Hypothetical example

a 240-worker refinery turnaround in Big Spring

A turnaround brings 240 contract workers into a Big Spring refinery for three weeks. OSHA Table D-1 puts 200 or more workers at 1 seat and 1 urinal per 50: 240 ÷ 50 = 4.8, rounded up to 5 seats and 5 urinals. At our recommended 1 unit per 10 workers, 240 ÷ 10 = 24 units with weekly service. OSHA also requires washing facilities, so hand-wash stations go next to each cluster.

Rural access

How do you reach Howard County sites off I-20?

Most Howard County deliveries come off I-20 at the Big Spring exits, 174 through 182, then follow state and county roads. Howard County land changes from high plains to plateau country, so some lease roads climb or dip. Send a GPS pin, and tell us about steep grades or crossings near Beals Creek.

  • Refinery sites need gate check-in, so list badging rules with your order.
  • Keep units out of low ground along Beals Creek in storm season.
  • Name your I-20 exit for Big Spring sites to save drive time.
  • Wind farm roads may be private, so confirm truck access with the operator.

Howard County questions

This section answers 4 questions in the words callers use. It starts with “What is the distance charge for a porta potty in Big Spring?” and “Can I rent a 2-stall restroom trailer for a Comanche Trail Park event?” Each answer gives the rule or number first, then the conditions that change it. Call (432) 239-8866 for anything not covered here.

What is the distance charge for a porta potty in Big Spring?

Big Spring is in our zone 2, so the distance charge starts from $60 on top of the Odessa price. That puts a Big Spring standard event unit from about $259. Forsan and Coahoma in Howard County are quoted from the Big Spring rate when you call.

Can I rent a 2-stall restroom trailer for a Comanche Trail Park event?

Yes, a 2-stall trailer for a Comanche Trail Park event in Big Spring starts from $1,750 per event, plus the distance charge from $60. The trailer needs level ground, a 110V outlet and a water hose. Ask Big Spring park staff about power and water at your spot.

Do you serve wind farm crews in Howard County?

Yes, we serve Howard County wind farm crews with jobsite units on a 28-day cycle, starting from $225 plus distance. Each Howard County unit gets weekly pumping, scrubbing and restocking. Confirm with the wind farm operator that our service truck can use the private roads.

Do I need a septic permit to use a porta potty on my Howard County land?

A rented porta potty is pumped and hauled by truck, so a Howard County septic permit is for a different kind of system. If you are also putting in septic, the Howard County OSSF Office at 432-264-2208 issues those permits. Our units sit on the surface and leave when you call.
