Farms and ag operations near Medford need portable toilets for hand-labor crews, one facility per 20 workers under OSHA 1928.110, placed within a quarter mile walk of the work. Medford Porta Pros services orchards, nurseries, hay operations and seasonal harvest crews with standard units, handwashing stations and holding tanks sized for the crew count.
Field sanitation rules are specific, and they exist because crews spread out fast across acreage. OSHA 1928.110 sets the baseline for agricultural hand-labor operations: one toilet facility for every 20 employees, and it has to sit within a quarter mile walk of wherever people are actually working, not parked at the barn. That means a 40-person harvest crew spread across two fields usually needs units at each field, not one bank at the entrance. Medford Porta Pros builds the layout around your crew size and field map rather than a flat guess. A standard porta potty rental with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank covers a typical crew for a week between services under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline interval, which assumes up to 10 users over a 40 hour week per unit. Bigger crews or longer growing seasons need more units or faster turnaround, and we scale the monthly porta potty rental plan up or down as harvest labor ramps. Potable water matters too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, so a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental usually rides along with the toilets, not as an afterthought. If you are not sure how many units your acreage needs, our porta potty placement guide and how many porta potties do I need page both walk through the math before you call.
Pricing depends on unit count, rental length and how far the delivery truck has to travel down farm roads. A standard unit runs in the range shown below, and delivery adds a flat fee tied to distance and site access.
| unit | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard | day | $150 |
| standard | week | $200 |
| standard | month | $200 |
| delivery_fee | week | $100 |
| delivery_fee | month | $172 |
Most farm accounts land on a weekly or monthly plan since harvest labor runs longer than a weekend job. See porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day for the full breakdown by duration. If your operation also runs a farm stand or processes produce on site, a grease trap pumping schedule may apply once fats, oils and solids reach 25 percent of liquid depth in an interceptor. Farms with a septic system for the farmhouse or a bunkhouse should check how often to pump a septic tank, since a typical residential tank goes 3 to 5 years between pumpings depending on tank size and household count. We also handle septic pumping service for larger holding tanks feeding barns or wash stations, and holding tank rental where no septic system exists at all. Roads matter here: a delivery from our Medford base covers a wide radius, and crews as far out as Woburn, 6.0 miles northwest, or Winchester, 3.7 miles northwest, fall inside our normal service run without a special trip charge beyond the standard delivery fee.
Yes, but access matters more on farmland than in a parking lot. Our trucks need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point for a roll-off dumpster rental or a unit swap, and a rutted farm track or a gate too narrow for the truck changes the plan. Tell us the route before delivery day, not after the truck is stuck in a field. A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands 92 inches tall, small enough for tight rows but still needing a level spot to sit without tipping. For crews with workers who need accessible facilities, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit where units are clustered, and our ADA accessible porta potty option meets the 36 inch clear route width called out in ADA Standards 403.5.1. Farms running seasonal festivals, pumpkin patches or agritourism events on top of daily field work should look at our festival restroom rental and county fair restrooms pages, since visitor traffic needs a different count than a labor crew. Winter operations calving or harvesting late in the season should check porta potty in winter before locking in a plan, since cold weather changes service intervals. Medford properties with mixed farm and construction work, like a new barn build, may also need our construction site services lineup alongside the ag units.
There is no fixed cleaning interval in 1928.110 itself, but the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline assumes weekly service for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier crews need more frequent pumping. We set your schedule around actual headcount.
Permit rules for placement, including anything in a public right of way, need confirming directly with the city. We do not guess at ordinance numbers. Check our porta potty permit requirements page before delivery.
Not under 1928.110. The rule requires a facility within a quarter mile walk of the work area, so separated fields usually need separate units. We map your acreage first.
Daily rentals exist for short jobs, but most farms run weekly or monthly given how long a growing season lasts. See porta potty rental per day for daily terms and pricing.
Yes. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) covers potable water generally, and if your crew handles pesticides or herbicides, 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific contaminant exposure. Ask about a combined unit.
Yes. Medford Porta Pros delivers farm and agricultural restrooms across Medford and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
