Portable Handwash Station Rental
OSHA-compliant dual-basin portable handwashing stations with foot-pump operation, freshwater tank, and all supplies included. The essential hygiene companion for construction sites, outdoor events, and food service areas.
What Is a Portable Handwash Station?
A portable handwash station is a standalone, self-contained handwashing facility designed for outdoor locations that lack access to plumbing. It features dual wash basins, a foot-pump mechanism that dispenses freshwater without requiring electricity, a built-in soap dispenser, and a paper towel holder. Used water drains into a separate gray water collection tank at the base of the unit. No plumbing connections, water lines, or power outlets are needed -- the station is completely self-sufficient.
Portable handwash stations are a critical hygiene component on construction sites, at outdoor events, in food service areas, and anywhere that OSHA regulations or local health codes require handwashing facilities. OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.51(f) requires potable water for handwashing on construction sites, and portable handwash stations meet this requirement. Many local health departments also require dedicated handwashing facilities near food preparation and serving areas at outdoor events.
At Flat Rate Porta Potty, handwash stations can be rented as standalone units or as an add-on to any porta potty order. Every rental includes the station, delivery, freshwater supply, soap, paper towels, weekly servicing with freshwater refill, and pickup. Our flat rate pricing includes everything -- no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, and no surprise charges. At $149 per month, it is one of the most affordable ways to bring OSHA-compliant handwashing to any job site or event.

Common questions about portable handwashing facilities
Portable handwash station rentals start at $149 per month for construction sites with weekly servicing and freshwater refill included, or $150 for an event rental. All pricing includes delivery, soap, paper towels, and pickup with no hidden fees. When paired with porta potty rentals, handwash stations are available at bundle pricing. Call us at (888) 405-7585 for an exact quote.
The station uses a foot-pump mechanism to dispense freshwater from a 30-gallon onboard tank. Users press a foot pedal at the base of the unit to activate water flow -- no electricity, batteries, or plumbing hookup is needed. After washing, used water drains through the basin into a separate 30-gallon gray water collection tank at the base. The soap dispenser and paper towel holder are built into the station and restocked at each weekly service visit.
OSHA recommends at least 1 handwash station for every 2 portable toilets on construction sites. For events, 1 station per 4-6 porta potties is a good guideline. Food service areas typically require dedicated handwash stations within 25 feet of food preparation -- check with your local health department for specific requirements. For events of 200+ guests, at least 2-3 handwash stations distributed throughout the venue is recommended.
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.51(f) requires employers to provide potable water for handwashing on construction sites. The standard states that handwashing facilities must provide running water, soap, and single-use towels or a hand dryer. Portable handwash stations meet all of these requirements. Hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy OSHA handwashing requirements -- running water with soap is necessary. Failure to comply can result in OSHA citations and fines.
Monthly rentals include once-per-week servicing. Each service visit includes refilling the 30-gallon freshwater tank, replacing soap and paper towels, draining the gray water tank, and cleaning all surfaces. For high-traffic sites or events with more than 50 daily users per station, we recommend more frequent servicing, which can be arranged at an additional cost. Mid-week refills are also available for active construction sites.
Every handwash station rental includes the dual-basin station itself, delivery to your site on the same truck as your porta potties, weekly servicing with freshwater refill for monthly rentals, liquid hand soap, paper towels, gray water drainage at each service visit, and pickup at the end of your rental. There are no fuel surcharges, setup fees, or environmental fees. The price you are quoted is the total price plus applicable Texas sales tax.
Yes. Handwash stations can be rented as standalone units, completely independent of any porta potty rental. They are commonly used at outdoor dining areas, food truck parks, farmers markets, agricultural operations, nurseries, plant sales, outdoor classrooms, and anywhere that handwashing facilities are needed but plumbing is not available. The same flat rate pricing applies whether you rent them alone or as part of a larger porta potty package.
