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 Alexandria jobsite, crews use the unit more through a hot, humid Potomac summer than a bare headcount suggests, so we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and keeping the unit off low ground that floods in a sudden storm. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Alexandria 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 Alexandria that weekly interval is the floor, not the ceiling. July highs average near 90 degrees, so on large crews and summer events we add a mid-week or post-event visit rather than stretch the schedule. On tight Old Town and Del Ray blocks we time service around parking and loading so the truck does not block the street. In winter, with January lows near 30 degrees and about 14 inches of snow a year, we charge tanks with non-toxic antifreeze and keep hand-wash stations winterized. 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 Alexandria event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Alexandria 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 rear yard, a fenced construction site, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Alexandria. The public way is different. The City of Alexandria's Transportation and Environmental Services department requires a permit for any work in or use of the public right-of-way, meaning the street, the landscaping strip between the sidewalk and the street, the sidewalk, and public alleys. Apply at least five business days before the work, with a drawing showing the location and a maintenance of traffic plan; general liability insurance and a bond are required. The City's closest published rule, for dumpsters in the right-of-way, requires placement at least 20 feet from a stop bar or crosswalk with flashing barricades. Events in City parks need a separate special event permit, applied for about six months ahead. Tell us the exact address and where the unit would sit, and we keep it on private ground or coordinate the permit with the City 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. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Alexandria and the surrounding Alexandria metro 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 Alexandria, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Plan on the City's timeline, which is long. The City of Alexandria asks organizers to submit a special event permit application at least six months before an event in a park, and events from Old Town Art Festival weekends to Cinema Del Ray nights keep popular dates busy from spring into fall. Book restrooms early enough to show them on your application: tell us the date, the hours, the expected headcount, and whether food or drinks are served, and we size units and hand-wash stations to match. If the event uses a street, sidewalk, or alley, that use falls under the City's Transportation and Environmental Services right-of-way permit as well, and we coordinate the restroom placement with you so it keeps sidewalks and curb ramps clear.
