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 Portsmouth jobsite tied to shipyard or Navy-corridor work, crews often arrive in shifts, so we size for the busiest shift rather than the average, add a hand-wash station at the break area, and keep units on high, firm ground away from the flood-prone roads the City is studying. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard 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 humid Portsmouth summer that weekly interval is the floor: multi-shift jobsites and events get a mid-week visit rather than a stretched schedule. We also time service around the roads, checking the City's river flood forecast before a visit so a truck is not stuck behind a flooded stretch of a main corridor. 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 Portsmouth event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Portsmouth 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 private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a side yard, a fenced jobsite, or a private lot, you generally do not need a permit for a portable toilet in Portsmouth. The street and sidewalk are different: work in the City right-of-way goes through a Right of Way Permit filed with the City Engineer and the Department of Engineering and Technical Services, with a bond, a traffic control plan, arterial-street work limited to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and at least 72 hours' notice for lane or street closures. There is no permit written specifically for portable toilets, so if your unit has to sit curbside we confirm with Engineering and Technical Services what applies and coordinate it before delivery. Events on City property need a Parks and Recreation special event permit filed 30 to 90 days ahead depending on size. A unit can never block a sidewalk, curb ramp, hydrant, or driveway.

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

For most events on City property, yes. The City of Portsmouth's special event permit application, handled by Parks and Recreation, says event organizers are financially responsible for securing restrooms, and it notes that the Portside event area no longer has on-site restrooms. Applications are due 30 days before setup for events under 500 people, 60 days for 501 to 999, 90 days for 1,000 or more, and 60 days for any run or bike race. List your restroom plan on the application, send us the site layout, and we deliver the right count, with hand-wash stations near food and accessible units on a level path.
