How many units do you need?
Start with your headcount, not a guess. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, dropping to one per 50 once you hit 200 or more. Farm crews fall under a different rule. OSHA 1928.110 calls for one facility per 20 hand-labor employees, reachable within a quarter mile walk, which matters if your crew is spread across a field outside Cheyenne. Events run on a different math entirely, driven by headcount and hours, not job classification. If you're not sure which bucket you fall into, this breakdown walks through both, and OSHA's construction toilet rules covers the full ratio table. Whatever number you land on, check it against your standard porta potty rental options before you commit, since unit type changes the math on servicing intervals too.
What type of unit fits the job?
A standard unit works for most construction sites and short events: about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. That's the workhorse. For weddings, office staff or anyone who wants a flush handle and a sink, step up to a deluxe flushable porta potty. If your guest list or crew includes anyone using a wheelchair, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, with a minimum of one no matter how small the cluster. An ADA accessible porta potty has to meet real dimensions too: a 60 inch turning circle under section 304.3.1, a 32 inch clear door opening under section 404.2.3, and a route at least 36 inches wide per section 403.5.1. For weekend jobs or long-term sites, compare day, week and month pricing before you decide, since a restroom trailer may pencil out better than several standard units once you're past a few weeks.
Where should the unit go?
Placement decides how smooth service day goes. Cheyenne Porta Pros needs firm, level ground and a path a service truck can actually reach; ADA Standards section 302.1 also requires the ground surface itself to be stable, firm and slip resistant if the unit needs to be accessible. Keep the unit close to the work zone but clear of foot traffic pinch points, and away from anything that blocks a fire lane. If you're planning a dumpster on the same site, remember a roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so map both deliveries together rather than as afterthoughts. Our placement guide covers ground conditions in more depth, and if you're running a job in Cheyenne proper versus one of the outlying areas, note that Fox Farm-College sits 2.0 miles south, South Greeley 3.6 miles south, and Warren AFB 5.0 miles west, all inside normal delivery range. Ranchettes runs 9.2 miles north and Hillsdale 21.9 miles east, both still served but worth flagging when you book so delivery timing lines up.
Do you need a permit before you place a unit?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Cheyenne before delivery. Permit rules vary by lot, by zoning and by whether the unit sits on private property or spills onto a sidewalk or street easement, and we're not going to guess at a code number here. Check with the city directly, and see our permit requirements page for what to ask when you call. This matters more than people expect: a unit placed without checking can get flagged and moved mid-job, which costs you a service visit and a headache. If your project also involves a temporary fence rental or a storage container, ask the same question for those, since right-of-way rules often bundle together. Booking through Cheyenne Porta Pros means we'll flag anything that looks like a right-of-way placement so you're not finding out from the city instead of from us.

Delivery runs $100 to $500 for a single day and $120 to $420 for a month-long placement, separate from the unit rate. Check porta potty rental cost or monthly porta potty rental for the fuller picture, and per day pricing if you're only booking a short job.
How often does a unit get serviced?
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busy sites or events need more frequent visits. See how often porta potties are cleaned for what a service visit actually includes.
Do porta potties need handwashing stations nearby?
29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device wherever washing facilities are provided; hand sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy it. If your crew is applying paints, coatings or pesticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) also kicks in. See handwashing station rental.
Can I rent just one unit for a weekend party?
Yes. A single standard unit runs in the weekend range for exactly this use case, no minimum crew size required. Pair it with a deluxe flushable porta potty if guests expect a sink and flush handle.
What size crew needs more than one toilet?
Once you pass 20 workers, OSHA 1926.51(c) requires a second seat and a urinal, scaling further at 40 and 200 workers. Use our how many porta potties do I need tool to run your exact headcount.
Is winter rental different in Cheyenne?
Cold weather changes servicing needs and tank additives, though not the unit itself. See porta potty in winter for what changes when Cheyenne temperatures drop and how it affects your rental.
