How many porta potties do I need for my event or job site?
The math depends on headcount and duration. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: for 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 toilet facility. From 20 to 200 workers, the rule calls for 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. At 200 or more, that ratio tightens to 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. An outdoor festival or wedding in Wheat Ridge might run 8 to 12 hours; a construction crew works 40 hours a week. One unit handles low-traffic events, but a wedding with 150 guests needs at least 4. For help sizing your order, check our guide on how many porta potties you need. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing about 92 inches tall.
What's the delivery cost to Wheat Ridge?
Wheat Ridge is 5.8 miles north of Lakewood, so delivery fees sit at the lower end of our range. Weekly delivery costs $50 to $150; day rentals run $100 to $500 per delivery. Monthly service is $120 to $420. A standard unit rents for $130 to $500 weekly. Our crew will place the unit where you need it and handle all servicing during the rental. You'll want to confirm placement rules with the city; public right-of-way placement in Wheat Ridge needs municipal approval. Call us for a quote on your specific address and rental length. See our full porta potty rental cost page for more detail.
Where should I place a porta potty on my Wheat Ridge property?
A level spot near your work area or event venue is best. The ground must be stable and firm; soft dirt or gravel can sink under weight over a week or two. Standard units sit about 92 inches tall, so check for tree branches and power lines. Roll-off delivery needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so if you're on a tight lot, mention it when you call. Many Wheat Ridge venues sit on slopes; we can position units on driveways or parking areas if the ground is solid. For events, put units near main gathering spaces but away from food and activity zones. ADA Standards section 302.1 requires that floor and ground surfaces be stable, firm and slip resistant. If you need an accessible unit for any guests or workers, a standard unit measuring 44 by 48 inches won't fit a wheelchair; ADA accessible portable toilets are wider and meet turning radius standards. Let us know your site layout, and we'll advise the best placement. Placement in public right-of-way needs confirming with the city.
Do you serve other towns near Wheat Ridge?
Yes. Cornerstone Porta Potty covers the entire Lakewood metro. We're based in Lakewood and serve service areas from Golden, 9.2 miles northwest of Lakewood, all the way to Littleton, 13.6 miles southeast. East Pleasant View sits 5.8 miles northwest of Lakewood and West Pleasant View is 6.6 miles northwest; both are close neighbors to Wheat Ridge. Englewood, 10.6 miles southeast of Lakewood, is also on our route. Arvada, 11.8 miles north of Lakewood, gets regular service. We also rent roll-off dumpsters, septic pumping, restroom trailers, storage containers, temporary fencing, and handwashing stations. If your town isn't listed, call and ask; we may still reach you.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes. Daily rates run $100 to $350 for a standard unit, plus delivery. Day rentals work for small events, emergency cover, or one-day jobs. Weekend rates are higher; call for a weekend quote. We also rent deluxe flushable units if you want flush toilets and running water onsite.
What's included in weekly service?
One service visit per week is standard under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. We pump the tank, restock toilet paper and hand sanitiser, and haul away waste. For higher-traffic sites, we can add extra pumps. Ask about our cleaning schedule when you book.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Wheat Ridge?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Private property rentals usually don't need permits, but check local rules if you're unsure. We can advise on common placements.
What if I need washing facilities too?
Handwashing is required on construction sites where workers touch paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). We rent portable sinks and handwashing stations that include soap and paper towel dispensers; 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitiser alone doesn't meet code.
How often does the tank get pumped?
Weekly service includes one pump visit. If you rent longer than a week, we schedule pickups based on your needs and site traffic. High-traffic events may need mid-week service; residential jobs rarely do. Ask when you call.
