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 Gainesville jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum through the hot, humid summer, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and winterizing hand-wash and flushing units before freeze nights, which the city averages about 15 of each year. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Gainesville 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. In Gainesville weekly is the floor from late spring through September, when about 90 days a year reach 90 degrees or hotter and waste breaks down fast; large crews and food-service events get a mid-week visit. In winter we add antifreeze and winterize hand-wash stations before a freeze. Near campus we avoid scheduling service on home-game Saturdays, when streets around the stadium fill up. 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 Gainesville event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Gainesville 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 fenced construction site, a rear yard, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Gainesville. The rules change once any part of the unit sits in a city street, sidewalk, or parking space. The City of Gainesville Code of Ordinances requires anyone who wants to obstruct a city right-of-way to get a permit from the Public Works Department, through its Obstruction of Right-of-Way permit for temporary obstructions not related to utility work. Public Works reviews complete applications within fourteen business days, so allow time. The University of Florida campus, Alachua County roads, and state roads have their own rules. The unit can never block a sidewalk, a curb ramp, a driveway, a fire hydrant, or a storm drain. Tell us the exact address and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate any permit 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 Gainesville and the surrounding Alachua 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 Gainesville, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Yes, on some winter nights. Over 1991 to 2020 the Gainesville airport averaged about 15 nights a year at or below freezing, even though the same station averaged about 90 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. A standard unit handles a light freeze well, but water in a hand-wash station or a flushing unit can freeze. In the cold months we add a non-toxic antifreeze charge to standard units and winterize or drain hand-wash and flushing units before a forecast freeze. In summer, the opposite problem applies: heat speeds up odor, so we keep weekly service as the minimum and add visits for busy sites. Tell us your dates and we set up the unit for the season.
