What Size Portable Toilet Do You Need?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, measuring roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. For one or two workers on a residential renovation, that's enough. But job size matters. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site; beyond that, you need one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200 employees.
Count your crew, then double-check the math. If you're on a commercial build, bring in more capacity than you think you'll use. Portable toilets get fouled faster than expected when workers cluster around them. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need in Arlington Heights, IL walks through the formula. Deluxe units with flushes cost more but reduce odor complaints and work better on high-traffic job sites.

The 5.6-mile drive northeast from Arlington Heights to Wheeling adds to your rental cost.
