How many standard porta potties do I need?
One standard porta potty serves about 10 workers on a 40-hour week with weekly service, or about 50 guests for a 4-hour event. OSHA requires 1 toilet for 20 or fewer construction workers, but our recommendation is 1 unit per 10 workers so the unit stays usable all week.
| Situation | Legal minimum | Our recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Construction crew of 1–20 | 1 toilet (OSHA 1926.51(c)) | 1 unit per 10 workers, serviced weekly |
| Construction crew of 21–40 | 1 seat + 1 urinal per 40 workers | 3–4 units, serviced weekly |
| Backyard party, 50 guests, 4 hours | None set by law | 1 standard unit |
| Party, 100 guests, 5 hours, alcohol | None set by law | 3 standard units + 1 handwashing station |

Where can a standard porta potty go?
A standard porta potty needs a level spot about 4 feet by 4 feet with the truck able to park within about 150 feet. Gravel, caliche, grass and pavement all work. The crew avoids slopes, low spots that hold monsoon runoff, and spots under power lines or tree limbs that block the service hose.
- Keep the door clear of traffic lanes and gates
- Face the door away from afternoon sun in summer
- Stake or strap units on open, windy lots
- Leave a clear lane for the service truck each week
Standard Porta Potty: questions before you book
Does the standard porta potty have a sink?
The standard porta potty has a hand sanitizer dispenser but no sink. A standard unit with a foot-pump sink inside costs a little more, or you can add a separate handwashing station for food events and crews.
Does it come with toilet paper?
Every standard unit arrives with two rolls of toilet paper and a full sanitizer dispenser. Weekly service visits restock both. Events longer than one day can add an extra restock visit.
Can I lock the porta potty at night?
Standard units have an inside latch with an occupied sign. Jobsite units can be fitted with a padlock hasp so you can lock them after hours. Tell us when you book.
How much is a standard porta potty in Carlsbad?
A standard porta potty for a weekend event in Carlsbad city limits starts at $175 plus tax with delivery and pickup. A 28-day jobsite rental starts at $165 per cycle with weekly service, plus a one-time $75 delivery and pickup charge.
Will it smell?
A serviced standard unit has very little odor because the vent stack pulls air up and the deodorizer breaks down waste. Odor rises when a unit is overused or skips service, so size by head count and keep weekly service.
Can it go on my lawn?
A standard porta potty sits fine on a lawn. The base is about 4 by 4 feet, and the unit leaves a pale square if it stays more than a couple of weeks. Point out sprinkler heads so the crew avoids them.
