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 an Albany jobsite, dense blocks that rely on street parking often leave the curb as the only spot, so we confirm the location, the barricade permit, and service access before delivery, size above the OSHA minimum for the crew, and add a hand-wash station at the break area. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard 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. For most Albany jobsites a fixed weekly day works. Events in Washington Park, Lincoln Park, or on the riverfront get service sized to the crowd and between days on multi-day events, since the City leaves restrooms to the organizer. In spring we check riverfront units first when the Hudson is rising, and in winter we winterize the tank and route service around the snow emergency's even-side and odd-side days. 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 Albany event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Albany run $339 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 lot, a fenced jobsite, or a parking lot, you generally do not need a City permit for a portable toilet in Albany. The street and sidewalk are different: the Department of Buildings and Regulatory Compliance issues a Sidewalk and Barricade Permit, required whenever a project affects a public right-of-way such as a road or sidewalk, with a placement sketch and a clear, ADA-compliant walkway kept around the object. Reserving curb space takes Emergency No Parking signs from the Police Department's Traffic Engineering Division, requested at least four business days ahead, and for a container or similar object the barricade permit has to be approved first. We confirm what your spot needs and coordinate it before delivery. Events on City property need a Special Event permit from the City Clerk. A unit can never block a sidewalk, curb ramp, hydrant, or driveway. Tell us the exact address and we confirm which permit applies.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $285/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 $329/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 $1705/weekend. Pick by how guest-facing the site is and how long the rental runs.

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Albany and the surrounding Albany 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 Albany, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

No. The City's special event rules say it is unable to provide port-a-johns or portable washrooms, and the applicant must secure them at the applicant's expense; failing to provide adequate amenities can keep an organizer from holding future events. A City Special Event permit is required for 25 or more participants and for amplified sound, street closures, alcohol, tents or stages, or reserving a location, and applications are due at least 30 days ahead. Some venues have restrooms only part of the year, from around May 15 to October 1 at Jennings Landing and the Washington Park Lake House, and the Six Mile Waterworks bathrooms close from October 15 to April 15. Book with us once your date is set and we size the count, include accessible units, and deliver on paved access, since parking on the grass in City parks is prohibited.
