Portable Handwashing Station Rentals
Most people worry about the toilet. The hygiene that actually matters happens at the sink.
A porta potty keeps the basics covered. A handwashing station is what turns it into a proper restroom setup. We rent standalone portable handwashing stations across the Portland metro for construction sites, events, farms, food service, and anywhere else people need to wash up without a permanent sink nearby.

Where Handwashing Stations Are Required
Construction sites
OSHA’s sanitation standard, 29 CFR 1926.51, covers washing facilities alongside toilets, and Oregon OSHA enforces its own equivalent. If your crew handles anything that needs washing off before eating, drinking or smoking, washing facilities aren’t optional. On most job sites that means a station alongside the restroom bank, not instead of it.
Food service and catering
Food trucks, outdoor kitchens, concessions. Oregon’s temporary food service rules require handwashing facilities for the food handlers themselves, separate from whatever guests use. County health departments inspect for this, and it is a common reason an event gets a correction notice on the day — Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and Clark counties each publish their own requirements.
Farms and agricultural operations
Federal produce safety rules require handwashing alongside restrooms for field crews. We service dozens of Willamette Valley farms and vineyards through harvest, and stations go out with the restrooms as a matter of course.
Events with children or family-focused attendance.
Youth sports and family events use sinks far more than adult events of the same size.
Large festivals, and anywhere hygiene is visible to guests.
No rule, but people notice.
How Many You Need
A standard two-person station provides roughly 600–700 handwashes between service visits. Four-person stations handle closer to 1,000. As a starting point, plan on one station per 100–200 people — or keep the count and add service visits instead.
Adjust upward when:
Food is served. Eating with hands, food trucks, anything plated.
It’s a long event. Six hours and up means repeat visits.
The work is dirty. Concrete, demolition, landscaping, agriculture.
Children are present. Family events run through sinks quickly.
There’s alcohol. More restroom visits means more sink visits.
Adjust downward when the restroom units themselves have sinks built in. Our deluxe units and luxury restroom trailers both do, which changes the maths for smaller events. If you are ordering a mix, roughly one station per two to four restroom units is a useful cross-check.
Rent With a Porta Potty or On Their Own
Most customers pair a handwashing station with one or more of our porta potties, but plenty rent them standalone — for example, at an outdoor food event where permanent restrooms are available but an extra sink is needed near the food line.
Because the stations are self-contained, they can go wherever a truck can reach. That means placing one at the food area as well as at the restrooms, which is usually where a sink is most useful and least often put.
Service and Rental Terms
We service handwashing stations on the same regular schedule as our porta potties — refilling water, restocking soap and paper towels, and cleaning. Rental terms match our restroom units: event rentals per weekend, long-term rentals on 28-day cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can one handwashing station serve?
A standard two-person handwashing station can provide roughly 600–700 handwashes between service visits. Four-person stations handle closer to 1,000. For busy events or long-running sites, plan on one station per 100–200 people or schedule additional service visits.
Are handwashing stations required on construction sites in Oregon?
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 covers washing facilities alongside toilet facilities, and Oregon OSHA enforces its own equivalent. In practice, if your crew needs to wash before eating, drinking or smoking, you need washing facilities on site. We will work the requirement through with you against crew size and shift pattern.
Do I need a handwashing station if I'm serving food at an event?
Almost certainly. Oregon’s temporary food service rules require handwashing facilities for food handlers, separate from guest facilities, and county health departments inspect for it. Check your county’s requirements before finalising the order.
Do I need a handwashing station with my porta potty?
For most construction sites and agricultural operations, yes — it’s required. For events, it’s often not required but is strongly recommended. Deluxe porta potties and luxury restroom trailers already include sinks, so you may not need a standalone station in that case.
Do handwashing stations need to be connected to water?
No. Our portable handwashing stations are self-contained with a fresh water reservoir — no plumbing hookup needed, and no power. We refill them during service visits.
Can I rent just a handwashing station without a porta potty?
Yes. Standalone handwashing station rentals are common for food service areas, outdoor kitchens, and supplemental sink needs.
Do you service handwashing stations through winter?
Yes. Below sustained temperatures of 30°F we add anti-freeze brine so the stations keep working through a cold snap. Let us know at booking if your site or event runs through the winter.
