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 Nashville jobsite, where humid subtropical summers keep crews hydrating and using the unit more than a bare headcount suggests, we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, planning tight downtown crane-site placement around the pedestrian route and crane radius, and for cold-weather work setting units on stable, well-drained ground clear of the plow and salt path and away from shaded low spots where an ice glaze forms. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Nashville 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 Nashville that weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling. Humid Middle Tennessee summers keep waste breaking down fast, so odor control depends on the service interval, not the deodorizer, and on high-traffic jobsites and downtown event dates like CMA Fest week or a busy lower-Broadway weekend we add a mid-week or same-day visit rather than stretch the schedule. Two Nashville notes: on a tight downtown crane build we route service around the site access and loading windows so the truck never conflicts with the crane or the pedestrian route, and in winter we time and equip service so an ice-storm cold snap does not leave a unit out of use. 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 Nashville event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Nashville 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 construction site, a backyard, a parking lot, or a private event venue, you generally do not need a Metro permit for a portable toilet in Nashville. The rules change the moment any part of the unit sits in the public right-of-way. The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT), through the Metro Public Works Permitting Office, issues all right-of-way permits for work in the right-of-way across Nashville and Davidson County, including excavation, temporary street closure, lane closure, and sidewalk closure, and all of them must be applied for through ePermits at ePermits.nashville.gov. Under Metro Code of Ordinances Chapter 13.20 (Excavations and Obstructions), no person may make an excavation or establish an opening adjacent to a sidewalk or public right-of-way without proper barricades and precautions, and in connection with a permit the director has authority to temporarily close any street, road, alley, sidewalk, or other public way and to require MUTCD-compliant traffic-control devices. State-maintained routes fall under the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) instead of Metro. Suitable provisions have to be made for pedestrians whenever a sidewalk is affected, and the unit can never block a curb ramp, a driveway, a fire hydrant, a bus stop, or the clear pedestrian route. Tell us the exact address and whether the drop is private or in the right-of-way, and we confirm whether the route is Metro or state maintained, tell you 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 Nashville and the surrounding Davidson County 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 Nashville, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Nashville is inland, so it does not face a coastal hurricane season, but it is not a single-hazard town. It plans for three separate risks. Winter ice is the recurring cold-season hazard: when Gulf moisture rides over Arctic air, the metro gets ice storms roughly once or twice a winter, and even a quarter-inch glaze can down limbs and close roads. Flooding is the catastrophic outlier the city has already lived: the May 2010 flood dropped 13.57 inches of rain in two days and crested the Cumberland River at 51.86 feet. And spring brings tornadoes: the March 2020 outbreak killed 25 people across Middle Tennessee. For a winter job we set units on stable, well-drained ground clear of the plow and salt path and away from shaded low spots where a freeze-thaw glaze forms. On low ground near the Cumberland, a creek, or a storm drain we site and anchor units clear of the water path rather than leaving them loose. Tell us if the site sits low or exposed and we place the unit accordingly.
