Hand Wash Station Rental
Standalone sink units with their own water supply, added alongside portable toilets wherever proper handwashing matters most.
What You're Renting
A hand wash station is a self-contained sink unit — no toilet, no plumbing hookup — with a foot-pump or electronic faucet, its own fresh-water tank, a separate greywater tank, soap, and paper towels. See our hand wash station spec page for the full feature list and footprint; this page covers when you need one, how many, and how it fits alongside your toilet rental.
When You Need One
Hand wash stations are typically added — not used as a replacement for a toilet — wherever handwashing compliance matters:
- Food truck and vendor rows at festivals and markets
- Events subject to local health department requirements
- Construction and industrial job sites, especially during cold and flu season
- Sites following OSHA sanitation expectations for handwashing access
- Farmers markets, fairs, and community events
If your units already include a sink — a deluxe flushable unit or a restroom trailer — a separate hand wash station is usually only needed for a food vendor area away from the main restroom bank, not the whole site.
How Many You Need
A common planning guideline is one hand wash station per 75–100 guests, or one per food vendor cluster, whichever is more frequent — food service areas generally warrant their own dedicated station rather than sharing one across the whole event. See our festival & large event guide for layout planning on bigger crowds.
Pairing With Your Toilet Rental
Hand wash stations are ordered as an add-on alongside your toilet units, sharing the same delivery and servicing visit. Our construction rental page and event & wedding rental page cover how they fit into a typical setup for those situations.
Placement & Servicing
Like a portable toilet, a hand wash station needs a level, stable surface and no hookup — it's refilled and drained on the same visit as your toilet units. See our placement guide for ground and access requirements.
Pricing
Hand wash stations are typically priced below a standard toilet unit. See our pricing guide for a full breakdown.
Hand Wash Station FAQs
Do I need a hand wash station if I already have portable toilets?
Standard portable toilets include a hand sanitizer dispenser, but a standalone hand wash station with running water is often expected or required for food service areas and events subject to local health department rules. Deluxe flushable units and restroom trailers already include a sink, so a separate station is usually only needed alongside standard units.
How many hand wash stations do I need?
A common planning guideline is one hand wash station per 75–100 guests, or one per food vendor cluster, whichever is more frequent. Larger festivals often place stations near both restroom banks and food vendor rows.
Do hand wash stations need a water or power hookup?
No. Hand wash stations carry their own onboard fresh-water supply and a separate greywater holding tank, so they work anywhere a portable toilet would without any plumbing or electrical hookup.
