Construction sites in New York follow OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51: at least one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, and one toilet plus one urinal per 40 workers above that. In practice most contractors run one unit per 10 workers on a 40-hour week with weekly cleaning, so crews never wait.
OSHA job-site toilet minimums
| Workers on site | OSHA minimum (1926.51) | Practical recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10 | 1 toilet | 1 unit, weekly service |
| 11–20 | 1 toilet | 2 units |
| 21–40 | 1 toilet + 1 urinal per 40 | 3–4 units + handwashing |
| 41–80 | 1 toilet + 1 urinal per 40 | 5–8 units + 2 handwashing |
| 200+ | 1 toilet + 1 urinal per 50 | Call for a site plan |

Winter job sites
Central New York winters are long. Place units where plowing keeps a clear path to the door and the pump-out side, and ask about winterizing so the tank does not freeze. On Tug Hill and in lake-effect belts north of Rome and around Oswego, plan access before the first storm.
Homebuilders and remodelers
For a single-home build or a roof, siding or driveway job, one standard unit at the curb or driveway edge is usually all you need. Tell us the lot and start date and it will be there when the crew arrives.
Delivered across Central New York
Same-day delivery in Oneida and close-by towns, with regular routes to Canastota, Chittenango, Cazenovia, Hamilton, Morrisville, Verona, Sherrill, Vernon and every town within about 80 miles. See all service areas.
Questions about this rental
How often are construction porta potties cleaned?
Standard job-site rentals include weekly service: pump-out, cleaning, deodorizer and restocking. Large crews or heavy use can be serviced twice a week.
Is a monthly rental a calendar month or 28 days?
Job-site rentals are billed in 28-day cycles, which is four weeks rather than a calendar month. Your quote shows the start date, renewal dates and how to end the rental.
Can you move the unit as the project moves?
Repositioning can be scheduled during a service visit. Please do not drag or tip a used unit yourself; call and we will move it safely.
Do you set up accounts for contractors with several sites?
Multi-site and repeat contractors can get one point of contact and a combined quote by site. Call (315) 659-7148 to set it up.
