Harvest Season Ready
Agriculture & Farm Portable Toilet Rentals
Seasonal portable toilet rentals for orchards, vineyards, and farm operations across the Okanagan. Keep your harvest crews comfortable and WorkSafeBC compliant. From $150/month with weekly servicing.
Portable Toilets for Okanagan Agriculture
The Okanagan Valley is one of British Columbia’s most productive agricultural regions, with thousands of hectares of orchards, vineyards, and farms stretching from Peachland to Vernon. During harvest season, operations across the valley bring in seasonal crews that can range from a handful of workers to 50 or more on large properties.
WorkSafeBC requires that all workers — including seasonal and agricultural workers — have access to toilet facilities during working hours. The standard is 1 toilet per 10 workers, the same as construction sites. For farm operators, this means providing portable toilets in locations accessible to workers in the field, not just near the farmhouse or packing facility.
Action Septic has been serving Okanagan agricultural operations for over 29 years. We understand the seasonal nature of farming — you need units for 3–6 months during growing and harvest season, not year-round. Our flexible seasonal rentals let you scale up when crews arrive and scale down when the season wraps.
Okanagan Harvest Calendar
Plan your portable toilet rental around the crops that drive your operation.
Cherry Season (June–August)
The Okanagan cherry harvest is one of the most labour-intensive seasons, with large crews needed for hand-picking. Lake Country and East Kelowna are the primary cherry-growing regions. Crews of 20–50 workers are common on larger operations, requiring 2–5 portable toilets.
Apple Season (September–October)
Apple orchards across the Okanagan bring in seasonal workers for the fall harvest. Most operations run crews of 10–30 workers. Even smaller family orchards hiring a handful of seasonal pickers need to provide sanitation facilities under WorkSafeBC regulations.
Grape Harvest (September–November)
Okanagan vineyards harvest wine grapes from September through November, with some ice wine operations harvesting into December. Vineyard crews vary in size, but even small operations with 5–10 pickers benefit from on-site portable toilets rather than sending workers back to the winery building.
Agricultural Operations We Serve
We provide portable toilet rentals to a wide range of agricultural operations throughout the Okanagan. Whether you run a small family orchard or manage a large commercial vineyard, we can set up the right sanitation for your operation.
Orchards
Cherry, apple, peach, apricot, and pear orchards throughout Lake Country, East Kelowna, and the broader valley. Orchards often need portable toilets placed at the edge of growing blocks where workers spend most of their day, not just at the farm gate. We can deliver to multiple locations on the same property.
Vineyards & Wineries
Grape-growing operations from West Kelowna to Vernon. Vineyards with crews working in rows far from the winery building need field-accessible portable toilets. We also serve wineries that host harvest events or seasonal tours where additional guest washroom capacity is needed.
Vegetable Farms & Market Gardens
Vegetable farms and market gardens with seasonal crews need sanitation facilities that are accessible to workers in the field. Our standard portable toilets at $150/month are a practical, cost-effective solution for operations of any size.
Greenhouses & Nurseries
Greenhouse operations and plant nurseries across the Okanagan employ seasonal workers during propagation and growing seasons. We provide portable toilets that can be placed near work areas for convenient access throughout the shift.
WorkSafeBC Compliance for Agricultural Workers
WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation Part 4 applies to all workplaces in British Columbia, including farms and agricultural operations. The regulations require employers to provide toilet facilities for workers and do not exempt agricultural or seasonal workers.
| Crew Size | Minimum Toilets Required | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10 | 1 | $150 |
| 11–20 | 2 | $300 |
| 21–30 | 3 | $450 |
| 31–40 | 4 | $600 |
| 41–50 | 5 | $750 |
Standard units at $150/month each with weekly servicing included. View full WorkSafeBC portable toilet requirements.
Non-compliance can result in WorkSafeBC orders, fines, and reputational damage. For the cost of $150/month per unit, staying compliant is straightforward and affordable. We handle delivery, weekly servicing, and pickup so you can focus on your operation.
