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 Chattanooga jobsite, crews use the unit more through a humid valley summer than a bare headcount suggests, so we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and siting units on firm ground that holds after the heavy rain this valley gets. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga that weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling. The city sees roughly 52 days a year at or above 90 degrees with valley humidity, so on high-traffic jobsites and food-service events, including riverfront festivals, we add a mid-week visit rather than stretch the schedule. Because this valley gets more than 52 inches of rain a year, we also plan the service route so the pump truck can reach the unit on firm ground after a storm. 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 Chattanooga event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Chattanooga 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 truck access, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, a plant or warehouse yard, a backyard, a parking lot, or a private event venue, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Chattanooga. The moment any part of the unit sits on a city street or sidewalk, Chattanooga City Code Section 32-44 requires a permit to place an obstruction on or over any City right-of-way, and the City of Chattanooga Transportation Department, part of Public Works, issues it as the Temporary Use of the Right-of-Way permit, the same permit used for dumpsters and pods. State routes fall under the Tennessee Department of Transportation, unincorporated Hamilton County is outside the city's authority, and sites across the line in Georgia answer to a Georgia city or county. The unit can never block a curb ramp, a hydrant, a driveway, or the clear pedestrian path. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or in the right-of-way, and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate the permit 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 Chattanooga and the surrounding Hamilton 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 Chattanooga, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Chattanooga averages more than 52 inches of precipitation a year, and runoff off the surrounding ridges finds every low spot, so we set units on firm, level ground or a gravel pad above the water path, clear of storm inlets and drainage swales, with a truck route that holds after heavy rain. Spring also brings severe storms: the April 12, 2020 EF3 tornado tracked 18.37 miles from Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, into East Brainerd with winds near 145 mph. From March through May we anchor units on open or exposed sites and keep them clear of trees and loose material. After a storm, demand spikes for cleanup crews and properties without working plumbing, and we prioritize getting a compliant unit to those sites fast. Tell us if your site sits low or exposed and we place the unit for it.
