How many hand wash stations do I need?
Plan 1 hand wash station for every 2–3 standard porta potties when food is served. A party with 2 standard units and a buffet needs 1 station. A festival cluster of 9 units near food needs 3 to 5. Jobsites need washing facilities under OSHA 1926.51(f) when workers handle harmful substances.
| Setup | Stations | Price from |
|---|---|---|
| Party with 1–3 standard units and food | 1 | $120 per event |
| Event with 4–6 standard units and food | 2 | $240 per event |
| Event with no food | Optional; units have hand sanitizer | $120 per event |
| Jobsite crew handling paints, coatings or chemicals | At least 1, per OSHA 1926.51(f) | $125 per 28 days |

Kids' events, petting zoos and farm days benefit from a station even without food. For full event sizing, use the porta potty calculator.
Where should a portable sink rental go at a food event?
A portable sink rental at a food event works best in two spots: right beside the toilets and near the start of the food line. Guests wash after the restroom and again before eating. Each station is only 26.5 inches wide, so it fits on a patio, a lawn or a parking-lot edge.
Set the station on level ground so the tanks sit flat. Keep it out of the walking lane but in sight of the tables. Caterers and food trucks may follow their own health department rules, so ask your venue. Plan the full setup on the party and special event page.
How is a hand wash station serviced, and what about winter?
A hand wash station is serviced on every visit: we refill the fresh water, empty the gray-water tank and restock soap and paper towels. Jobsite stations get weekly service on the 28-day plan. Stations can freeze below 32°F, so from November through March, hand sanitizer in each unit is the backup.
Busy crews can add a second weekly service visit, quoted per visit. Multi-day festivals get daily or between-day service. Read about cold-weather setups in the winter porta potty guide, and jobsite counts on the construction site toilets page.

Handwashing station questions
Do we need electricity for the handwashing station?
The handwashing station needs no electricity and no water hose. Foot pumps move water from a 22-gallon fresh-water tank to the sinks, and used water drains into a separate 24-gallon gray-water tank. It can stand in a field, a parking lot or a jobsite with no utilities.
How many hand washing stations do I need for an event with food?
Plan 1 handwashing station for every 2–3 standard porta potties when food is served. Put one by the toilets and one near the food line if they are far apart. Food vendors and caterers may have their own handwashing rules, so check with your health department or venue.
How many uses before the station needs a refill?
The manufacturer says the PolyJohn Bravo gives nearly 350 uses without refilling, from its 22-gallon fresh-water tank. Long events and busy crews can use that up. On every service visit, we refill the water, empty the gray-water tank and restock soap and paper towels.
Can a handwashing station be used in winter?
A handwashing station can freeze when temperatures drop below 32°F. From November through March, a hand sanitizer dispenser inside each porta potty is the backup when the station freezes. Tell dispatch about winter dates so we can plan the setup.
Does a standard porta potty come with a sink?
A standard porta potty comes with a hand sanitizer dispenser, not a sink. For soap and water, add a handwashing station next to the units or rent a deluxe flushing porta potty, which has a foot-pump sink inside. Both options go on one itemized quote.
Is a hand wash station required on a construction site?
OSHA rule 29 CFR 1926.51(f) requires employers to provide adequate washing facilities when workers handle paints, coatings, herbicides, insecticides or other harmful substances. A two-sided station rents on the same 28-day plan as the toilets, typically from $125 per 28 days before tax. Confirm site rules with your safety officer.
