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 Rapid City jobsite, the season runs long at both ends: about 175 nights a year at or below freezing with snow into April and May, and about 32 days a year at 90 or above, so we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, winterizing well into spring, and adding a hand-wash station at the break area. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Rapid City 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 summer, with a July average high near 87 and about 32 days a year at 90 or above, we add a mid-week visit for large crews, food service, and fair or rodeo crowds, and schedule service between days for multi-day events. From fall through late spring we keep antifreeze in the tank, since April is the snowiest month, and ask that the lane to the unit be cleared after a storm. For units near Rapid Creek we move a visit or pickup forward when a flash flood watch is issued. Service is built into the rate, so it 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 Rapid City event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Rapid City 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 with clear truck access, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Rapid City. Events are different: under Rapid City Municipal Code Chapter 12.20, events of 25 or more people in a park, city facility, or public right-of-way need a special event permit from Parks and Recreation, applied for 90 days ahead. The Special Event Handbook requires portable toilets on a hard surface and accessible path, shown on the site map, with the location approved by a City employee, and events that close streets need a Traffic Control Plan. Placing anything in the right-of-way without that approval can fall under the city's unlawful obstruction rules. For a unit in the street during construction, we confirm the requirements with the City of Rapid City Public Works Engineering Services division before delivery. A unit can never block a sidewalk, curb ramp, driveway, or hydrant.

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

Near the creek, yes. The June 9, 1972 flash flood, when Canyon Lake Dam failed and Rapid Creek rose as much as 3.5 feet in 15 minutes, killed 238 people according to the National Weather Service, and the city then turned about 750 acres along the creek into an open floodway where development is prohibited. It struck in early summer during thunderstorms, not during snowmelt. For sites on or near the greenway, we place units on high, firm ground away from the water and drainage paths, anchor them, and move a service or pickup forward when a flash flood watch or warning is issued for the Black Hills.
