How big is a portable hand wash station?
A portable hand wash station is about 30 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 58 inches tall. A 30-inch-wide station fits through a gate 36 inches wide or more. It needs a level spot about 3 feet by 2 feet, right beside the toilets or the food line.

Does my job site or food booth need a hand washing station?
OSHA rule 29 CFR 1926.51(f) requires washing facilities on construction sites where crews apply paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or work with other harmful contaminants. Food vendors should check with the Hamilton County Health Department. At events, we plan 1 hand wash station for every 5 toilets.
Even when no rule applies, a station helps. Kids' parties, cookouts and petting zoos all go better with soap and water close by.
Selling food? The Hamilton County Health Department sets the hand washing rules for food booths and trucks. Call them before the event and confirm what your booth needs. Georgia sites follow their own county health office.

When is a hand washing station the wrong choice?
A hand washing station is the wrong choice when you need a toilet, a dish sink, or more than about 500 hand washes between visits. The station holds about 34 gallons of fresh water and is built for quick hand washing only. Pick a different setup for those jobs.
- You need a toilet. Pair the station with a standard porta potty.
- Guests want a sink inside the restroom. A deluxe flushing unit has one built in.
- You need to wash dishes. Ask the health department what dish setup your booth needs. Our station is for hands.
- A very busy event. Past about 500 washes, add a second station or a mid-event service.
Should you rent a hand wash station or a deluxe unit with a sink?
A hand wash station serves 2 people at once and holds about 34 gallons of fresh water, while a deluxe unit has 1 sink shared with the toilet. For a food line or a crew of 10 or more, the separate station keeps hands moving. For a small party, the deluxe unit takes less space.
| Feature | Hand washing station | Deluxe flushing unit |
|---|---|---|
| Basins | 2 | 1 |
| Toilet | None | Foot-pump flush |
| Fresh water | About 34 gallons, about 500 washes | About 20 gallons, shared with the flush |
| People washing at once | 2 | 1 |
| Space needed | About 3 x 2 ft | About 4 x 4 ft |
| Best for | Food service, crews, kids' events | Small parties, church events |
How often does a portable sink rental need service?
A portable sink rental needs service after about 500 hand washes, when its 34 gallons of fresh water run out. Long-term stations get 1 visit a week: fresh water, soap and paper towels refilled, and used water pumped out. Events longer than 2 days can add a mid-event visit.
Crews that wash up several times a day use water faster. If a station runs dry before the weekly visit, call, and we can add a service visit. See the construction porta potty page for crew setups.
Where should a hand wash station go?
A hand wash station works best right beside the porta potties or at the front of a food line, on a level spot about 3 feet by 2 feet. Set it where the line will not block a walkway. On red clay, we put it on gravel, plywood or pavement so it stays level.
- Face the basins toward the open side so 2 people can stand at once.
- Keep it out of the path of carts, mowers and trucks.
- For events, plan 1 station for every 5 toilets, and at least 1 when food is served.
What does a hand washing station look like at a real setup?
A hand washing station stands about 58 inches tall, close to chest height for most adults, with the towel dispenser above the basins. The 2 photos below show stations set up between a row of event units and beside a porta potty on a front lawn.
Hand washing station questions
Can I rent only a sink without a porta potty?
A hand washing station rents on its own, with no porta potty needed. A weekend event rental runs $95 to $150, and a 28-day rental runs $95 to $140 with service. Delivery is included in our core area. See the porta potty cost guide.
Can a hand wash station handle washing dishes for a food booth?
Our station is built for hands, not dishes. Food booths often need a separate setup for washing pots and utensils. Ask the Hamilton County Health Department what your booth needs before you book.
How much does a hand washing station rental cost?
A hand washing station runs $95 to $150 for a weekend event and $95 to $140 per 28-day cycle with service. Sales tax is added. The porta potty cost guide has the details.
How many hand wash stations does a festival need?
Plan 1 hand wash station for every 5 toilets, with at least 1 at any event that serves food. Food vendors may need their own, so check with the health department. The sizing guide shows toilet counts by guest number.
What if the station runs out of water during the event?
One fill lasts about 500 hand washes. For an event longer than 2 days, book a mid-event service so the tank gets refilled. If a station runs dry sooner, call during business hours and we will work out a visit.
