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 Akron jobsite, we recommend sizing to the real crew count including subcontractors, adding a hand-wash station at the break area through the humid, rainy May-to-July stretch, and placing units on level ground well away from storm inlets. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Akron 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 from late spring through summer, when May through July bring Akron's heaviest rain and July highs near 84 degrees, and we add a mid-week visit on busy jobsites and events such as summer concerts downtown. In winter, with January averaging about 35 degrees for a high and close to 47 inches of snow a season, we winterize the tank and keep the unit level and clear of the plow line. 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 Akron event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Akron 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 in Akron, a fenced jobsite, a driveway, 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 public street, sidewalk, or tree lawn, the City of Akron's Plans and Permits office in the Engineering Bureau governs it: the office issues Street Occupancy Permits and takes Right of Way Occupancy applications, and it asks that its inspections be scheduled 48 hours before work begins. 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, driveway, or storm inlet, and in Akron we keep units well clear of inlets because many connect to combined sewers. 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 $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. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Akron and the surrounding Summit County 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 Akron, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Because in much of Akron, a storm drain is part of a combined sewer system the city is spending an estimated $1.2 billion to fix under a federal consent decree. Combined sewers carry rainwater and sewage in the same pipes, and heavy rain used to overflow into the Ohio and Erie Canal, the Little Cuyahoga River, and the Cuyahoga. The Ohio Canal Interceptor Tunnel under downtown now stores up to 25.6 million gallons during storms, and the Northside Interceptor Tunnel is expected in service in December 2026. We place every unit on level ground away from inlets, catch basins, and banks, and our trucks pump and haul waste to proper disposal. Akron's wettest months are May through July, so we are especially careful on summer jobsites and events.
