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 Lansing jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum and adding a hand-wash station at the break area in the warm months, then winterizing the tank through a winter that averages around 50 inches of snow and keeping units on high ground near the rivers, where a midwinter thaw has pushed the Grand River into flood. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Lansing 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 83 degrees, weekly is the floor and we add a mid-week visit for heavy crews, food vendors, and event weekends. From late fall into spring, with January lows near 17 degrees and about 50 inches of snow in a typical year, we winterize the tank and hold the service day on schedule so waste never sits and freezes. Near the rivers we also watch the Grand River forecast during thaws and move a unit to higher ground if a crest is coming. 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 Lansing event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Lansing 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 yard, a business lot, or a fenced jobsite, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Lansing. If any part of the unit must sit in a public street or on a public sidewalk inside the City of Lansing, the Public Service Department handles right-of-way permits, including its Use of Right-of-Way Permit. The City does not publish a separate portable toilet permit, so we confirm a curbside placement with Public Service directly. Lansing's city limits are irregular, and East Lansing and the surrounding townships have their own rules, so the first step is confirming which government your address falls under. Near the Grand or Red Cedar rivers, the City's floodplain rules may also apply. 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 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 Lansing, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Yes. At the National Weather Service's Lansing gauge on the Grand River, minor flooding starts at 11 feet, and while the record crest was 15.43 feet in April 1975, the second highest, 14.62 feet, came on February 23, 2018, with another top crest in February 1985. A thaw with rain on frozen ground can push the river up fast. Near the Grand or the Red Cedar, the River Trail, or low ground around REO Town and downtown, we set units on the highest level footing on the site, away from riverbanks, ditches, and storm inlets, and we watch the river forecast from late winter through spring. If a crest is forecast we move the unit to higher ground before the water arrives. Give us the exact address and we check it before we pick a spot.
