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 St. Louis jobsite, crews hydrate and use the unit more through a hot, humid river-valley summer than a bare headcount suggests, so we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum and adding a hand-wash station at the break area; in winter we winterize the unit so a frozen tank and ice never take it out of service, and on low riverfront ground we keep units off the lowest footing given the area's flood history. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard St. Louis 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 St. Louis that weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling. Summers are hot and humid, with July averaging around 80 degrees and muggy river-valley air, and that heat and moisture break waste down fast, so on high-traffic jobsites and food-service events, downtown ballgame and festival crowds included, we add a mid-week visit rather than stretch the schedule. Winter flips the problem to ice and freezing rain as much as snow: we winterize the tank, keep units on stable, level footing off icing-prone surfaces, and plan service around the freeze-thaw cycle so a route truck is not fighting a glazed gate. On low riverfront ground we also keep an eye on the Mississippi forecast. 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 St. Louis event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in St. Louis 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 site, a backyard, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in St. Louis. The moment any part of the unit sits on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, the City of St. Louis Street Department requires a Blocking Right of Way Permit, which is required for any activity that will block any portion of the street or sidewalk, including dumpster and equipment placement, moving trucks, and construction-related street closures; if a portion of the right-of-way is removed, an Excavation Permit is required and non-plumbing excavations are routed through the Board of Public Service. A helpful St. Louis quirk: because it is an independent city that belongs to no county, one City of St. Louis authority governs the whole city, so the office is not address-ambiguous within the city limits the way a bi-state metro is. The unit can never block a curb ramp, a hydrant, a driveway, or the clear pedestrian path. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or in the right-of-way, and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate the permit with the City of St. Louis 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 St. Louis, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Yes, and it actually simplifies it inside the city. St. Louis is an independent city: in the 1876 Great Divorce it separated from St. Louis County and today belongs to no county, so one City of St. Louis government runs its permits rather than a county or a split-metro patchwork. Unlike bi-state Kansas City, where the authority is address-specific across two states, a right-of-way placement anywhere inside the City of St. Louis answers to the same city authority. On genuinely private property with clear truck access you generally do not need a permit at all. The moment a unit sits in a public street or sidewalk, the City of St. Louis Street Department issues a Blocking Right of Way Permit for obstructing the street or sidewalk, and an Excavation Permit if the right-of-way is being removed. A job across the river in Illinois or out in St. Louis County is a different authority, so give us the exact address and we route it correctly.
