Boise · 30 towns · 10 countiesMelba's Olde Tyme 4th of July runs all day, with a 10:30 a.m. parade, car show, tractor pull, kids' games, vendors and fireworks at dusk. A full-day event like this needs about 1 unit for every 30 guests. July 4 dates book up early, so reserve weeks ahead.
The 2026 celebration also had a fun run and a Chicken Round Up, run by a volunteer nonprofit. Food vendors mean hand-wash stations matter.
| Expected crowd | Standard units | Hand-wash stations |
|---|---|---|
| 300 | 10 | 3 |
| 600 | 20 | 5 |
| 1,000 | 34 | 9 |

The City of Melba runs streets inside town limits. Nampa Highway District No. 1 covers much of southern Canyon County but has no jurisdiction over City of Melba roads. Units on private yards, farms or driveways need no road permit. Southwest District Health covers Canyon County.
Placing a unit on a road shoulder or in a ditch line is different. Ask the road owner before you plan that spot. Our porta potty permit guide explains how right-of-way rules work.

Melba calls itself the Seed Heart of America, and seed fields still need hand crews. OSHA rule 1928.110 calls for 1 toilet and 1 hand-wash station per 20 field workers. Each must sit within a quarter-mile walk. Farms with 10 or fewer hand laborers fall outside that rule.
Big fields may need units moved as crews work across them. We can place units at different field edges and service them weekly.
| Field crew | Toilets | Hand-wash stations |
|---|---|---|
| 11 to 20 | 1 | 1 |
| 21 to 40 | 2 | 2 |
| 41 to 60 | 3 | 3 |
