Fayette County farms need field sanitation just like any job site: OSHA 1928.110 sets the baseline at one facility per 20 hand-labor workers, reachable within a quarter mile walk. Lexington Porta Pros delivers standard units to farms, tobacco barns, horse operations and harvest crews across the county, no gravel pad or hookup required.
If you hire hand-labor workers, whether that's tobacco cutting, produce picking or horse farm crews, OSHA 1928.110 covers you the same way it covers a packing shed in California. The rule is specific: potable water, toilet facilities and a place to wash hands, all within a quarter mile of where people are working. One unit per 20 workers is the ratio. Compare that to construction site restroom rules under OSHA 1926.51(c), which use a similar tiered structure but different trigger numbers. A standard portable toilet rental has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall, which is plenty for a field crew moving between rows or paddocks. Farms that also handle livestock or spray operations should look at handwashing station rental too, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not sanitizer alone. If your crew applies herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically for that contact, separate from general field sanitation. We place standard porta potty rental units near equipment staging or barn entrances so nobody's walking a quarter mile through mud. Farms near Nicholasville, about 15.3 miles southwest of Lexington, and Versailles, 15.7 miles west, get the same delivery terms as farms inside the county line.
A standard unit runs $100 to $350 a day depending on length of rental and location, with weekly rates between $130 and $500 and monthly terms from $125 to $325. Most row-crop or tobacco operations rent by the month since harvest season stretches for weeks, not days.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Delivery adds a separate charge, typically $50 to $150 for a week-long placement or $120 to $420 if you're keeping the unit on the farm for a full month. Full pricing detail lives on our monthly porta potty rental page, and if you're comparing daily versus longer terms, the porta potty rental per day breakdown helps. Larger operations running multiple crews sometimes add a deluxe flushable porta potty near the farmhouse or main barn for supervisors and office staff, since those units run $150 to $290 a week. Farms with septic systems tied to a farmhouse or bunkhouse should also plan ahead: a residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size, and we cover that separately under septic pumping service and how often to pump a septic tank. If your farm sits near Paris, 17.0 miles northeast, or Winchester, 18.0 miles east, delivery logistics are straightforward since both are within normal route distance from our Lexington yard.
Placement matters more on a farm than almost anywhere else we deliver, because ground conditions shift with the season and equipment needs clear paths. A standard unit sits on a footprint of about 44 by 48 inches, so it doesn't need much clearance, but it does need stable, level ground. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for surfaces that are stable, firm and slip resistant, and that's good guidance even where ADA compliance isn't strictly required, because a unit sinking into a wet field is a service call waiting to happen. If your operation employs a worker who needs an accessible unit, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and our ADA accessible porta potty meets the 60 inch turning circle called for under section 304.3.1. We generally recommend placing units near a gravel drive, equipment barn or gate rather than deep in a field, both for our service truck access and so workers aren't tracking mud across cropland. For farms combining agricultural work with agritourism, corn mazes, pumpkin patches or farm weddings, check our farm and agricultural restrooms page against our event restroom rental guidance, since event-day traffic needs different unit counts than a daily field crew. Farms around Wilmore, 19.0 miles southwest of Lexington, and Georgetown, 19.9 miles north, often run both a working farm and a seasonal event side, and we service both from the same delivery route. For general planning, how many porta potties do I need walks through crew-size math step by step.
OSHA 1928.110 sets one facility per 20 hand-labor workers, within a quarter mile walk of the work area. A 15-person tobacco crew needs one unit; a 45-person harvest crew needs three, positioned so nobody walks farther than that quarter mile.
No. Standard units are self-contained with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, so they work anywhere on a farm with stable ground, no water or sewer line needed. Placement near a drive or gate helps our truck service them on schedule.
Yes. Monthly terms run $125 to $325 depending on unit count and location, and most row-crop or tobacco farms rent this way since harvest runs several weeks. Weekly and daily terms exist too for shorter jobs.
OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically where workers apply herbicides or insecticides, separate from general field sanitation. Pair a handwashing station rental with your toilet units, since soap and towels are required under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2).
Yes. We run regular routes to Nicholasville, Versailles, Paris, Winchester, Wilmore and Georgetown, all under 20 miles from Lexington. Farms farther out, like those near Richmond at 26.9 miles south, can still request delivery through our request a quote page.
Yes. Lexington Porta Pros delivers farm and agricultural restrooms across Lexington and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
