Handwash station rental
Handwash Stations for Events and Construction Sites
Portable handwash stations give workers and guests a dedicated place to wash before and after using a restroom. They operate off a self-contained freshwater tank and pump system. No water line hookup, no drainage connection, and no external power required. Foot-pump operation means no touchpoints on the handles.
Standalone rental
A standalone station makes sense when hand hygiene is required at a location that already has restroom access. Food and beverage vendors at festivals, craft fairs, catered outdoor receptions, and farm events commonly need handwash access without ordering portable toilets.
- Works without any portable toilet on the same order. Ideal for catering tents, food vendor rows, and outdoor kitchens where hand hygiene is required but a toilet is already nearby.
- Positions independently anywhere a flat, stable surface is available
- Freshwater tank holds enough supply for one to two days of moderate traffic before a refill visit is needed
- Gray water containment tank stores used water until the service tech pumps it. nothing discharges to the ground and no drainage connection is needed
Paired with portable toilets
Most event and construction orders include at least one handwash station per cluster of portable toilets. Adding a station raises the hygiene level of the entire restroom area and keeps attendees and workers from walking to a distant sink or skipping hand washing entirely.
- One handwash station per four to five portable toilets is the standard pairing ratio for outdoor events and construction sites
- Bundled delivery with portable toilet orders on the same route. No separate scheduling call
- Required by many municipal event permits in Omaha and Douglas County when total restroom unit count exceeds eight
- Position the station at the exit side of the toilet cluster, not between units. It keeps foot traffic moving and reduces congestion
- Service visits for paired rentals follow the same schedule as the toilet pump service, so the freshwater and gray water tanks are both handled in one stop
Station specifications
Five Features Built Into Every Station
Every unit we deliver arrives with all five of these systems in working order. No add-on packages, no feature tiers. One station model, fully equipped.
Foot Pump Operation
The freshwater pump runs entirely by foot pedal. Press the pedal and water flows from the tank up to the faucet basin. No handles or knobs to grip, so no cross-contamination from hand contact. The foot pedal is the only touchpoint on the entire water delivery system, which is why outdoor events and food service operators prefer it over standard lever faucets.
Zero-touch water delivery — HACCP-compatible for food vendor rows
Freshwater Tank
Each station ships with a freshwater holding tank sized for one to two days of regular traffic. The tank is sealed to prevent contamination and mounts inside the lower cabinet of the unit. Water is potable-grade but not intended for drinking. On multi-day rentals our service tech refills the tank on the scheduled visit and checks the pump line for flow.
Tank capacity supports 200 or more hand-wash cycles between refills
Soap Dispenser
A push-pump soap dispenser is mounted on the faucet column and pre-loaded before delivery. We use a standard liquid hand soap, not a sanitizer gel, because the station has running water. On weekly service visits the tech checks fill level and tops off the dispenser. If your event requires a specific soap type for health department compliance, note it when you request a quote and we accommodate it.
Pre-loaded on delivery. Restocked on every service visit
Paper Towel Holder
A recessed paper towel dispenser is built into the cabinet door facing the user. Standard C-fold towels are loaded before delivery and restocked on each service visit. Hand-drying with towels is preferred over air drying in outdoor settings because there is no electricity to run a blower. The dispenser is covered to keep towels dry in rain, and a towel waste slot at the base of the cabinet keeps the area clean.

Gray Water Containment
Every handwash station includes a sealed gray water holding tank that collects all used wash water and soap runoff. Nothing discharges to the ground. The tank is pumped and flushed during each scheduled service visit using the same vacuum truck that services the portable toilets on the order. Gray water containment is required by Douglas County and most city permits for outdoor events where temporary sanitation units are used.

Capacity, Ratios, and Service Response
These figures help event planners and site supervisors size their order correctly the first time, without a back-and-forth revision.
Hand-wash cycles per fill
The freshwater tank on a fully loaded station supports more than 200 hand-wash cycles before a refill is needed. High-frequency food service areas exhaust tanks faster. An outdoor market with 30 food handlers washing every 20 minutes will run through a tank in roughly four hours, which is when a second station or a mid-event refill call is the right move.
Stations to toilets — standard pairing ratio
The industry standard for outdoor events is one handwash station for every four portable toilets. That ratio keeps wait times short without overcrowding the restroom area. Construction sites with hand-tool-heavy trades often request a tighter ratio — one per three units — because workers wash more frequently and with more material on their hands than event guests do.
Hour turnaround on service calls
If a tank runs low or a dispenser needs restocking outside the regular service schedule, we dispatch a technician within 24 hours on weekdays. Emergency refill calls placed before noon typically receive same-day service on routes covering Omaha, Bellevue, Papillion, and La Vista. Weekend calls are routed to the on-call schedule — confirm weekend availability when you book.

How it works
From Quote to Pickup
Add stations to your quote
When you request a quote for portable toilets, tell us the event headcount, the duration, and whether the permit or site requires handwash access. We calculate the right number of stations based on your toilet count and event type, confirm availability, and include stations on the same quote line. One quote, one deposit. The station count and any special positioning notes go on the delivery sheet with the rest of the equipment.
Stations are priced per unit per rental period. No separate delivery fee on bundled orders.
Delivery with your units
Handwash stations arrive on the same truck as your portable toilets. The driver unloads and positions each station at the exit side of the toilet cluster, fills the freshwater tank, loads soap and paper towels, and confirms the foot pump is functioning before leaving. If you have a specific layout — vendor row, main stage, food service area — walk the driver through it when they arrive.
Arrives with your portable toilet order.
Serviced on the same schedule
The pump truck that visits your site for portable toilet service handles the handwash stations in the same stop. The tech pumps the gray water holding tank, refills freshwater, restocks soap and paper towels, and wipes down the exterior. Multi-week construction rentals are serviced weekly by default. Event rentals scheduled for more than two days include at least one mid-rental service visit. The final pickup removes stations and toilets together.
One stop handles everything.
Permitted events and job sites
Most city and county health departments require a dedicated handwashing facility within 200 feet of any food preparation area at a permitted outdoor event.
That requirement comes from the same framework that governs food handler permits. The distinction matters: a bottle of hand sanitizer mounted on a post does not satisfy most jurisdictions. Running water from a self-contained supply, a soap dispenser, and a means of capturing used water are all required. A standard portable handwash station meets all three criteria.
Construction sites under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 must provide handwashing facilities when workers are exposed to certain chemicals or hazardous materials, and recommends them for general sanitation on any site with portable toilet service. Many general contractors add handwash stations to every job site order as a standard practice, not only when chemical exposure is involved.
For weddings, festivals, markets, and community gatherings in Omaha and Douglas County, the permit application typically asks you to confirm the number of handwashing facilities alongside the restroom unit count. Getting the sanitation plan right at the permit stage avoids corrections or last-minute equipment calls the week of the event.
When you request a quote, tell us if a permit is involved. We confirm that the station count and gray water containment on your order match what the permit application requires.
