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 Charleston jobsite, more than 60 days a year at 90 degrees or above means crews drink and use the unit more than a headcount suggests, so we size above the OSHA minimum, add a hand-wash station at the break area, and keep units on high ground away from tidal flooding. 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. In Charleston that weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling: the city averages about 64 days a year at 90 degrees or more, and heat and humidity break waste down fast, so busy jobsites and events get a mid-week visit rather than a stretched schedule. On low ground we time visits around the tide forecast, and when a tropical storm threatens we secure or pull units. 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 Charleston event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Charleston 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 driveway, a side yard, a fenced jobsite, or a private lot, you generally do not need a permit for a portable toilet in Charleston. The street and sidewalk are different: the City of Charleston Department of Traffic and Transportation issues Street Blocking Permits through the City's online Customer Self Service portal for street closures, meter bags, moving trucks, and dumpsters. There is no permit written specifically for portable toilets, so if your unit has to go curbside or on the sidewalk we confirm with Traffic and Transportation which permit applies and coordinate it before delivery. Events on City streets, sidewalks, or parks need a Special Event Permit filed 60 to 120 days ahead depending on size, and state highways answer to SCDOT. A unit can never block a sidewalk, curb ramp, hydrant, or driveway.

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

For an event on City property, earlier than most people expect. The City of Charleston requires a Special Event Permit for events on public streets, sidewalks, parks, and other city property, and applications are due 60 days ahead for events under 500 people, 90 days ahead for up to 1,000, and 120 days ahead for more than 1,000. Every application needs a detailed site plan and an emergency action plan, and the Special Events Committee reviews each one. Show restroom and hand-wash locations on your site plan, then send it to us and we deliver the right count, with accessible units on a level path. In spring, around the Bridge Run and Spoleto Festival USA, book units early too.
