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 Reading jobsite, about 24 days a year at 90 or hotter raise water intake and unit use above what a bare headcount suggests, and winter freezes tanks, so we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, adding a mid-week visit in summer, and winterizing every tank from late fall on. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Reading 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. From June through September, when July highs average about 86 degrees and humidity is high, weekly is the floor, and on busy jobsites, ballgame and event crowds, and food events we add a mid-week visit. September is the wettest month, so after heavy storms we check units on soft ground and near the river. In winter we winterize every tank and schedule service after the streets are plowed, reaching hillside sites from the flattest approach. 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 Reading event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Reading run $399 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 back yard off an alley, a commercial lot, or a fenced construction site, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Reading. If a unit has to sit in the street, on the sidewalk, or in an alley, the City of Reading Building and Trades Division issues a Temporary Dumpster/Storage Unit Permit that asks for the location, the hauler, and the property owner, includes a hold-harmless agreement, and follows Ordinance 51-2022 on containers in the right-of-way. The form does not list portable toilets, so we confirm with the City how the unit should be filed and coordinate it before delivery. For an event, the City's Special Event application is due 90 days ahead and asks you to name your portable toilet and hand-wash sink provider, so book us first and put our name on the form. 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 $295/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 $399/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 Reading and the surrounding Berks 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 Reading, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

On low ground near the river, yes. The National Weather Service gauge on the Schuylkill at Reading reached a record 31.3 feet in Hurricane Agnes in 1972, about double its 15.5-foot flood stage, and crested above 20 feet again in 2006 and 2011. September is also Reading's wettest month on average, the season when tropical remnants reach Berks County. For a jobsite or event near the river or on low industrial ground, we set units on the highest level spot available, watch the river forecast when a storm is coming, and move units ahead of rising water. Sites on the hills toward Mount Penn sit above the river, but we still check units on soft ground after a heavy storm.
