A handwash station is not a portable toilet, it is a standalone sink used alongside restrooms or wherever crews and guests need to wash hands. On a Tremont kitchen-remodel or an Ohio City tuckpointing job, one 2-station unit next to a single restroom covers a crew of roughly 8, 10 workers under standard OSHA hand-washing expectations. Larger sites, like a townhome build in Detroit-Shoreway or a road crew along a Slavic Village stretch, are usually paired one handwash station per two to three restroom units.
Station count follows headcount and event length. A 2-station sink holds about 22, 30 gallons of fresh water and serves roughly 100, 150 hand-washes before a refill; a 4-station sink doubles that throughput and suits a festival crowd near Edgewater Park or a food-vendor row at the West Side Market. For a backyard graduation party in Old Brooklyn or Kamm's Corners, a single 2-station unit beside one restroom is typically enough for 50, 75 guests over an afternoon. If food is served, a Collinwood block party, a University Circle outdoor event, plan one wash position per 40, 50 guests so lines stay short at the sink.
Foot-pump faucets are the standard because they run without electricity or a water hookup, which matters on a raw lot in Glenville or a Cuyahoga River flats site with no plumbing yet. Where a unit sits on soft ground or a slope, a plywood pad keeps it level so the gray-water tank drains correctly. Placement within about 25 feet of the restroom keeps the wash station in the same service route and speeds both refills and pickup.
How it works: first, confirm the delivery address, station count, and rental length; second, our team schedules a delivery window and places the unit on firm, level ground; third, the fresh-water tank is filled and soap and towels are stocked; fourth, on rentals past one week, refills and gray-water pump-outs are scheduled; fifth, we pick up on the confirmed date. On multi-week Buckeye-Shaker jobs, servicing intervals are set to headcount so tanks never run dry mid-shift.
One detail that changes the total: the quoted station rate excludes delivery, and remote or hard-access sites, a rear alley in Slavic Village, a gated University Circle courtyard, may add a placement charge. The exact figure is confirmed on-site or from a photo before the unit ships, so the number on the invoice matches the number quoted.
