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 Rochester jobsite, we recommend sizing to the real crew count including subcontractors, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, winterizing from fall to spring for January lows near 7 degrees, and keeping the unit off sidewalks and crosswalks downtown. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Rochester 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 through the warm months, and we add a mid-week visit on busy jobsites and during Rochesterfest week in June. In winter, with January lows near 7 degrees and about 53 inches of snow a season, every visit also recharges the antifreeze and we need a shoveled path to the door. Downtown, we time service to stay out of peak patient and visitor traffic. 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 Rochester event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Rochester 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 in Rochester, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, a backyard, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet. The moment any part of the unit sits on a street, sidewalk, or alley, the City of Rochester Public Works Department requires an Obstruction Permit, which applies whenever an object or equipment is placed within the city's right-of-way under Rochester Code of Ordinances 9-1 and 9-2. Smaller, short-duration obstructions fall under Tier 1 and larger, long-duration construction impacts under Tier 2, and large projects are expected to meet Public Works 2 to 4 months before construction. Portable toilets are not named separately, so we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate it before delivery. The unit can never block a sidewalk, curb ramp, hydrant, or driveway, which matters downtown where patients and visitors are on foot all day. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or in the right-of-way.

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

Only if any part of the unit sits in a street, sidewalk, or alley, and downtown that is common. The City of Rochester Public Works Department requires an Obstruction Permit whenever an object or equipment is placed in the city right-of-way. Short, small obstructions such as a dumpster fall under Tier 1, and large, long-duration construction impacts fall under Tier 2. For big projects, the City expects the construction team to meet Public Works 2 to 4 months before construction to plan right-of-way use, so the restroom location should be part of that plan. With Mayo Clinic and Destination Medical Center projects and the Link bus rapid transit build on 2nd Street running through August 2027, we plan downtown placements early and coordinate the permit before delivery.
