Frequently Asked Questions in Gresham, OR

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200; and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A construction crew of 15 in Gresham needs a single standard porta potty. A crew of 45 needs two. The math is straightforward, but placement matters too. Gresham job sites run tight on space. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, and you'll want it within 500 feet of the work area. Read our guide to calculating how many porta potties you need for the full breakdown, including ADA accessible units if your site has them.

A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and runs about 92 inches tall. It's the workhorse on job sites. Deluxe flushable porta potties have flushing mechanisms and hand sanitizer dispensers built in, which cuts odor and feels less rough on crews. ADA accessible toilets meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, never fewer than one. An accessible unit has a 36 inch clear width door per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, a 60 inch diameter turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and grab bars positioned to code. Gresham sites with mixed crews should plan for at least one accessible unit. Check our pricing guide to compare daily, weekly and monthly rates.

Public right of way placement in Gresham needs confirming with the city. Call ahead if your unit sits on the street or on land you don't own. Temporary placement on private property where you have permission is usually straightforward. Gresham Porta Pros handles delivery and placement. We'll advise you on where to put the unit so it doesn't block access or create hazards. If your site uses roll-off dumpsters, placement rules are similar: confirm with the city for public areas. Most Gresham contractors place both portable toilets and dumpsters on their own job site property without issue.

Construction sites with workers applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides need dedicated washing facilities under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). A portable handwashing station with soap dispenser and towel or hand drying device satisfies 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). For weddings, festivals and large gatherings in Gresham, restroom trailers are the upgrade: they're climate controlled, have multiple stalls, and feel like real bathrooms. A 2 stall trailer works for events up to 100 guests; 4 stalls handles 150 to 300. Both portable toilets and trailers come with weekly service included.
