Farm crews need a toilet within a quarter mile of where they work, not back at the barn. Federal field sanitation rules set that distance for hand-labor operations, and West Gulfport Porta Pros delivers standard units starting around $100 a day, whether you're running one crew or several fields at once.
Start with headcount and walking distance, not acreage. OSHA's field sanitation rule, 1928.110, calls for one toilet facility per 20 hand-labor employees, and that facility has to sit within a quarter mile walk of the work area. That is a different standard than a construction site, where OSHA 1926.51(c) sets ratios by crew size instead of distance. On a spread-out farm outside West Gulfport, that quarter-mile rule usually means more than one unit, spaced across fields rather than clustered at the gate. Potable water has to be available too, per OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), so we often pair units with a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental at each cluster point. A standard porta potty rental covers most row-crop and pasture work. Larger operations with packing sheds or seasonal harvest crews sometimes add a deluxe flushable porta potty near the crew trailer, and if you've got a mixed crew including someone who needs an accessible unit, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, never fewer than one. Not sure how many stops you need across multiple fields? Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math, or just call and describe your acreage and crew size.
Set them on stable, level ground near the field access road, close enough for our truck to service without crossing planted rows. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces, which matters more on a farm than almost anywhere else we deliver, since gravel pads and mowed grass shoulders are usually the best option available. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground prep in more detail. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and the same clearance rule applies when we're delivering restroom units to a far pasture gate. If you're running a packing operation with a grease interceptor in the wash line, note that it needs pumping once fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of liquid depth, a separate service from restroom rental that our grease trap pumping crew handles. Standard units run 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stand about 92 inches tall, small enough to tuck against a fence line or equipment shed without blocking tractor turns. For harvest season, when a crew might work a field for six weeks straight, a monthly porta potty rental usually beats renting week to week. West Gulfport farms nearest Lyman, about 9.2 miles northwest, sometimes split one delivery run between two fields to save on the delivery fee.
Pricing depends on unit type and how long you need it. A standard unit runs in the range below by duration, and monthly rates make sense for planting-through-harvest jobs that run for weeks at a stretch.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ADA-accessible | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | -- |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | -- |
A separate delivery fee applies per trip, and service visits follow the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, more often if your crew runs bigger or the season runs hot. Full breakdown on our porta potty rental cost page, and if you're comparing day rates against a longer commitment, the porta potty rental per day page has the numbers side by side. We also serve growers near Long Beach, 10.6 miles southwest of West Gulfport, and can route a single delivery truck to cover both locations if your operation spans that stretch.
Yes, if hand labor is involved. OSHA 1928.110 requires potable water and handwashing facilities alongside the toilet, not just the toilet alone. A handwashing station rental placed next to each restroom cluster satisfies that. Hand sanitizer alone does not meet the washing facility requirement under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2).
Only if both fields fall within the quarter-mile walking distance the field sanitation rule sets. If your fields are farther apart than that, you need a second unit rather than asking crews to walk further. We can quote multi-field delivery in one visit.
A standard portable toilet carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, enough for a work crew across a standard service interval. Heavier use during harvest may call for a shorter cleaning cycle, which we can schedule in advance.
Yes, but we need about 60 feet of straight, stable clearance behind the truck for placement. Gravel and packed dirt work fine. Call ahead if access is tight so we can plan the route.
Weekly is the baseline under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standard for up to 10 users, but harvest crews often run heavier and need twice-weekly service. Tell us your crew size and we'll set the interval before delivery, then adjust once the season's underway.
Yes. West Gulfport Porta Pros delivers farm and agricultural restrooms across West Gulfport and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
