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 busy DC jobsite we recommend sizing above the bare OSHA minimum so crews never wait, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and adjusting the service interval for the season, more often in the humid summer, winterized against a freeze in the winter. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard DC 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. That weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling, and DC's climate pushes it both ways: in the humid summer, with highs near 88 degrees, waste breaks down faster, so we add a mid-week visit on high-traffic jobsites and food-service events, and in a winter cold snap we hold service on schedule and winterize the tank so waste never freezes solid between visits. 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 Washington event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Washington run $374 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.

It depends entirely on which ground the unit sits on, because Washington layers federal and city jurisdictions. On genuinely private property with clear truck access, a fenced construction site, a private lot, or a private yard, you generally do not need a permit, and the unit still cannot block a curb ramp, a hydrant, a building entrance, or the clear pedestrian path. On the National Mall and other federal parkland the National Park Service controls placement through its Division of Permits Management, and a demonstration of more than 25 people needs a free Park Service permit. The moment a unit sits on a DC city street, sidewalk, tree space, or alley, that is District public space and needs a DDOT public space permit through the Transportation Online Permit System instead. Major events add Secret Service and other security zones on top. Tell us the exact address, whether it is federal parkland, a city street, or private property, and whether it is construction or an event, and we confirm the correct path and coordinate it before delivery.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $270/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 $374/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 Washington and the surrounding District of Columbia 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 Washington, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

As early as the calendar allows, and earlier for anything on or near the National Mall. Washington runs one of the largest event-restroom markets in the country: a presidential inauguration stages thousands of portable toilets on the Mall, the Cherry Blossom Festival runs four weeks each spring, and the Fourth of July pulls huge crowds to the Monument grounds. On the biggest dates local supply tightens fast. For a large public event the National Park Service permit also sets the floor, requiring the permit holder to supply portable restrooms when its own facilities cannot cover the crowd. Give us the date, the head count, and whether the site is federal parkland, a city street, or private property, and we lock the unit count, the ADA ratio, and the delivery-and-pickup timing around your permit.
