crowd and hours, add hand-wash stations where food is served, and place units where the truck can service them without blocking the street. If a unit itself has to sit in the right-of-way, the city's Public Works Right-of-Way Obstruction Permit applies, and we coordinate that for you.
