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 Amherst jobsite, a Western New York winter and a soft spring thaw both threaten access, so we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, winterizing every tank from November through March, and setting units on pavement or compacted gravel where the service truck can always reach them. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Amherst 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 service holds for most Amherst homes and jobsites. In summer we add a mid-week visit for busy sites and events. From November through March we winterize every tank, keep units off the street for the plows, and service on the cleared route after a snowfall, and in the spring thaw we confirm the truck can reach units on soft ground before each visit. 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 Amherst event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Amherst 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 yard, a fenced jobsite, or a private lot, you generally do not need a permit for a portable toilet in Amherst. In a street or on a sidewalk, the answer depends on who owns the road. The Town of Amherst Highway Department maintains the local streets, but most major roadways in the town are maintained by the New York State DOT and Erie County Highway, and the Erie County Division of Highways issues permits for work on county roads through its permit portal. Streets inside the Village of Williamsville are handled by the Village's Department of Public Works. The Town does not publish a right-of-way permit written specifically for portable toilets, so we confirm with the agency that owns your curb what the placement needs and coordinate it before delivery. Block parties need a Town Clerk permit requested at least two weeks ahead. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or public.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $275/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 $1810/weekend. Pick by how guest-facing the site is and how long the rental runs.

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Amherst and the surrounding Amherst metro area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early.

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

We do not recommend it, and on many roads it would get in the way of the plows. The Town of Amherst runs an overnight parking ban from November 1 through March 31 between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., the Highway Department salts and plows more than 320 miles of Town and County roads, and the Town treats objects left in the street as an obstruction to plowing. From November through March we place units in a driveway, on a paved pad, or on the lot, set back from where the plow leaves its bank, winterize the tank, and ask for a shoveled path to the door. If the only spot is in the right-of-way, we first confirm whether the road belongs to the Town, Erie County, New York State, or the Village of Williamsville, and coordinate with that agency before delivery.
