The standard construction unit measures about 44 inches wide, 48 inches deep, and 90 inches tall, and holds a 60-gallon waste tank, enough capacity for roughly one unit per 10 workers on a 40-hour week before the weekly service falls behind. OSHA sanitation guidance (29 CFR 1926.51) is the common benchmark crews follow: one toilet for up to 20 workers, and additional units scaled up from there. On a framing crew of 15 in Portland or a slab pour off Shawnee, one standard unit covers the site; a 25-person site typically needs two.
The standard unit is the right fit when the site has level, truck-accessible ground and no requirement for a wash station. Job sites in Germantown, Butchertown, and Clifton where the trade crews just need a clean, close restroom are the typical case. If the project runs long or the crew grows past 20, a second standard unit costs less than upgrading to a deluxe flushing model. The trade-off is simple: a standard unit is the lowest cost per worker, while a hand-wash sink or a flushing unit adds comfort and cost when the job calls for it.
Placement matters for the weekly service truck. The unit needs a firm, flat spot within about 20 feet of where the pump truck can park, since the service hose reaches roughly that far. On tight infill lots in Old Louisville or the Highlands, a driveway edge or the front curb strip usually works. Units set on soft mud or behind a locked gate can delay the weekly pump-out, so a stable base, gravel, plywood, or pavement, keeps service on schedule.
Booking runs in three steps. First, call (502) 826-9129 with the site address, worker count, and how many months the unit stays. Second, confirm the delivery window and the weekly service day. Third, the unit is dropped, leveled, and stocked; the weekly route handles pump-out and restock until pickup is scheduled. Rentals are billed by the 28-day month, and the quote states the delivery, weekly service, and pickup so the final invoice matches what was quoted, the $250 minimum applies to short or single-unit orders.
