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 Burlington jobsite, winter is the planning problem more than summer heat: we keep the unit off the street where snow-ban plowing runs, winterize it for a freeze season that can start in September and run into May, and on busy crews still recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum with a hand-wash station at the break area. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Burlington 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 a Burlington winter the challenge is access and freezing more than odor: we winterize the tank, keep units off the street where snow-ban plowing runs, schedule visits in daylight on ban days, and clear snow from doors and vents after a storm. In summer, heat is mild, with July afternoons around 82 degrees, but crowds are not: for Jazz Fest, marathon weekend, and Marketplace events we add service between event days so units never fall behind the crowd. 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 Burlington event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Burlington 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 genuinely private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a fenced construction site, a business lot, or a backyard, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Burlington. The moment any part of the unit blocks the public right-of-way, the Burlington Department of Public Works rule applies: a permit is required for any person or company to block or disturb the ground or pavement in any street, sidewalk, greenbelt, or curb, with insurance, a permit bond, and plans submitted before anyone is on city property, and Public Works issues obstruction, excavation, curb cut, and encumbrance permits for that use. The greenbelt, the grass strip between sidewalk and curb, counts. On the Church Street Marketplace, ordinance keeps nine feet on each side as a pedestrian-only way, and any work obstructing the pedestrian right-of-way needs a Marketplace obstruction permit, good for up to 30 days. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private, on the Marketplace, or in the street, and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate it before delivery.

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

We do not recommend it, and in most cases we will not place one there. Burlington averages about 86 inches of snow a year at its NOAA airport station, and the city runs its streets on snow bans called by 3 PM and signaled by the overhead parking lights, from 10 PM to 7 AM citywide and midnight to 6 AM downtown, when plows need the curb lanes clear. Surface municipal lots are also closed to overnight parking from December 1 to March 15. A unit at the curb is in the plow's path and cannot be moved on a few hours' notice, and any unit that blocks a street, sidewalk, or greenbelt needs a Public Works permit in any season. From late fall into spring we set units on driveways, jobsite pads, and private lots our truck can reach from a cleared street, winterize them against about 145 freezing nights a year, and keep a shoveled path to the door.
