If you have an event or job coming up where portable toilets are necessary, there are some important things to know. Making sure you meet essential criteria will prevent unnecessary costs and violations. They are regulated at the state and federal level, including those set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

What Are The Requirements For Portable Toilets?

To be ADA compatible, portable toilets must be identified using the symbol of accessibility. At least one toilet unit should be included in cluster areas where no full facilities are present or accessible. The unit should have enough space—at least 60 inches—to allow turning room for a wheelchair. If manufacturers meet these requirements, they are deemed ADA Accessible.

General Events

In addition to federal ADA standards, portable toilet rentals may need to adhere to local or state laws, particularly in regards to placement and sanitation.

Construction Sites

If you plan on renting portable toilets for a construction site, regulations are not quite as strict. According to the ADA, facilities used for construction site locations and only used by its workers need not comply with the regulation.

How to Ensure You Meet ADA Requirements

Before ordering portable toilets, it’s important to hire a company that specializes in both facility placement and laws and regulations. Doing so can prevent unnecessary work stoppages and fines.
