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 Madison jobsite, we recommend sizing to the real crew count including subcontractors, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and winterizing from late fall through a winter with about 147 freezing nights and roughly 16 below zero. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Madison 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. Weekly suits most Madison jobsites, and we add visits for a large crew or a busy event. Downtown, we schedule service around the Saturday farmers' market on the Capitol Square from April to November. In winter we winterize the tank and plan routes around snow and subzero stretches, and near the lakes in a wet summer we keep units on high ground so service never happens in standing water. 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 Madison event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Madison run $374 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 Madison, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, a backyard, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet. The moment any part of the unit sits on or over a street, sidewalk, alley, public grounds, or the terrace, the strip between the sidewalk and the back of the curb, the City of Madison requires a Street Occupancy Permit from Traffic Engineering, the same permit used for dumpsters in the right-of-way. The city asks for the application at least one week ahead with a site plan measured from the back of the curb, and a permit is valid for up to 90 days. Portable toilets are not named separately, so we confirm a curbside unit with Traffic Engineering. The unit can never block a sidewalk, curb ramp, hydrant, driveway, or storm inlet. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or in the right-of-way, and we coordinate it.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $270/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 $374/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 Madison and the surrounding Dane 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 Madison, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

It can, on low ground near Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, the Yahara River, or the isthmus. In August 2018, 11 to 15 inches of rain fell across western Dane County, the lakes rose, Lake Monona reached its highest level on record, and sandbags went up across the isthmus. If your site is near the shoreline or sits low, tell us when you book. We place the unit on the high side of the lot, away from storm inlets and drainage paths, and if heavy rain and rising lake levels are forecast we move it early rather than service it in standing water.
