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 Portland jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum for longer shifts and adding a hand-wash station at the break area; from December into March we winterize the tank and keep a shoveled path to the door, and on island jobs we size the order so the crew is not waiting on an extra ferry trip. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Portland 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 for a typical jobsite; busy events and large crews get a mid-week visit. In winter, when the Portland area averages about 69 inches of snow, we winterize the tank and schedule visits around storms and parking bans. Near the waterfront we check the tide and storm forecast before a visit, and on Peaks Island and the other islands we plan service around the Casco Bay Lines ferry. 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 Portland event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Portland 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 private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a rear yard, a fenced jobsite, or a business lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Portland. Once any part of the unit sits in the public way, the City of Portland requires a Street or Sidewalk Occupancy Permit for any occupancy of a public right of way, issued through Public Works' online permit services. That applies to a unit at the curb, in a parking space, or on a sidewalk. In winter, parking bans clear the streets for plowing, so we plan units off the street whenever possible, and on the waterfront we keep them off the lowest ground. Tell us the exact address and we confirm 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 $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 Portland and the surrounding Portland metro 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 Portland, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Tell us early, because an island job runs on the ferry schedule. Peaks Island and the other Casco Bay islands are reached from the Portland waterfront by Casco Bay Lines, which carries passengers, freight, and vehicles year-round, and Peaks Island is about a 20-minute ride. The unit, the service truck, and every service visit have to make that crossing, so we confirm the ferry logistics before we commit a date, size the order so you are not counting on extra trips, and place units where a vehicle coming off the boat can reach them. Send us the address, the dates, the guest or crew count, and whether you need hand-wash stations, and we will tell you exactly what we can set and when.
