Georgia rule 511-3-6

What Georgia rule requires

From Rules of the Georgia Department of Public Health, Chapter 511-3-6 — Portable Sanitation Contractors, quoted with citations.

Handwashing fixtures require potable water and Do Not Drink labeling

“The fresh water tank on the service vehicle must be filled with potable water only. All fresh water tanks on the service vehicles and affixed to hand wash fixtures must be labeled with the international symbol for Do Not Drink. Each hand washing fixture must be sufficiently supplied with soap and paper towels adequate for the duration between servicing.”

511-3-6-.03(10)

Why it matters: Soap and towels must last the whole interval between services — a station stocked for a day but serviced weekly is out of compliance by midweek.

Placement is regulated, including distance from food

“Portable sanitation units shall be located as close as practical to the highest concentration of participants, observers and employees of special events. However, the units should be placed as far from the food service area as possible. The safety of users shall be a primary consideration in the placement of the units. At special events, portable sanitation units shall be accessible at all times for maintenance by truck.”

511-3-6-.03(8)

Why it matters: Truck access at all times is the constraint most event layouts break. If a vendor tent or barricade line boxes in the units on Saturday morning, they cannot be serviced Saturday night.

Haulers need an annual Waste Removal and Disposal Permit

“No person shall engage in the removal or disposal of the contents of a portable sanitation unit without having obtained a Waste Removal and Disposal Permit from the Health Authority for the county in which the business is based. The permit must be renewed annually, and shall be valid in every county throughout the State.”

511-3-6-.03(2)

Why it matters: The permit is issued by the county where the company is based but is valid statewide — so an Atlanta-permitted hauler can legally service a job in Savannah. Ask for the permit, not for a local address.

3
We route it to a certified company

Delivery, service, pickup
Placement is confirmed against truck access, and on events against the rule that units stay accessible for maintenance by truck at all times. Service intervals are set before delivery, not after.

Frequently asked questions

Portable Handwashing Station Rental: common questions

Is a handwashing station a regulated unit in Georgia?

Yes. Georgia defines a portable hand washing fixture as any portable fixture containing fresh water, soap and disposable towels used for cleaning an individual's hands, and regulates it under the same chapter as portable toilets — not as an accessory to them.

What are Georgia's rules for handwashing station water?

Fresh water tanks on service vehicles must be filled with potable water only, and hand wash fixtures must be filled from that tank or directly from a potable water source. Every fresh water tank on a service vehicle and on a hand wash fixture must be labelled with the international Do Not Drink symbol.

How much soap and how many towels are required?

Georgia rule requires each fixture be sufficiently supplied with soap and paper towels adequate for the duration between servicing. That is a functional standard, not a fixed quantity — a station stocked for one day but serviced weekly is out of compliance partway through the week, which is the most common failure on larger crews.

Do I need handwashing stations near food at an event?

Food-service events commonly require them, and the requirement usually comes from your local permit office or county environmental health rather than from the portable sanitation rule alone. Ask the permit office directly, because this is a frequent late-stage surprise in event planning.
