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 Columbus jobsite we recommend sizing above the bare OSHA minimum so crews never wait, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and in the winter months winterizing the unit so a frozen tank never takes it out of service. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Columbus 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. That weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling: we add a mid-week visit on high-traffic jobsites, gameday and fairgrounds events, and food-service sites, and in the cold months, when January runs a low near 22 degrees and nights fall below freezing through most of the winter, we hold service on schedule and winterize the tank so waste never sits and freezes solid between visits. 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 Columbus event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Columbus 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 access, a driveway, a private parking lot, or a fenced construction site, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Columbus. The moment any part of the unit sits on a public street, sidewalk, alley, or right-of-way, a permit comes into play through the City of Columbus Department of Public Service, and the unit can never block a curb ramp, a hydrant, a building entrance, or the clear pedestrian path. The city's construction-related occupancy permit under City Code Chapter 903 is the path that already covers placing dumpsters and storage containers in the right-of-way, and a short-term non-construction occupancy runs under Chapter 906. Columbus's public permit materials name dumpsters and storage containers rather than portable toilets by name, so for any curbside unit we confirm the exact requirement with Public Service before we commit a date. Tell us the exact address, whether the drop is private or in the right-of-way, and whether it is for construction or an event, and we confirm the requirement and coordinate it 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. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Columbus and the surrounding Franklin 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 Columbus, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

As early as the calendar allows, and much earlier for anything on an Ohio State home-game Saturday or during fair week. Ohio Stadium seats more than 102,000 and Buckeye home games routinely fill it, so seven or eight fall Saturdays pull tailgate and lot-event demand across campus and the surrounding neighborhoods, and units and delivery windows tighten fast. The state fairgrounds and the capital's festival calendar do the same in summer. Give us the event date, the guest or crew count, and whether the site is a private lot, a campus-area property, the fairgrounds, or the public street, and we lock the unit count, any winter considerations, the delivery-and-pickup timing, and any city permit around your event.
