Handwash Stations
Handwash Station Rental: what it covers
Quick answer
A handwash station gives people a place to clean their hands beside a portable toilet cluster or a food area. In Nashville it is planned with the food vendors and the units, and it is set on the same firm ground. The count is set from the expected crowd and the food on offer, and the provider supplies the station, the water and the servicing for the length of the rental.
A crowd that uses a toilet and then goes to eat needs somewhere to wash its hands close by, and a crew on a job with no sink nearby needs the same. The handwash station completes the restroom arrangement for a festival, a food event or a long job.
Food is the main reason to plan the station with care. A food area on a downtown street or in a park draws a crowd that moves between the vendors and the toilets, and the station should sit on the route between them without being in the way of the serving line.
On a job site the station is simpler. It sits beside the toilet cluster and near the place where the crew takes its breaks. The provider supplies the water and the servicing, and the schedule is agreed for the length of the job.

Warning signs
Signs you need handwash station rental
Keep the water and the greywater away from the food and the crowd path. Check soap and towels before each service, and keep the station clear of the serving line.
- A food row on a festival street with no hand-cleaning point near the serving line
- A crew eating lunch on a job site where the only water is in the truck
- A park food area with the toilets across the lawn and the crowd going back and forth
- An event with a dozen vendors and one station at the far end
Our process
How our handwash station rental visit works
Map the food and the units
Place the station on the route between the food vendors and the toilet clusters.
Agree the water and the greywater
Settle how the water is supplied and how the used water is removed, so nothing drains onto the ground or the street.
Set the station on firm ground
Use the same firm surface as the toilet cluster, with a clear path and no obstruction at the serving line.
Service the water and supplies
Check the water, soap and towels on a schedule, more often in heat or heavy use.
Remove the station at the end
Collect the station with the units, after the greywater has been removed.
Do food vendors need a handwash station?
Food operations need a place to wash their hands, and an event with food vendors should plan one alongside the public units. The vendors' own requirements should be checked with the event's permit office.
Food safety rules apply to the vendors, and the event plan should show where staff and customers can wash their hands. A station beside the serving line is easier for staff to use than one across the grounds.
How many stations are needed?
The operator sets the number from the expected crowd, the number of food vendors and the length of the event. No Metro ratio for handwash stations is published.
A row of six vendors and a large crowd needs more than one station, and a long event needs stations serviced often enough to stay usable. The plan should write the count down with its reasons.
How is the station kept usable through a long day?
The water, the soap and the towels are checked on a schedule through the day, and the greywater is removed before it fills. A station that runs out in the middle of the lunch rush is the most common failure.
A supply that runs low in heat is the first problem most sites report. The check should be on the schedule, not on the complaint.
The station should be set where the crew or the crowd can see it, with a sign that shows where the water and the towels are kept.
What sort of supply does a station need?
A reliable water source, a supply of soap and towels, and a way to remove the used water. The plan states all three before the station is set.
A station near a food row is used heavily, so the soap and towels are restocked at the start of each service period and not only when they run out.
A drain-off point is agreed with the site, and the provider takes the used water away rather than letting it run onto the ground.
How is a station sited next to a serving line?
Set the station at the end of the serving line, where a vendor can reach it without leaving the line, and keep the customer queue clear of the water and the soap.
A station that is too close to the front of the queue becomes a bottleneck, and one at the far end is ignored. The middle of the stall row is usually the best point.
The water runs off to a drain-off point, and the station is set on a surface that drains away from the serving area.

Why handwash station rental is different in Greater Nashville
Downtown and the riverfront food streets are dense, and a station near a street stall is a practical part of the plan.
Park food areas are often on lawn, so the station needs the same firm pad as the toilets beside it.
Job-site stations on Midtown and Music Row lots are placed by the break area, since the lot has little room.
One call and it gets handled.
Most handwash station rental calls are scheduled the same day when a technician is free, and you approve the price before any work starts.
