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 Ann Arbor jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum and adding a hand-wash station at the break area through the hot July stretch, then winterizing the tank and keeping a plowed, level path to the unit through a winter that averages around 61 inches of snow at the University station. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Ann Arbor 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 summer, with July highs near 84 degrees and Art Fair week known for heat, weekly is the floor and we add a mid-week visit for heavy crews, food vendors, and event weekends; on Michigan football Saturdays we time service around game-day traffic. From late fall into spring, with January lows near 16 degrees and about 61 inches of snow a year at the University station, we winterize the tank and hold the service day on schedule so waste never sits and freezes. 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 Ann Arbor event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Ann Arbor 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 private property with clear access, a driveway, a side yard, a business lot, or a fenced jobsite, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Ann Arbor. If any part of the unit must sit in a public street or on a public sidewalk, the City of Ann Arbor Engineering Department requires a Right-of-Way Permit for construction work in the public right-of-way, valid for one year, and if the work affects traffic a Traffic Control Permit Application is also required at least 72 hours before work, or 10 business days before a full lane or road closure with a detour. The City does not publish a separate portable toilet permit, so we confirm a curbside placement with Engineering directly. During a declared winter on-street parking ban, a unit at the curb also has to stay out of the plows' way. The unit can never block a curb ramp, a hydrant, a driveway, or the clear sidewalk. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or public, and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate it with the City 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. 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 Ann Arbor, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

As early as you know the date. The Ann Arbor Art Fair runs three days each July across a 30-block downtown footprint and, by the organizers' count, draws nearly half a million visitors, with street closures and barriers at the fair perimeters. Michigan home football weekends bring enough visiting fans that the City plans extra emergency coverage for them. On both, restroom demand across the city peaks on the same days and traffic makes same-day delivery unrealistic, so we deliver ahead of closures or game day, place units on firm, level ground out of the crowd flow, pair them with hand-wash stations, and add a service visit for multi-day events. Give us the date, expected headcount, and exact site and we build the plan.
