Locally sourced, nationally managed. Coverage depends on who can service your address, so the number that matters is how many local providers we already work with: 2,144.
Delivered unit records in the Detritus provider network, updated October 26, 2026.
Unit types
These are delivered unit records, not a catalogue. The provider column counts the separate local companies behind each type.
| Unit | Delivered | Share | Providers | States | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard construction | 47,189 | 2,144 | 51 | Daily crew traffic over months, not short runs | |
| Standard event | 36,175 | 1,773 | 51 | Appearance and short windows with a fixed removal date | |
| ADA accessible | 3,777 | 888 | 48 | Ground-level entry, handrails, wider turning radius; often a permit requirement | |
| With interior sink | 3,508 | 564 | 45 | Restroom and hand wash in one footprint; long-duration and tight sites | |
| Flushable | 1,114 | 307 | 41 | Flush and occupancy indicator; client-facing, high-turnover sites | |
| On trailer | 306 | 97 | 23 | Roadwork and moving work fronts; relocates without a service truck | |
| Flushable with sink | 97 | 50 | 20 | Flush and hand wash for long, client-facing placements | |
| Crane unit | 64 | 26 | 18 | Lifted into place on high-rise and structural steel work |
Provider counts overlap across types and don't add up. States counts include DC.
Placement
A standard unit is about 4 feet square and 7 feet tall. The service hose reaches roughly 15 to 20 feet, so the truck has to park within that distance of every unit.
Backyards and interior courtyards often can't be serviced. It's the most common placement problem we see, so we check access before delivery, not after.
Service and terms
Frequency is set unit by unit, so one slow provider never drags down a whole placement.
The construction default for most crews and sites.
For dense crews, hot climates or sites with few units.
Raising frequency is usually cheaper than adding units.
| Job type | Rental period | Removal |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | 28 days on a 28-day service cycle at a flat cycle price. The first cycle usually includes delivery; later cycles are rate only. | No fixed date. We remove units when you call. |
| Event | A flat window. Four days if you don't say otherwise (a Friday drop through Monday pickup). Delivery day counts as day one. | Fixed removal date. |
Ask which applies. A vendor who sets a removal date on a construction placement may pull units mid-job, or bill daily overage from day 29 without telling you.
From delivered orders
How six placements were set up, from crews of a few people to a solar build that scaled to 90 units in a month.

How many units the law requires. On construction sites the minimum count comes from Table D-1 of 29 CFR 1926.51. Servicing letters, hand washing and the ADA construction-site exception are on our OSHA requirements page. To size above the legal minimum, use how many portable toilets. The measurements an accessible unit has to meet are on our ADA portable toilet guide.

Questions
It depends on market, unit type, and service frequency, so any national price is misleading.
Published contract and bid prices, with the service frequency attached, are on the portable toilet rental cost guide.
Construction is 28 days with a 28-day service cycle. Events default to four days.
Within about 15 to 20 feet of where a service truck can park. That is the hose reach.
Plan on roughly 5% of total units, with at least one on any public placement.
Different build, different terms.
We can, but we will usually propose a Friday drop instead.
