What it is

A sink, not
a sanitizer.

A portable handwashing station is a self-contained sink — clean water on top, waste tank below, soap and paper towels stocked. Foot-pump operation keeps it hands-free. Nothing to hook up, nothing to plumb, and it's what a health inspector or an OSHA sheet actually asks for.

Where they go

Five sites that
actually need one.

Not a nice-to-have — on most of these sites it's the difference between passing inspection and not. Same unit works across every one of them.

01

Food Service & Catering

The one health inspectors look for first. Any event serving food off a permit needs a dedicated handwashing station within reach of the food line — a sanitizer dispenser inside a portable restroom is not the same thing under most county codes.

02

Construction & Job Sites

Between the dirty work and the lunch break. Crews need somewhere to actually wash their hands, not just squirt sanitizer, and OSHA hand-hygiene requirements are real. Set one at the trailer or beside the porta-potties.

03

Public Events & Festivals

Community fairs, farmers markets, fundraisers, outdoor concerts. Public-health baseline — visitors expect it, food vendors on-site require it, and a well-stocked handwashing station keeps everything running through the day.

04

Medical & First-Aid Stations

Point-of-care hygiene at outdoor events, athletic tournaments, and community health screenings. Clean hands between patients without hauling a ten-gallon water jug and a plastic bucket to every station.

05

Remote & Off-Grid Sites

Land-clearing crews, film shoots, agricultural sites, extended outdoor work — anywhere the plumbing hasn't caught up yet. Self-contained means you set it down and it works; we handle service on our normal route.

How it works

Four steps,
no surprises.

  1. 01

    Tell us the job

    Call or send the form. Headcount, duration, and where the station sits — food line or job trailer — that decides the count and the service cadence.

  2. 02

    We deliver

    Next day for orders by 4 PM. Dispatched from Mebane or Smithfield depending on where you are.

  3. 03

    We service

    Weekly on the standard schedule — refill the clean water tank, empty the waste tank, restock soap and towels, wipe down the interior. High-traffic sites can move to daily.

  4. 04

    We pick up

    One call and the truck comes back. Extending? We handle it before the window closes rather than at pickup.

Where we deliver

38 towns,
two yards.

Same truck routes as the restrooms. Whether you need a single station at a food trailer or ten at a festival, delivery lands next day and service follows the standard weekly window.

Questions

The ones we get
every week.

Why do I need a handwashing station separate from portable restrooms?

Portable restrooms have a hand sanitizer dispenser inside; that is not the same as a wash station under most county health codes. Any event serving food off a permit will be asked for a dedicated handwashing station at inspection. Construction sites want them for the same reason a home has a sink at the door — sanitizer is not a hand wash.

How many stations do I need?

One rule of thumb: one handwashing station per four portable restrooms, or one per 200 attendees at a food-service event. For construction sites, one station per crew of ten workers is a reasonable baseline. Call and tell us the shape of the day and we will size it against your specifics rather than the average.

How often are the stations serviced?

Weekly on our standard schedule — clean-water tank refilled, waste tank pumped, soap and paper towels restocked, interior wiped down. High-traffic events and multi-day festivals can move to daily service or twice-a-week; tell us the expected use and we match the cadence.

Do you supply the soap and paper towels?

Yes. Stations are stocked at delivery with antibacterial soap and single-fold paper towels, and both are refilled at every service call. Nothing for you to source separately.

Do the stations need to connect to water or a drain?

No — the point of a portable station is that it is self-contained. Fresh water lives in a tank on top; used water drops into a sealed waste tank at the base. We refill and empty at each service. Set it on level ground and it works.

Have an event or a site that needs one?

Tell us the headcount and the duration and we'll size the count for you. Order by 4 PM and it's on the truck the next day.
