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 Hilo jobsite, where warm, humid air holds all year and rain falls in every month, we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and placing units on firm, draining ground so a wet week never makes the restroom hard to reach or service. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Hilo 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 Hilo that weekly interval is the floor. Normal highs sit around 78 to 83 degrees every month and the air stays humid, so waste breaks down quickly year-round, and on high-traffic jobsites, food events, and Merrie Monarch week we add a mid-week visit rather than stretch the schedule. Rain is the other planning factor: with about 120 inches a year, we make sure every unit sits on firm, draining ground the service truck can reach after a wet stretch. 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 Hilo event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Hilo 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 jobsite, a parking lot, or a private yard, you generally do not need a permit for a portable toilet in Hilo. Hilo is not an incorporated city: its public roads and sidewalks are County of Hawaii right-of-way. The County Department of Public Works Engineering Division administers Hawaii County Code Chapter 22, County Streets, and requires a permit for any type of work within the County right-of-way, filed through the County's EPIC online permitting system, and it issues a separate Sidewalk Use Permit for items placed on a County street or sidewalk. The County's page does not name portable toilets, so when a unit has to sit on a County shoulder or sidewalk we confirm the requirement with DPW Engineering for your exact address and coordinate it before delivery. In every case the unit never blocks a sidewalk, curb ramp, driveway, hydrant, or the clear pedestrian route.

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 Hilo and the surrounding Hawaii 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 Hilo, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Mostly it changes where and how the unit sits. NOAA's normals for Hilo International Airport put yearly rainfall at about 120 inches, with every month averaging roughly 7 inches or more and November the wettest. Soft, saturated ground can let a loaded unit settle or lean, so we set units on firm, level footing that drains, such as gravel, pavement, or a compacted pad, keep them out of low spots that hold water, and make sure the service truck has a route that stays firm after a wet week. Temperatures stay warm all year and never freeze, so there is no winterizing, but warm, humid air speeds up breakdown in the tank, which is why weekly service is our floor and busy sites get a mid-week visit. If you are booking for Merrie Monarch week in the spring, book early and tell us whether the ground is paved or grass.
