Farm and agricultural crews need one toilet within a quarter mile walk of every work group, per OSHA 1928.110. Torrance Porta Pros sets up standard units on nurseries, community garden plots and hand-labor sites across Torrance, with delivery scheduled around planting and harvest windows so restrooms land where crews actually work.
OSHA 1928.110 sets the baseline for agricultural field sanitation: one toilet facility per 20 hand-labor employees, plus potable water, positioned so nobody has to walk more than a quarter mile to reach it. That is a different rule than the construction standard, OSHA 1926.51(c), which uses a sliding scale starting at one unit per 20 workers and adding urinals as headcount climbs past 40 and 200. A row-crop operation with three picking crews spread across a large parcel in Torrance usually needs multiple units staged near each crew rather than one unit at a central yard. We help plan that layout using our porta potty placement guide, and if your crew count changes seasonally, how many porta potties do I need walks through the math. Standard units run 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stand about 92 inches tall, small enough to fit between rows or along a fence line without blocking equipment access. For sites running hand-labor crews and light equipment side by side, pairing temporary fencing with the restroom cluster keeps foot traffic and machinery separated, which matters more on working farmland than on a flat construction pad.
Pricing depends on unit type and how long the rental runs. A standard porta potty rental is the right fit for most field crews; an ADA accessible porta potty is worth adding if you have crew members who need one, since ADA Standards section 213.2 calls for at least one accessible unit in any cluster of single-user toilets, and never fewer than one.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | - |
A delivery fee applies on top of the rental, typically $50 to $150 for a week-long placement, and rises for month-long agricultural contracts. Longer harvest seasons usually work out cheaper per day than a short rental, so check monthly porta potty rental pricing before booking week to week. Full breakdowns live on our porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day pages. If your operation also runs a small crew year-round, construction site services covers the toilets, fencing and dumpsters together.
Field sanitation rules require more than a toilet. OSHA 1928.110 also calls for potable water and handwashing access for hand-labor employees, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at any washing station, since hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that standard. If your crew handles pesticides, herbicides or treated seed, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically because of that contaminant exposure, separate from the general sanitation requirement. We pair a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental with every farm toilet order for that reason. A hand sanitizer station rental alone will not cover you if your crew works with sprays; check handwashing station requirements if you are not sure which setup applies to your operation. Farms with a packing shed or wash station generating grease and food waste should also look at grease trap pumping, since interceptors need pumping once fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. A farm running its own septic system for a farmhouse or bunkhouse should plan pumping too. A typical residential tank needs pumping every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household count, covered on how often to pump a septic tank and septic pumping service. For a fast fix when a line backs up mid-harvest, emergency septic service and emergency porta potty rental both run same-day where the schedule allows.
Torrance farm and nursery operations sit close to service coverage in Redondo Beach, 4.2 miles northwest, and Lawndale, 4.5 miles north, so delivery windows stay tight even during peak season. Roll-off dumpsters for crop waste and packaging debris are worth adding on larger parcels; see roll-off dumpster rental and what cannot go in a dumpster before loading one, since agricultural waste has its own limits.
Service intervals follow ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets one visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Farm sites with larger crews or extended hours need more frequent service. See how often are porta potties cleaned for how we schedule around harvest labor.
Only if your crew or visitors include someone who needs an accessible unit, though ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster once you do provide multiple toilets. Farm-stand and agritourism sites open to the public should plan for this from the start.
Yes, but the ground needs to be level and stable enough for service trucks to reach it. Standard units weigh little empty but need firm footing once tanks fill; talk through access with us before delivery day.
Depends on volume. A 10 yard dumpster rental handles small plots; larger operations often need a 20 yard dumpster rental. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions before ordering.
Placement on private agricultural land generally does not trigger the same review as public right-of-way placement, but this needs confirming with the City of Torrance directly. See porta potty permit requirements before finalizing your site plan.
Yes. Torrance Porta Pros delivers farm and agricultural restrooms across Torrance and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.

Standard rentals include scheduled service — a pump-out, a clean, a restock and fresh deodorizer. Busy or hot-weather sites can be serviced more often.
