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 Louisville jobsite, where humid subtropical Ohio Valley summers keep crews hydrating and using the unit more than a bare headcount suggests, we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, planning warehouse and logistics-site placement clear of the truck court, the dock apron, and the drive lanes, and for cold-weather work setting units on stable, well-drained ground clear of the plow and salt path and away from shaded low spots where an ice glaze forms. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Louisville 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 Louisville that weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling. Humid Ohio Valley summers keep waste breaking down fast, so odor control depends on the service interval, not the deodorizer, and on high-traffic warehouse and distribution jobsites and on event dates like Derby week and Kentucky Derby Festival events we add a mid-week or same-day visit rather than stretch the schedule. Two Louisville notes: on a large logistics or warehouse site we route service around the truck court and dock traffic so the truck never conflicts with the crews or the dock apron, and in winter we time and equip service so an ice-storm cold snap does not leave a unit out of use. 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 Louisville event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Louisville 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.

On genuinely private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a fenced construction or warehouse site, a backyard, a parking lot, or a private event venue, you generally do not need a Metro permit for a portable toilet in Louisville. The rules change the moment any part of the unit sits in the public right-of-way. Louisville Metro Public Works and Assets issues right-of-way permits and licenses for work in the public right-of-way across Louisville/Jefferson County Metro, now handled through the Louisville Metro Business Portal. Under Louisville Metro Code of Ordinances Section 97.070 (Obstruction of Public Ways), it is unlawful for any person to erect, keep, or maintain any object on or over any sidewalk, street, alley, or public way within Louisville Metro that obstructs or impedes public use of it, and any street furniture placed in the public way is subject to review and approval by Public Works first; penalties for Chapter 97 violations are set by Section 97.999. State-maintained routes fall under the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) instead of the Metro. The unit can never block a curb ramp, a driveway, a fire hydrant, a bus stop, or the clear pedestrian route. Tell us the exact address and whether the drop is private or in the right-of-way, and we confirm whether the route is Metro or state maintained, tell you what your spot needs, and coordinate the permit 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 Louisville and the surrounding Jefferson County area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early.

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

Louisville is inland on the Ohio River, so it does not face a coastal hurricane season, and it is not a spring-tornado town the way the Deep South is either. It plans for two river-valley hazards. Winter ice is the headline hazard: the January 2009 ice storm caused one of the largest power outages in Kentucky history, and ice storms still hit the metro. Ohio River flooding is the other risk the city knows well: Louisville sits at the Falls of the Ohio, and major Ohio River floods, most recently in the spring of 2025, still reach low ground along the riverfront. For a winter job we set units on stable, well-drained ground clear of the plow and salt path and away from shaded low spots where a freeze-thaw glaze forms. On low ground near the Ohio or a storm drain we site and anchor units clear of the water path rather than leaving them loose. Tell us if the site sits low or exposed and we place the unit accordingly.
