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 Columbia jobsite, about 81 days a year at 90 degrees or more 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 place units in shade on firm ground where the lot allows. 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 Columbia that weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling: the city averages about 81 days a year at 90 degrees or more, and heat breaks waste down fast, so busy jobsites, long shifts, and food-service events get a mid-week visit. On multi-day events like a stretch of fair-week and game-day traffic, we schedule service before each day's crowd. In the few cold snaps each winter we protect hand-wash water from freezing. 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 Columbia event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Columbia 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 fenced jobsite, or a private lot, you generally do not need a permit for a portable toilet in Columbia. The street is different, and in Columbia the first question is who owns it: the City maintains only about 30 percent of the streets inside the city limits and SCDOT maintains the rest. Street closings for events go through the City's Office of Special Events with a Special Event Request, processing fees, and a neighborhood letter of support, plus an SCDOT letter of approval when the street is SCDOT's. Construction and crane companies that need a road, lane, or sidewalk closure call the City for a temporary encroachment. No rule is written specifically for portable toilets, so we check the road ownership map for your address, confirm what applies, and coordinate it before delivery. 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 Columbia and the surrounding Columbia metro area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early. Weekend event units are delivered clean before your event and picked up after. Enter your ZIP or call (866) 858-3867 and we will confirm the soonest available delivery for your address.

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

Not on private ground or a lot space you control. If your event closes or uses a public street, the City of Columbia's Office of Special Events handles it: you submit a Special Event Request, pay the processing fees, and provide a letter of support from your neighborhood president, and because SCDOT owns about 70 percent of the streets inside the city limits, many closures also need an SCDOT letter of approval. Around Williams-Brice Stadium in October, when Gamecock home games and the 11-day South Carolina State Fair on Rosewood Drive can overlap, book units early and tell us the exact lot and space so we can reach it before the traffic does.
