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 Bellingham jobsite, the Lake Whatcom work window packs a year of watershed site work into four summer months, so crews run larger and longer than usual, and we size above the OSHA minimum for that peak. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Bellingham 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. Bellingham's mild summers rarely call for extra heat visits, but the Lake Whatcom work window packs watershed crews into June through September, so we add visits for large or long-running crews. From late October into April we protect units on freezing nights, and through the wet season we check that units on soft ground stay level. 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 Bellingham event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Bellingham run $449 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 in Bellingham, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, or a commercial lot with truck access, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet on its own. Anything in a public street or sidewalk is a right-of-way matter. City of Bellingham Public Works issues temporary right-of-way use permits for construction-related uses such as dumpsters, lifts, and street or sidewalk closures, with a traffic control plan, a site plan of every item placed in the right-of-way, no-parking signs posted 24 hours ahead, and cones or barricades around items in the street. Bellingham publishes no separate portable-toilet permit, so tell us the exact address and use, and we confirm what it needs and coordinate it before delivery.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $345/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 $449/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 Bellingham, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Before June 1. In the Lake Whatcom watershed, both the City of Bellingham and Whatcom County only allow ground-disturbing work, such as clearing, grading, filling, and exposing soil, from June 1 to September 30, and exposed soil has to be covered by October 1. Most site work around the lake lands in those four months, so book early and tell us your start date, crew size, and whether the property is inside city limits or in the county. We set units on stable, level ground away from ditches and the shoreline, since the lake is the drinking water source for more than 100,000 people, and service them on schedule through the last day of cover work.
