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 Tacoma jobsite, soft, wet ground and hillside lots are the bigger risk than heat, so we recommend sizing to real usage above the OSHA minimum, setting units on firm, level footing, anchoring them on exposed waterfront and slope sites, and adding a hand-wash station. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Tacoma 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. Tacoma's mild temperatures mean heat is rarely the driver, but weekly service is still the floor on a busy jobsite, and we add a mid-week visit on high-traffic and food-service sites. Through the long wet season we also check footing and anchoring on each visit, since soft ground can let a unit settle. For port and terminal sites we schedule visits inside the gate's access windows, and for Tacoma Dome and Point Defiance events we service between event days. 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 Tacoma event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Tacoma 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 with clear truck access, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, or a private lot, you generally do not need a City of Tacoma permit for a portable toilet. The moment any part of the unit sits in a street, alley, sidewalk, or other public place, Tacoma Municipal Code 10.22.050 requires a written permit from the Director of Public Works before anything that obstructs or interferes with free use of the right-of-way is placed there; the City's permitting office handles smaller right-of-way work through right-of-way construction permits, typically with a site plan and a traffic control plan. Downtown and in the Stadium District and Hilltop, a unit also has to stay clear of the T Line tracks, platforms, and stops. Port of Tacoma terminal sites follow the terminal's own gate and access rules. Tell us the exact address 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 $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. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Tacoma and the surrounding Pierce 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 Tacoma, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

It changes the planning, not the price. The U.S. Geological Survey ranks the Puyallup River valley, which empties into Commencement Bay at the Port of Tacoma, as the valley most at risk from a large Mount Rainier lahar, and Pierce County runs a lahar warning system with signed evacuation routes. For jobs in the Tideflats and along the Puyallup valley we keep units clear of the roads and driveways crews would use to leave, never block a signed evacuation route, and set units on firm, level ground away from low, flood-prone spots, which also matters through Tacoma's long wet season. Tell us the address and we flag anything about the site that affects where the unit should sit.
